Update June 2010 Regretfully we have decided to withdraw the supervision course as the number of applications have remained low, however we will continue to look at the core structure and other marketing strategies and will keep you informed about future developments. |
This is an innovative
and stimulating course suitable for experienced counsellors and psychotherapists.
The course aims to provide professional counsellors and psychotherapists
with the opportunity to identify and develop their skills and knowledge,
in order to become competent and reflective supervisors. It is designed
to support applications for accreditation as a Supervisor of Individuals
and/or Groups of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.
The facilitators will
work with participants to co-create a course tailored to meet the demands
of supervised practice in the diversity of settings where supervision
may be required.
The course also aims
to facilitate a creative and developmental approach to Person-Centred
Supervision, drawing on its classical foundations while continuing to
be informed and challenged by new ways of thinking and on-going research.
