CERTIFICATE IN PERSON CENTRED SUPERVISION |
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.
