Course Overview:
Designed to introduce experienced and practicing counsellors and psychotherapists to training in supervision, you will learn how to develop and maintain a supervisory relationship. The training is applicable in a diverse range of contexts and supervisory relationships. The course will provide knowledge of various humanistic and integrative approaches and models of supervision, drawing on relevant literature and relevant research findings. The course will offer a space to practice the integration of theoretical concepts, supported by your own theoretical and ethical base, and growing self-awareness. 

Structured over 3 modules, it focuses on the tasks and processes of supervision considered through the lens of models of supervision, specifically, ‘The Cyclical Model’ (Page and Wosket, 2014) and ‘The 7 eyed Model’ (Hawkins and Shohet, 2012). Participants will integrate this learning with their own approach, ethical framework and knowledge base.
