Course outline

This course aims to provide a clear and relevant understanding of the professional knowledge and skills needed to be an effective counselling supervisor within the changing and diverse environment of present day counselling and psychotherapy.

The course will incorporate the key counselling supervision skills highlighted in the BACP Counselling Supervision Curriculum Framework and, whilst the course will concentrate on working with difference on the eighth training day, we will consider equality, inclusion and diversity throughout the course to enable our learners to effectively build their practice in counselling supervision in line with the current expectations of the profession.

Using both theory and practical activities, the course will encourage individual and group learning and will be ideal for those who recognise the importance of experiential and practical learning (Skills practice will take place in Zoom break out groups).

Participants will be expected to take responsibility of their own learning. Our facilitator will use communicative education techniques throughout and participants must be willing to engage with all the group members during all group activities, to further advance all participants’ learning, as practice time is built into every session and assessment is carried out throughout the course.
