PCE-CfD is an NHS Talking Therapies (formerly IAPT) approved modality, and this qualification will equip graduates for clinical supervisory practice in the NHS Talking Therapies context.

The course provides opportunities for participants who are licensed PCE-CfD practitioners to develop their PCE ways of thinking, being, and practicing in relation to the supervisory relationship. Emphasis will be placed on developing one’s competencies and unique style of PCE-CfDS practice.

Course Philosophy

The philosophy of the training programme is Person-Centred Experiential, and delivery of the content will be based on didactic, experiential and skills-based methods with a strong foundation in the clinical practice of working with counsellors working in the PCE-CfD modality.

The ethos of the whole programme is to support the individual learning styles and the emerging needs of participants. They will have opportunities to develop as reflexive practitioners, and to
deepen their knowledge of PCE approaches to supervision, philosophically, theoretically and inpractice. The course provides opportunities for participants who are licensed PCE-CfD practitioners to develop their PCE ways of thinking, being, and practicing in relation to the supervisory relationship. Emphasis will be placed on developing one’s own competencies and unique style of PCE-CfDS practice.
