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.
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.

I have found the course empowering, confidence building and fun. Despite the serious subject matter, the tutors and their support, gentle challenging nature, accepting presence and genuineness has made me feel at ease despite my low confidence and doubting myself as a supervisor at the beginning of the course. As a group of practitioners, we very much had a say in the course structure which has helped me feel that it belongs to us. As we move towards the end of the course – I feel ready to begin my work as a supervisor.
This is a course of high quality tutoring allowing exploration and learning about supervision in a person centered environment… A master class of training. Having both Geraldine and Lorraine who have offered different experiences and dimensions have been extremely helpful and fruitful. Its been a pleasure to spend time with like minded, experienced practitioners to expand my knowledge and improve my practice of person centered supervision. Its great – do it!!!
