Designed for qualified professionals, The Certificate in Clinical Supervision is suitable for counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, consultants, social workers, probation officers, mental health workers, and others in the helping professions. It is aimed at practitioners who have been post-qualified for at least three years, regardless of their field of work or theoretical orientation. By bringing together professionals from different backgrounds, the course fosters dialogue on both shared principles and distinctive perspectives in the theory and practice of supervision.
The Certificate in Clinical Supervision is rooted in a relational approach to supervision, exploring the diverse landscape that supervision now engages with. It offers participants the opportunity to develop their own unique style as supervisors while considering the many challenges that arise in contemporary supervision practice.
