This practical and reflective CPD course is designed to support counsellors, psychotherapists, and mental health practitioners in developing the skills, confidence, and mindset needed to make the most of clinical supervision. Whether you’re newly qualified, in training, or a seasoned professional, this course will help you become a more active, empowered, and collaborative supervisee.
Good supervision is essential for ethical, effective practice – but being a skilled supervisee is just as important. This course explores how to approach supervision with purpose, communicate effectively with your supervisor, and use the space for growth, support, challenge, and accountability.
Through interactive discussion, experiential exercises, and case reflection, participants will gain a clearer understanding of their supervisory needs, how to prepare for sessions, and how to bring complex or stuck material with greater openness and self-awareness.
This course is suitable for trainee, newly qualified, and experienced counsellors and psychotherapists seeking to enrich their supervisory experience. It is also relevant for those considering changing supervisors or wanting to refresh their approach to supervision as part of their CPD.
No materials required. Please bring a pen and paper for note-taking.
By the end of this course, participants will recognise what makes supervision effective and collaborative and feel more confident in bringing difficult or vulnerable material to their supervisor. You may consider further CPD and/or more advanced Counselling courses.
