Programme Structure

The course comprises a 60-credit clinical supervision training module, 'Supervision in Counselling, Psychotherapy and Helping Relationships'. You will study over two semesters of ten weeks each. 

One 60-credit module:  

This module offers a unique opportunity for you to further your personal and professional development and obtain a supervision qualification. It is a double module, spanning semesters one and two. Based on Hawkins and Shohet’s seven-eyed supervision model, it is open not only to counsellors and psychotherapists with a minimum of one year post-qualification supervised practice experience but also to the wider community of helping professionals as a stand-alone module.

The training consists of lectures, experiential exercises, and skills practice that aim to enable you to gain the skills, knowledge, and experience to become safe and effective supervision practitioners. You are expected to have access to potential supervisees in order to complete the twenty-hour external supervisory practice requirement.

Assessment is based on a methodology and philosophy of supervision essay, as well as a live skills assessment and a final thirty-minute transcribed recording accompanied by a process commentary and practice evaluation embedded in a portfolio evidencing practice hours, knowledge, and reflectivity.
