Postgraduate Certificate in Transpersonal and Integrative Supervision

A one year professional training for Counsellors and Psychotherapist.

Supervision Training

A one year part time training programme, which is designed to be suitable for new and experienced supervisors.

The training emphasises the importance of a safe learning environment where practical skills can be learnt in small to promote reflective practice.

Course participants will be given the opportunity to become conversant and skilled in working with the meaningfulness of unconscious processes in supervision while integrating an understanding of the Transpersonal, and creative methods into your supervision philosophy and practice.

We use seminars, lectures, discussions, student presentations, live demonstrations and observations of session, analysis of audio tapes and supervision, and learning log booka to develop practical and creative supervision skills.

The written requirements are similar to the BACP supervisor accreditation scheme, should graduates wish to apply.

The course is tutored by staff with a wide range of experience in supervision in diverse organisational and multicultural settings as well as in independent practice, with backgrounds in education, psychology, social work, nursing, psychiatry and the voluntary sector.

The aims of the one-year programme are to:

> develop an understanding of key themes relevant to the theory and practice of supervision from a transpersonal and integrative perspective

> develop a in-depth knowledge of the ethical and systemic contexts of supervision

> develop and refine good practice as a supervisor

> assimilate and develop creative skills for the practice of supervision from an integrative and transpersonal perspective

> develop the professional maturity and competences required of a supervisor
