This course is aimed at counsellors with a Diploma in Counselling or counselling skills users with a COSCA Counselling Skills certificate or equivalent as their training. It is designed to equip the less experienced practitioner with a better understanding and use of supervision, as well as to provide a significant first step for the longer trained and more experienced practitioner in their role as supervisors. The course has full COSCA validation.

Entry Requirements

Certificate in Counselling Supervision: requires participants to have a Counselling Diploma (or equivalent) and substantial (at least 2 years’) experience as a counselling practitioner with a minimum of 150 hours supervised client work and  be in a position to practice in a supervisory role in their own organisation or have other arrangements.

Study Outline
The Course is divided up into two separate sections:

This part of the course, which is in addition to the above, involves supervisory work. You must be in a position to supervise at least 2 counsellors/counselling skills users and submit a 2000‐2500 word case study based on your work as a supervisor.
