Course Overview

Delivered through a combination of distance learning and experiential weekends, the part-time Postgraduate Diploma Consultative Supervision has an excellent reputation as a comprehensive training package for continuing professional development, covering both the practical and theoretical aspects of consultative supervision. This course is enjoyable, creative, and experiential. It is suitable for counsellors, psychotherapists (of all modalities), and other helping professionals such as teachers, social workers, IDVAs and ISVAs, ministers, sign language interpreters, and anyone who wants to offer non-managerial supervision in a warm and creative environment. 

Teaching

This is a blended learning course, involving preparatory reading and distance learning, and seven experiential teaching blocks, in which you will explore and play with powerful reflective techniques and approaches.

On the block teaching sessions, you will have workshops that demonstrate creative approaches to practice, skills practice in small groups and group presentations. This serves to consolidate your learning from your practice in the field.

The course runs on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the academic year.
