| Course description |
Rationale
All counselling and psychotherapy practitioners are required to have regular supervision by a suitably experienced and qualified supervisor. Increasingly, professional bodies expect that these supervisors will have completed a professionally-validated supervision course. In October 2005, COSCA, our professional body in Scotland, launched such a supervision course.
This course will incorporate the COSCA supervision course and serve as an optional course for students enrolled on the new MSc in Counselling Studies (Continuin Professional Practice). It will also be offered as a CPD course.
Aims
This course provides a comprehensive professional training in counselling supervision. Students will
- study the principal theories and models of supervision,
- analyse research evidence on supervision,
- explore the social, cultural and organisational contexts in which supervision takes place,
- examine the challenges and dilemmas, including ethical issues, which arise in counselling supervision
- develop their supervision skills and self-awareness as a supervisor through practising supervision skills on the course, undertaking a counselling supervision placement and completing a substantial case study of their work with a supervisee
