| Summary | 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 will 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
