Advanced Course in Counselling Supervision

This Advanced Course in Counselling Supervision is aimed at experienced counsellors and supervisors, who want to be able to supervise at a Psychotherapeutic level.

This customised award has been credit rated by SQA at Level 11 on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) with 60 credit points and validated by  Counselling and Psychotherapy in Scotland (COSCA).

This supervision course was developed as a result of a new approach to counselling. The course is fundamentally about ‘making meaning’; underpinned by attachment theory it integrates counselling theories from orientations including Psychoanalytical, Cognitive Behavioural and Humanistic schools (Person Centred and Transactional Analysis).

It uses a multi-model framework for supervision (Proctor and Inskipp, Shohet and more) while being strongly influenced by Egan’s Skilled Helper. There is also a focus on group supervision and group dynamics.
