Counselling & Psychotherapy Training Institute - Supervision Training

Supervision Training
The CPTI supervision training programme is offered to counsellors and psychotherapists who want formal training in supervision and for other professionals in the health fields, human resources and social services. This training can offer major benefits for the professional development of managers and for anyone working with people; individual modules may be undertaken and these will carry dual outcome credits at graduate or post graduate levels.

Supervision is an established part of counselling and psychotherapy practice and is considered as an essential part of working in these professions. Supervision provides a space for the practitioner to reflect on the work with a client or colleagues; to look at their responses to the client’s presenting issues and to consider different ways of working or of looking at a specific issue. Supervision is a distinct and separate activity from line management and normally supervisors have no other working relationship with the supervised.

Increasingly the value of this form of professional supervision is being accepted in the fields of medicine, social work and in other professional situations where working with a client group is core to the work. It is likely that independent professional supervision will become the norm in many professional fields.
