Effective Supervision

The 'Effective Supervision' workshop was interactive, informative and really good fun. It has given me much pause for thought since, not only in how I prepare for and use Supervision but in how I reflect on my practice in general. - Michael McLinn, Counsellor

As counsellors we are repeatedly told of the importance of supervision, however often we are at a loss on how to make the most effective use of it. This  workshop is for qualified counsellors and counsellors in training. Exploring key facets of effective supervision, ensuring counsellors are well supported in their clinical practice.

​This workshop was run successfully for the volunteer counsellor's at the Coplestone Centre Creative Arts Therapies service.
