Entry Requirements | Programme | Tutors | Fees

Welcome to the first UK Child Psychotherapy Supervision course. We are excited to offer this unique programme which has been created as a response to the dearth of qualified Child Psychotherapy Supervisors.

The training is open to practitioners with experience in therapeutic work with children and previous psychotherapy, counselling or therapeutic counselling trainings. We also welcome members of caring professions: psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers and coaches.

We endeavour to provide a training opportunity to the highest professional standards. The course addresses professional, ethical and legal dilemmas specific to the child and adolescent psychotherapy and counselling field.

Subjects covered:

• Philosophical concepts of supervision. Supervisory relationship; tasks & roles

• Current legislation relating to therapeutic work with children
• Safeguarding children/child protection issues
