why train to be a supervisor
I am amazed at how much supervising others affects my own practice. It adds another dimension to my work which I find very stimulating.

training benefits
- Expand your portfolio by becoming a supervisor
- Supplement your income by supervising other integrative practitioners and students
- This training can be particularly of benefit for those who are working towards accreditation.
- This training is firmly focused on equipping you to help your future supervisees to produce results and make their practice as effective as possible.
Why train with us?
The niche
Integrative Counselling and Coaching is one of the fastest-growing approaches in the field of one-to-one practices, but there is still a gap in the market for supervisors who are familiar with this way of working.
our tutors
All our tutors were supervisors on the PGDip/MSc Integrative Counselling and Coaching Programme – the first post-graduate programme of its kind in the world
effectiveness
As integrative practice has the potential to benefit clients more than single approaches, integrative supervision has the potential to greatly benefit the work of supervisees.

- How to help your supervisee without analysing the client. It’s easy in supervision to slip into discussing clients, analysing what’s wrong with them, where their issues stem from, their attachment styles, or their personality types. While this can make the supervisor and supervisee feel engaged and professional, it often does little to actually help the client. Even if your analysis is correct, it may not effectively move the client towards their goals. Moreover, as the supervisor does not have first-hand experience with the client, these conjectures are more likely to be distorted. Supervision can offer more by focusing on the process of helping the client get where they want to be, which entails viewing the relationship and client as processes, too. You will learn how to do this.
- How to recognize blind spots in your supervisee’s work. It’s common to identify blind spots in hindsight – when it’s too late. You will learn how to help supervisees recognize them on time when they can do something about them.
- How to listen, give feedback, and make suggestions without triggering your supervisee’s defence mechanisms, and how to create an atmosphere where supervisees feel safe and comfortable to open up and be honest.
- How to keep the focus in supervision sessions and help the supervisees keep the focus in sessions with their clients.
- How to help supervisees manage their own conflicts and barriers to productive work, such as a lack of confidence as well as overconfidence, not liking the client or liking/sympathising with them too much, being triggered or identifying with the client, and feeling stuck or rushing to help.
- How supervisees can help clients find their way forward without being overly directive.
- How to ensure your supervisee receives consistent support even if you only see them once or twice a month.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
What’s Included
the 10 live online days (all on Saturdays)
each of which builds on the previous to provide embedded and comprehensive

You will have an opportunity to discuss your work with supervisees with a member of our team at one hour one-to-to session each month for the duration of the course.
With no more than 15 participants per course
the training sessions provide an intimate
experience in which you’ll get to know and work with your peers and course leaders.
The sessions are highly participatory to create a fully interactive environment with breakouts and whole group discussions.
The sessions are made up of:

“Over the course of ten live sessions you will acquire and build on the knowledge and skills necessary to effective integrative supervision.”
