Diploma in Supervision Course Leader – Dr Heward Wilkinson Who is eligible to attend the course? Experienced practitioners in Psychotherapy, Counselling, and closely related Professions such as Specialist Nursing or Occupational Therapy, will increasingly find themselves supervising their peers today. The understanding of practice within the Humanistic and Integrative community especially relationally based work, accepts the commitment to lifelong supervision. The supervisory relationship enables practitioners to process their work, deal with the (significant) emotional dilemmas that arise, use their own process to understand their clients better, and be able not to succumb to burn-out. As a practitioner develops experience they will frequently be called upon to facilitate students and colleagues through the supervisory process. The SCPTI Diploma in Supervision is a training that draws upon a hierarchy of relationships and skills mapped by Hawkins and Shohet in their ‘seven-eyed’ model as presented in Supervision in the Helping Professions (1989 1st ed). It enables practitioners to access and systematise skills they already have, learn advanced capacities to draw upon their own process and responses to their supervisees in the work so as to enable the supervisee to parallel this with their client work, and to be contained in working with the many dilemmas and ethical knots which arise in client work in our troubled but also increasingly psychologically conscious times. Qualification for UKCP members leads to recognition in the UKCP Directory of Supervisors.

It is a low key, accessible, highly adaptable, descriptive, framework, which enables exploration of the various dimensions which apply in this work, some of which are:
We can draw also from other congruent literature relevant to this field, but the course is not mandatorily a ‘book heavy’ course, unless that is how a member wishes to enquire, but rather focuses primarily on experience, and developing creative autonomy.
