Extended Supervision Training in Online and Phone Therapy

CPD TRAINING FOR COUNSELLING SUPERVISORS

Elevate your supervision skills and adapt to the ever-evolving world of online and phone therapy

Supervise therapists who practice using online technology with confidence and expertise

Things have changed!

As you may know, in February of 2021 the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) updated it's supervision competence framework to raise training and practice standards in counselling and psychotherapy supervision.

A BIG change that affects many, is that supervisors should now hold specific competences to work with practitioners who serve their clients using remote technology (BACP, 2021, pp 46-49)

Up until now, only new supervision training, built after February 2021, has included the new competences for online and phone working.

We have had so many letters and emails from clinical supervisors asking us to consider building an extended top-up CPD certificate covering the required competences.

I am delighted to say this training is now available and the best part is, you can gain the competences you need, in your own time and at a pace that suits you.
