Supervising the Trainee Therapist

Supervising Trainee Therapists is a challenging and rewarding endeavour. This short one-day course introduces supervisors to working with contemporary trainee therapists and provides insights from research and contemporary practice on how to more effectively supervise early stage development therapists and trainee therapists.

Clinical Supervision “is generally rated the second most important contribution to one’s professional development, immediately behind direct experience [of] working with patients” (Norcross & Goldfried, 2019, p. 396). Supervisors are also considered gatekeepers of the profession of psychotherapy and enjoy both the benefits of senior membership of professional practice, along with the challenges of an ever changing landscape of training standards, competencies and research.
