I hope you are well. We are currently processing applications for our 2023 Diploma in Creative Supervision course. If you have been considering training as a supervisor please take a look at the details! Currently, there is a major shortage of creative supervisors available so we are super excited to deliver this training and in turn have more creative supervisors working in the field.
|
We have facilitated supervision training a number of times over the years, although it is not an annual training for us so if you are considering training as a supervisor now is the time to take the leap! We are very excited about our new revised course featuring some of our all time favourite trainers and some new content and trainers too! We are delighted to be able to deliver this training with input from international experts in the field: Joan Wilmot, David LeVay and Simon Kerr-Edwards are all scheduled to teach modules. There is also a one day conference covering ‘Legal Issues’ included in the course. This Intensive training day is specifically designed to cover what you need to know about the legal system and the delicate legal issues involved in therapeutic work with clients of all ages and is delivered by Seamus Clarke BL, a barrister with particular expertise in the field. Monique McEvoy is the course leader and is available throughout the course – she is directly involved in teaching, assessment and supervision roles. I will including a little summary below but you will find full details here: https://childrenstherapycentre.ie/diploma-in-creative-supervision-2/

Creative Supervision includes the use of action methods and creative approaches in the supervision of therapists and other professionals involved in direct work with clients of all ages, utilising a variety of theoretical frameworks, and in a variety of circumstances. These strategies also prove useful in the mentoring and consultative roles that are part and parcel of many professional lives. This course focuses on utilising new and innovative approaches utilising the creative arts, lateral thinking, and playful activities in the supervision process. An aim is to facilitate supervisors to connect more fully with supervisees, and facilitate them in fully exploring and finding solutions to dilemmas in client work and in the management of clinical teams. There is a focus on learning to match supervision style and process to supervisee needs, ensuring that the continuum of needs of those with varying degrees of experience are responded to in an integrated manner. Central to this is the use of informed intuition to hypothesise, blended with advanced skills in understanding intrapersonal and interpersonal processes, and knowing when and how to apply diverse approaches.

This course is suitable to therapists adopting a variety of approaches in their work, regardless of the specific core training that they have undertaken. It is an experiential training with a substantial theoretical component and equips trainees to undertake the multiple roles of the supervisor. The core framework utilised in the course is humanistic and integrative. Our emphasis on creative approaches makes it suitable for those supervising practitioners who work in a wide variety of settings, with a broad spectrum of clients. Our main model for supervision is that developed by Hawkins and Shohet; the Seven Eyed Supervision Model described in their ground-breaking book ‘Supervision in the Helping Professions’. “The one really powerful book in this area, a book that fundamentally changed the way in which people think about supervision and training.” according to Professor John McLeod. There are also opportunities to review other relevant theoretical approaches.
|
This course is designed as an advanced experiential and skills based training for:
|
- Psychotherapists, play therapists, creative arts therapists, and psychologists with considerable experience (usually with at least 5 years post-qualifying experience) and who are ready to, or have started to, provide supervision.
- Health care and helping professionals holding supervisory responsibilities
- Teachers, carers, community workers who wish to develop their supervision skills
- Others with a supervisory role.
Suitable psychotherapist candidates will usually have a busy practice, generally working with 8 or more clients each week. These clients may be adults or children or a combination of both.

Course Duration: To facilitate trainees maintaining their work, we run the course over a number of one – three-day modules throughout the year rather than having weekly or monthly sessions.
