Certificate/Diploma in Supervision:

An Integrative Relational Approach

Course Leader: Paul Hitchings

Head of Department: Professor Maria Gilbert


The course is based upon an integrative approach to supervision and supervisory practice. It is suitable for:

  • Qualified counsellors and psychotherapists.
  • Psychologists.
  • Psychiatrists.
  • Social workers.
  • Probation officers and others in the helping professions.

Being integrative, the course is not therefore linked to any particular orientation of counselling or psychotherapy, but rather presents a generic model of supervision. It is aimed at practitioners in different fields of work and with different theoretical approaches to counselling, psychotherapy and other forms of clinical practice. o­ne of our objectives is to bring together helping professionals of different orientations so that they can discuss and debate both their commonalties and differences in theory and practise. The diversity of professional backgrounds and theoretical orientations provides a richness of experience, challenge and opportunity to participants.

The training aims to provide participants with:

  • A theoretical basis and practical skills in supervision.
  • The ability to practise independently or in a professional association as supervisors for practitioners in the helping professions.
