Diploma in Supervision – Online

This very popular Diploma in Supervision course is now in its 18th year and for 2024 we will  again be offering an online course.

We have trained a wide range of therapists across a range of modalities to facilitate professionals in supervisory relationships. This Diploma in Supervision course is for those who want to enhance their practice by adding Supervision to their portfolio and supervising students and qualified professionals both from their own modality and across other modalities.

To qualify for study on the Diploma in Supervision course you will need to have significant experience working as a practitioner (minimum 3 years post qualification) within your field. There will be an opportunity to learn different theoretical ideas about supervision as well as to practice application with support and feedback from tutors and peers. We offer a supportive, stimulating learning environment with peers and tutors who have many years of expertise in working as supervisors and trainers.

The Link Centre Diploma in Supervision is aligned with the BACP Supervision Core Competencies. The course has a significant component of experiential learning – where students are encouraged to practice supervision skills, reflect on the skills, and bring their own experiences of both client work and supervision. Group discussions relating to these skills sessions offer rich opportunities for learning about individual needs, relational dynamics, challenges, and managing the supervision process. Other core subjects are covered that are more specifically addressed in the course curriculum (such as the supervision models, ethics and professional practice, supervision relationship, beginnings and endings, developmental stages of supervision). In addition, we directly cover creative supervision, group supervision, and working in organisations.

Working online forms a significant part of the course. Subjects such as working over the phone, children and young people, trauma, and working with interpreters will again frequently be explored in our discussions, especially where students are bringing specific requests around working in these areas and subject knowledge through the work they do as therapists.

For those that want to, this course will help to prepare you to apply for BACP accreditation as a supervisor.

“When I began the course it was about getting a piece of paper to say I had a Diploma in Supervision. What I gained was so much more… The course changed the way that I do and offer supervision. It gave me an understanding of who I was as a supervisor. The trainer encouraged growth and I felt valued and respected as a psychotherapist.

I was grateful for the course being online as this allowed me to complete the course in a timely manner. I personally did not feel that I missed out on completing the course via Zoom. I Found that the use of the rooms was a chance to work, meet and speak with my peers. The handouts and use of the online platform was easy to use.

I would recommend the course to fellow counsellors/psychotherapists and will encourage my staff to complete the supervision course with the Link Centre when they feel ready.  I would like to thank you for giving me the time to grow and to become.” (Debbie R – July 2021)

“I would definitely recommend this course.  The training content has everything needed to become a qualified supervisor.  It was great to meet other very experienced counsellors and there was an emphasis on participation and the practical use of the knowledge delivered.  The course content is comprehensive in that it covers different models of supervision and how they integrate with each other, including an in-depth look at the seven eyed model,  ethics, diversity and up to date legislation.  I felt fully supported by our tutor and looked forward to each training session.” (Dee W – July 2021)

“The supervision diploma with the Link Centre is very good.  It was really helpful to learn with other therapists, with plenty of opportunity to share knowledge and experience. The balance of theory and experiential learning, to my mind, is just right.  Mark is a great trainer, he brings into the mix fun and informative sessions.  I particularly liked the opportunity to develop more confidence in the delivery of supervision in creative and innovative ways.  Since graduating I have gone on to develop several supervision agreements with new clients.” (Jo T – July 2021)
