Creative Supervision includes the use of action methods and creative approaches in the supervision of therapists and other staff involved in clinical work with clients of all ages, utilising a variety of theoretical frameworks, and in a variety of circumstances.  These strategies will also prove useful in the mentoring and consultative roles that are part and parcel of many therapists professional life. This course will focus on utilising new and innovative approaches utilising the creative arts, lateral thinking, and playful activities in the supervision process.   

This is an in-depth course with over 100 hours tutor contact, in keeping with IAHIP requirements. It is an experiential course with a substantial theoretical component.  The core theoretical model utilised in the course is humanistic and integrative with a review of other relevant theoretical approaches.  It is suitable to therapists adopting a variety of approaches in their work, regardless of the specific core training that they have undertaken. The Diploma Course includes a module on The Dimensions Model   which offers an organizing structure to assist practitioners, and supervisors, to conceptualize, plan, and intervene with clients.  By anchoring the therapy process to two primary dimensions, consciousness and directiveness, the therapist is free to select from a broad range of therapy approaches to optimize treatment.

This course is designed as an advanced experiential and skills based training for qualified psychotherapists, play therapists, creative arts therapists and psychologists with at least three years post qualifying experience. Suitable candidates will usually have a busy practice, generally working with 8 or more clients each week.  Supervised practice as supervisors is essential during the training and is included in the course fee.
