Training In CBT & Other Evidence-Based Psychological Therapies
Introduction
Supervision forms a vital part of our clinical work and roles as psychological therapists. Whilst we are likely to be aware of the important function and impact of effective supervision, finding ourselves in busy roles may mean that we may not have as many opportunities as we would like to consider the key factors that contribute to this.
As well as considering the roles and responsibilities of both supervisors and supervisees, pausing to reflect on factors that contribute to a positive supervisory alliance is also important. Time will be spent in this workshop exploring such factors, with opportunities to also consider different models of supervision.
As supervisors, it is also imperative that we have opportunities to consider how we foster supportive and appropriate discussions with diversity in mind, with the aim being to work towards embracing important conversations with sensitivity and cultural humility. There will also be consideration of psychological safety as part of the workshop.
The event will be equivalent to 2.3/4 hrs of CPD.
