Training In CBT & Other Evidence-Based Psychological Therapies
Introduction
There are many demands on clinicians’ time and supervision time can be squeezed. There is also scope for supervision to become less structured as people move through their clinical careers.
This workshop will begin with an exploration of the common factors that get in the way of effective clinical supervision. The evidence and principles that guide the delivery of clinical supervision is presented. We will then explore a range of strategies, tools and methods to improve supervision in relation to normative, formative and restorative elements.
The event will be equivalent to 2.3/4hrs of CPD.
Content
Attendees will be encouraged to reflect on their experiences and practice. There is also the opportunity for attendees to use this experience to identify areas for action and how this might be implemented in their supervisory practice.
The overall aim of this workshop is to share useful strategies and promote reflection on supervisory practice in order to inspire positive improvements that benefit the supervisor, supervisees and the people receiving clinical care.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this workshop, participants will learn to:
• Identify and modify factors that affect the effectiveness of clinical supervision.
• Integrate different modes and methods to improve supervision practice.
• Reflect on the status of their own supervision practice and create an action plan as required.
Training Modalities
This workshop will include didactic content, as well as experiential exercises with feedback in the chat, polls and Q&A.

The BACP Low Intensity SIG are interested in the impact of clinical contact hours on Low Intensity/Wellbeing Practitioner wellbeing. This questionnaire contains six multi-choice questions and a free text box for you to share your experiences. The answers to these questions will help the BABCP SIG plan how to meet CPD topics and other developments within the SIG. The SIG hope to produce a write up of the answers to this questionnaire to be shared with SIG members and to be used in training.
