Group Supervision: A 2-Day Experiential CPD Journey
Elevate Your Supervisory Practice
Step into a dynamic, reflective, and professionally enriching space with our 2-day CPD course in Group Supervision with tutor Richard Carroll and assistant tutor Suzanne Bunt who facilitate our long-standing, well received Level 6 Course in Counselling Supervision.
This two-day CPD event is designed for qualified or in training supervisors and will offer experiential training exploring the richness of group dynamics, facilitation, supervisory models, and the realities of power and responsibility.
With a balance of tutor input, collaborative discussions, and hands-on role play, you’ll gain deeper insight into:
- Group theory/dynamics
- Ethical dilemmas in supervision
- Managing parallel process and group conflict
- Integrating theory with professional practice
- Facilitating group contracts and supervision models
Please note: ‘This course is designed to give supervisors a flavour of the differences between individual and group supervision; there will be role play, however not everyone attending will be in the supervisor role.
‘This course aims to equip you with enhanced confidence, practical tools, and a wider perspective on your supervisory role — all within a safe, supportive, and engaging online learning environment.
CPD certificates will be provided following completion of the 2 days.
Richard and Suzanne were very knowledgeable and were good at sharing that knowledge. They were also good at timekeeping. Both of them demonstrated empathy and encouragement.
Richard has a warm, approachable style and is encouraging but challenging when needed!
I benefitted from the way Richard breaks down theoretical concepts into manageable, east-to-understand parts.
Richard’s deep knowledge and professional experience is evident.
Richard creates a safe and respectful learning environment where I felt safe asking questions, knowing they would be met with patience and clarity.
Richard facilitated the learning experience on Zoom extremely well. He provided a safe and inclusive learning environment. I appreciated his gentle way of ensuring that all participants were engaged and participating in the learning and discussions.
Suzanne was a good at ensuring that everyone had an opportunity to express their viewpoints or concerns.
Suzanne helped to keep the flow of the sessions going with breakout rooms and general time keeping. It was helpful to have another experienced supervisor in the room willing to share her experiences to help deepen our learning.
Suzanne was supportive, and consistently helpful throughout the course. Her organised and professional approach ensured that each session ran smoothly.
Suzanne was warm and approachable and shared her experiences as a supervisor which was always insightful and helpful.
Suzanne deserves great credit for keeping the show on the road! All the behind-the-scenes admin is vital for the smooth running of an online course.
