“Don’t be silly, I’m not a real unicorn, I’m pretending to be a unicorn!”

This quote from a five-year old child captures the way that play enables us to stand back and explore different realities.
Creative supervision uses play to facilitate a space which opens our hearts and minds.
In clinical supervision the supervisee tunes into their client to see them from different perspectives.
The course will integrate learning and supervision models with creative arts such as sandplay, writing, art, music, puppets, and role-play.
You will practice applying models whilst playing with a flow of creative media. For example, we will explore client-supervisee scenarios with sandplay, then use writing and role-play.
You will be taught the learning and supervision approaches you need.

“Emma created a safe environment to practice and give things a go – probably the first time in a group environment that it felt free of judgement. It always felt safe to express my vulnerability, my not knowing and feel confident to give something a try.

I enjoyed the use of creative methods, particularly the line colour and shape as it works well online. Especially the collegiate way it was done with no death by PowerPoint!”
