“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.

 

On this creative counselling supervision course, you will learn new ways of working with a client and develop confidence in the supervisory relationship.

Benefits of this course:

The course integrates play and creativity with learning and supervision models

It has been informed by Emma’s ongoing PhD research, as well as more than 17 years of clinical supervision experience.

The modules incorporate BACP competencies for supervision training

 

The course will  integrate learning and supervision models with creative media such as sandplay, writing, art, music, puppets, and role-play. We 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. We will teach you the learning and supervision approaches you need.

Elementing. First things first. Co-creating an open learning space. We will consider and thus practise co-contracting with agreed learning aims, identifying and working with relational dynamics, learning styles and learning models. We will then look at developmental and process models of supervision as well as application of interpersonal neurobiology concepts.

Allowing the flow of creativity. Firstly, starting to practise creative approaches within supervision and learning models. Identifying and working with difference and light and shadow in relational dynamics. We will therefore play with applying creative approaches. We will also explore concepts and experience relating to power and difference and how this can play out and be worked within supervision and practice.
