Course Overview 2026
Introduction
An integrative, transpersonal HIPC and UKCP approved part-time supervision training offered over six weekends with two standalone Fridays in 2026.
The course will guide trainee supervisors through the transition from therapist to supervisor with key transpersonal and integrative teachings as well as live supervision practice opportunities along the way. The first year will involve weekend teachings and the beginning of your practicum placement work incorporating both individuals and group supervision experience. Live supervision practice sessions will be offered in an open and transpersonal setting facilitated by expert teachers.
In the second year, you will finalise your placement hours and submit a written essay to encapsulate your learning and to conclude the diploma.
Upon successful completion of the taught elements and placement hours and after two years as a Trainee Recognised Supervisor (TRS), you will have the option to transition to becoming a CCPE/UKCP Recognised Supervisor (RS), and will retain approved status with both CCPE and UKCP via the respective directories.
For BACP and other regulatory body trainees, the HIPC/UKCP approved Diploma in Supervision offers extensive recognition, ensuring that the training standards are transferable to a variety of settings, including charities and workplaces such as the NHS. This diploma provides a comprehensive foundation that is both relevant and applicable, allowing graduates to effectively apply their skills across diverse professional environments.

- To facilitate a deeper inquiry into the participants’ own spiritual and personal unfoldment and enhance their knowledge of the transpersonal integrative perspective.
