Supervision of CBT Practice – CBT Therapist

Whatever experience you have as a CBT Therapist, if you are looking for a Clinical Supervisor to support and guide you in your CBT Practice, then ACT Counselling Services have a range of experienced Supervisors to meet with your requirements. Our Clinical Supervisors can facilitate Group Supervision or Individual Supervision of Student, Qualified and Accredited CBT Therapists.

Informed and guided by the BABCP Guidelines

Supervision of CBT Practice is informed and guided by the BABCP Guidelines for best practice in Clinical Supervision of CBT. A robust and collaborative Supervision Contract will be agreed with your Supervisor. This will determine the frequency, duration, focus of Supervision as well as the extensive methodology that can be used by your Clinical Supervisor. In line with BABCP Accreditation and best practice requirements our Clinical Supervisors are experienced in offering feedback to video or audio recordings that you bring using the CTS-R.

The functions of a supervisor

We consider the function of Clinical Supervision to be threefold. Firstly ‘Accountability,’ your Supervisor appreciates that you are accountable to somebody in relation to your CBT Practice. This would usually be an organisation or course provider. The Supervisor must ensure that they have an understanding of all of the relevant policies, procedures, protocols and codes to help you follow then and keep you safe. This is very often overlooked in Clinical Supervision. The second function is ‘Developmental,’ it is important that the Supervision offered is informed by your experience as CBT Therapist. So for example, the type of Supervision offered to a Student of newly qualified Therapist will be different to that offered to an experienced, Accredited CBT Therapist. The third function is ‘Support,’ we are in a business that triggers Counter-Transference and feelings within the Supervisee. It is important that a strong Supervisory Alliance exists within which these crucial issues may be addressed.

'I have recently completed the ACT Pg Level Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Groupwork.

I would give my highest recommendation for this course. It was probably one of the most interesting and rewarding experiences of my life. I felt I was a member of this community from day one, supported step by step even after the end of the course. It was a rich, life-changing, learning experience. I met wonderful people, who became my friends. Grateful.

I feel very lucky to have won the place on this course. I have found I really enjoyed the modules and I am now thinking of pursuing further studies in counselling in the future. All the lecturers were very knowledgeable and supportive throughout. The content was varied and informative. The course being online was not at all an issue for me and something I enjoyed. I already have recommended the course to others! Thanks for this opportunity COSCA Thursday online student September 2023
