Diploma in Clinical Supervision

Here’s what some of our Counselling and Clinical Supervision students have said

I have had a good experience at The Awareness Centre as a student for the last two years and in placement with the Low Cost Counselling Service for the last year. What started on a bit of a hope and prayer has now come to pass and I am finishing next week full of optimism and excitement. There were some bumpy moments but TAC sorted them all out and the teaching I have had has been in the main really impressive. A transformative two years on lots of levels – would recommend training here.

I am very grateful to Helen Sutton for the way she facilitated the diploma in clinical supervision course. I found Helen to be extremely attentive to everyone in the room. She was careful to give space to those who weren’t always heard without shutting anyone else down. I appreciated her clarity around boundaries and her courage to stand by them when appropriate. I found Helen approachable and always willing to be open and authentic. I have learnt a great deal from the course content but I’d say my greatest learning has been gained through experiencing Helen as my tutor. Thank you!

I really valued the quality and variety of teaching at TAC, each of our tutors brought a combination of theoretical insight and practical experience to support our learning.

I am truly blessed to have found TAC and I couldn’t have prayed for a better tutor than Bonny to impart so much knowledge on the moralities of counselling to me with such a positive and enlightening impact. I so appreciate her teaching style in presenting such sensitive subjects[]. I also appreciate the very approachable, patient, and helpful administrative staff who have always made me feel welcome.

Its amazing how much my eyes have been opened and the encouragement for me, through the exercises and role plays, to look at myself and how I perceive others. We’ve only covered the first module and I am so grateful for how it’s been structured so far, from Michaela’s intro through to recap. This course is unlocking so much potential I’d forgotten/hadn’t realised I had, which makes me both nervous and excited for Module 2. For me, this course (so far), does what it says on the tin. I’m so happy for this discovery and have already started to spread the word to encourage others onto this specific counselling course.

This is possibly the best investment I have made in my education/personal development to-date and I look forward to each training day with unexpected excitement.

I found this training course to be supportive and informative, and the pace of learning suited me. For me, there was a good balance between the course’s academic learning and experiential aspects and I felt I grew as a person throughout the course.

A truly insightful, engaging and supportive course. The facilitator Helen and visiting lecturers have all been amazing in sharing their experiences for enhanced learning. There’s a real feeling of support within the group and within the smaller practice sessions that creates such a positive learning environment. Thank you.

Bonny is amazing. I would happily do the foundation course all over again just to have the opportunity to continue to learn from her. She inspires me to one day, hopefully become an amazing therapist myself. She ignites the passion I have for this profession within me when she shares her own experiences and how much she loves what she does. We can all feel the love and care emanating from her in the room and she really holds the space so incredibly well.

I am delighted to share my positive experience with The Awareness Centre’s Level 6 supervision course. From the onset, I have been thoroughly impressed with the course content, the professionalism of the tutors, and the overall learning environment.The tutors leading the Level 6 supervision course are knowledgeable and professional. Their expertise adds immense value to the learning experience, providing insights and practical guidance that enhance the course material. I appreciate their commitment to fostering an environment that encourages active participation and meaningful discussions.The course material itself is rich in information, offering a comprehensive understanding of supervision at a Level 6 standard. The content is thoughtfully curated, and I find it both stimulating and applicable to my professional development. The delivery of the course is well-structured, allowing for a seamless learning process.One aspect of the course that has significantly contributed to my growth is the interactive and engaging learning environment. The group dynamics, coupled with the open communication facilitated by the tutors, have created an atmosphere conducive to the best learning outcomes. I am genuinely looking forward to completing the course and applying my enhanced skills in my practice.Thank you to The Awareness Centre for providing a platform that truly facilitates growth and learning in the field of supervision.

I am really enjoying the course, it has added a wealth of knowledge and given me a system by which I can operate as a supervisor. I enjoy the small group discussions as well as the big group contribution. I feel welcomed and respected and I feel I am given opportunity to participate and give feedback. I really enjoyed the diversity weekend and learnt a lot of ground skills which i have already applied in my managerial position.
