Simon Millar – Counselling Supervisor

I offer Clinical Supervision to students and qualified counsellors as a Supervisor in training. I have undertaken extensive training in face-to-face, online and telephone counselling, and also the Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision. Both of these qualifications were with Counselling Tutor, a leading UK counselling training organisation. I offer Supervision to counsellors working face to face, online, and on the phone.

This course is Quality Checked by NCPS and meets the requirements of the BACP curriculum for Counselling Supervision training.

As part of the certification process I have to deliver over 20 hours of supervision. In order to make this as available as widely as possible, this is being offered free of charge for 6 months and at a reduced rate for the next six months to the first 5 supervisees who sign up to work with me. 

If you are interested, please give me a call or message and we can talk about what you need and what I can provide.

About my Clinical Supervision training

The Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision course is taught, observed and assessed at the equivalent of level 6 and is designed to meet the Level 6 criteria, as outlined by The Framework for Higher Education Qualifications of UK Degree-Awarding Bodies in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland (FHEQ) and The Framework for Qualifications of Higher Education Institutions in Scotland (FQHEIS).

This course’s credibility is further strengthened by its learning outcomes and assessments being aligned with the supervision training curriculum of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). This ensures that the course provides a comprehensive and advanced understanding of clinical supervision in theory and practice at a level equivalent to Level 6 (or Level 7 in Scotland).

The curriculum and assessment require students to understand and apply sophisticated supervision theories, such as the Integrated Development Model and Shohet and Hawkins’ Seven-Eyed Model, both theoretically and in practice.

This approach aligns with the expectations for advanced knowledge and the ability to critically evaluate information at this level. Institutions, including ours, may refer to their courses as having ‘Level 6 equivalence’ to indicate a standard of quality and depth.

This practice is akin to that of other awarding bodies (such as Centra and CPCAB), who develop tailor-made qualifications for training providers that meet specific professional standards, even if they remain unregulated by Ofqual.

Our commitment is to provide training that aligns with these rigorous standards, offering you a comprehensive and robust learning experience; this training has been designed to match the Level 6 descriptors set by the FHEQ/FQHEIS.”
