Creating Transformative Relationships in Supervision - a course for Supervisors

9th December
ON ZOOM
9.30 am to 3.30 pm
£85


We both believe that the supervisory relationship is fundamental to an effective supervision experience and for us to aid our supervisees in their development. As supervisors and lovers of CPD we wanted to create a space where supervisors could come together to explore concepts and ideas to help us improve the supervision we offer and to develop transformative relationships with our supervisees.

This will be our 5th course for supervisors. We did the first 3 in the room and then we tried one on Zoom and do you know what – it was great! Every time we’ve run a supervisor’s course whether in the room or on zoom it has been a fabulous experience… characterised by warmth, sharing, insights and creativity.

In this workshop we will specifically look at:

  • Dual relationships – is it a problem? We’ll consider from our perspective and our supervisees. We’ll look at the complexity of dual relationships and when they may be OK and how to manage them.
  • Utilising therapeutic writing in supervision. This will be experiential as we’ll guide you through an activity and you’ll see for yourself how it gets to the unconscious.
  • Space for sharing. This will be a small group and we facilitate in a way which is inclusive and nurturing of each other & our experience.

    This workshop will give supervisors time to think and reflect on their relationships with supervisees and the process of supervision. It is also a great place to network with other supervisors and share your experiences in a friendly environment. This will be an experiential course but based on well understood & researched theories of supervision.

    The Unwanted Legacy - Generational Trauma

    2025 - 16th June 2025
    9.30 - 3.30
    £85
    On zoom


    We know from our training that the roots of our adult selves go right back to our first experiences, as well as being influenced by our genetic inheritance from our parents. But what if both of these ‘nature and nurture’ influences were even more nuanced?

    Scientists in the emerging field of epigenetics have discovered the mechanism that allows lived experience and acquired knowledge to be passed down the generations. This means that an individual’s life experience doesn’t die with them but endures in genetic form.

    What this means for therapy is that although how our parents treated us – and whether our needs were met is important – that the source of our client’s feelings of pain may also lie within the stories of their parents and grandparents rather than in their own. Fragments of life experience, memories and body sensations can live on as if reaching out from the past to try and find resolution in the present.

    In this workshop we will weave together the groundbreaking research with therapeutic exercises, and clinical examples to give you a different way of approaching trauma work.

    Specifically, we will:

  • Explore recent developments in the fields of biology, neuroscience, epigenetics and developmental psychology – all of which now suggest that we need to look back at least 3 generations to understand the mechanism behind patterns of trauma and suffering that repeat.
  • Look at why this understanding may be so profound for our clients, particularly if their feelings don’t seem to make sense. For some it may be the influence of a very personal family trauma that played out for their grandmothers, for others it may be the pervasive influence of a more global tragedy that impacted their mother before they were born.
  • Look at how a ‘family consciousness’ or ‘unconscious loyalties’ may be influencing our clients now.
  • Learn how to identify unique patterns of inherited family trauma using questions, genograms and family trees
  • Take a more nuanced look at the impact of attachment in the light of this new knowledge and identify ways of reparenting the inner child
  • Discuss other practical ways of working with clients to bring new insight and relief, and in particular to try and help clients break the cycle of transgenerational trauma.


  • Cancellation policy

    Fees are non-refundable. However, if you cancel 4 weeks or more prior to a course you can transfer your booking to another of our courses. Whilst we fully appreciate that life often happens last minute, we need time to be able to try and sell your space to another delegate, so we cannot simply transfer you to another course. If you cancel late we do offer you the option to re-book another course within the next 12 months at half price.

    Running training courses is administratively hard work. We know that for most training organisations if you cancel you simply lose your fee completely, and many also charge a fee for amending bookings. We take the view that our policy is the fairest way of doing things, and whilst we realise not everyone will agree with us we have to have a plan & policy in place, which we hope people will understand and accept.
