From Therapist to Supervisor: On Becoming a Supervisor with Dr Judy Leung [Sydney]

from therapist to supervisorSupervision is increasingly understood as a separate discipline with its own skills set and knowledge, in contrast to counselling and psychotherapy. Many professions now require their supervisors to undergo formal supervisor training.

PACFA, the peak body for counsellors and psychotherapists, has specific requirements for accreditation of its supervisors. To this end, this supervisor-training course has been designed to meet these requirements.

These modules are designed to provide an intimate tutorial style of learning and number of participants is therefore limited. They are suitable for health care professionals such as counsellors, psychotherapists, nurses, social workers, and psychologists.

The three modules together will fulfil 39 hours of supervision training as required by PACFA and they need to be taken sequentially if you are applying for PACFA accreditation. These modules can be taken independently if you are not applying for PACFA accreditation.  A certificate will be issued for each module with a certificate of completion awarded upon completion of the whole training course.

To be eligible for these training modules you will need to have a minimum of 5 years of clinical work experience in the area of counselling and or psychotherapy post qualification.

Attract Clients with Speaking (How to Turn Audience Members Into Clients) [Online Training]

Did you know that speaking in your community can be easier and more profitable than all your other marketing?
 
Speaking in your community is a powerful form of marketing because:
  • Speaking uses the interpersonal skills you use every day.
  • Speaking allows you to connect face-to face.
  • Speaking builds your credibility in your community.
  • Speaking can be a very efficient use of your marketing time.
  • Speaking connects you with potential referral sources. 

International therapist coach Casey Truffo has just released a powerful home-study course to teach you how to move from a frustrated, confused, or nervous speaker to a confident, organised, and easy presenter.

Speaking can be fun (and profitable!) when:

  • you have a formula that you can employ for almost any event
  • you prepare less content and have more interaction with your audience
  • you reframe speaking as ‘connecting with people who need you'
  • you have a way to manage the inevitable nerves in a way that endears you to the audience
  • you have an easy-to-follow system for converting a percentage of those audience members into paying clients.
