CPCAB Level 6 – Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision Course
Our level 6 course
Are you an experienced counsellor looking to take on a supervisory role and help others become better, more effective counsellors?
If your answer is yes, our level 6 course is perfect for you!
Supervisors play a key role in improving counselling standards and driving development across the industry. On this CPCAB course, you’ll learn everything needed to be a safe and effective counselling supervisor, including how to perform a thorough assessment of those you supervise.
And not only will you be able to help improve the quality of counselling being provided, but you can also expect a sizeable increase in your earning potential, as well as increased responsibility and respect from your fellow counsellors.
At Connect, we believe that counselling is best learned through doing and not through boring lectures and PowerPoint presentations!
Therefore, just like our other courses, our level 6 course is practical in nature, using exercises and discussions to aid learning, encouraging you to practice your skills as you progress. This ‘experiential’ learning is vital if you are to progress into a role as a practising counselling supervisor.
Our experienced tutors are committed to supporting you throughout the course, providing guidance and assistance at every step.
So, if you’re looking to become a counselling supervisor, and want the best advice and training available, our level 6 course provides the ideal course for you.
“Their course was well structured. This was with a workbook that you could read and update at your own pace. This was structured with the lessons for the week, so there was plenty of time to absorb the information and be prepared for the upcoming sessions.
The tutor, in addition to being professional and kind, was a pillar of support throughout the course. Their constant availability via email provided a safety net, ensuring that no question or concern was left unaddressed. This support was a constant source of reassurance, boosting my confidence in the learning process.
Assignments were not just given, but given with ample time for preparation. This allowed for a relaxed and controlled approach to the tasks, ensuring that you could give your best without feeling rushed.
Astranti provides a website with lots of structured information to access, and there are also free seminars on different topics. I would say getting involved. It enhances your learning and getting to meet new like-minded people.
I would highly recommend this course”
“There was so much communication, and the systems worked well. Overall a very smooth and easy course to take part in, with excellent teaching, support, qualifications and framework. Being able to do a fast track course also meant I did a course I likely wouldn’t have done in it’s usual format, which has boosted and fast tracked my career.”

More about our course content…
Equip your supervisees with the tools and confidence they need to thrive in their counselling roles. Cultivate a deep understanding of the various stages and dynamics of effective supervision, ensuring your approach is both supportive and empowering.

Address issues of diversity and inclusion in supervision by recognising and addressing the diverse needs and backgrounds of your supervisees. Develop strategies to support them in managing challenging emotions and maintaining professional standards, creating a safe and inclusive environment for all.
Handle sensitive issues with care, including working with suicide. Equip yourself with the knowledge and skills to navigate these difficult topics, ensuring your supervisees are well-prepared and supported in their professional journey.

How you’ll earn your qualification
The great thing about undertaking a CPCAB course is that it’s recognised nationally by the BACP and focused on helping you become the best counsellor you can be!
To apply for this course, students must have at least achieved their Level 4 CPCAB Diploma or equivalent. We also strongly advise that you complete level 5 beforehand too, but this is not mandatory.
To pass the course, you have to prove competence in a variety of key supervisory skills. The tutor will gain evidence through observing you demonstrating knowledge and skills as you undertake exercises and practice supervision sessions. During the course, you will complete regular exploration of your learning, undertake a self-review of your learning, write assignments and do a case presentation.
You will also need to provide records of peer feedback and a report from your supervisors.
You will also need to complete 15 hours of supervision practice either in independent practice or in the role of supervisor in an agency setting, as well as undertaking a minimum of 5 hours of supervisory supervision during the course.
At the end of the course, you will need to complete a case review, which will then be assessed by CPCAB.
Once you have passed the assessment you will obtain your certificate from CPCAB.
Our team of experienced tutors knows what it takes to make it as a counsellor. After all, they’re all qualified counsellors themselves and continue to be trained regularly in our tutor development programme! Head to our tutor page to meet the level 6 tutors for your course.
