Supervised Counselling Practice Log
12 weeks · 0 milestones
Document supervised counselling practice sessions. Proof requires: (a) a log of at least 10 supervised sessions — each entry covering session duration, presenting issues (anonymised), therapeutic approach used, what went well, what was difficult, and supervisor feedback received; and (b) a qualified clinical supervisor's attestation confirming the sessions occurred under supervision and that the student demonstrated appropriate therapeutic boundaries and skills. Peer verification is NOT accepted for this outcome — qualified clinical supervisor attestation is required. The log must document actual supervised sessions, not role-plays with peers or self-directed practice.

Before conducting supervised counselling with clients, complete your programme's required personal therapy hours (if applicable) and attend a structured supervision orientation session run by a qualified clinical supervisor. Document: your personal therapy hours (if required by your training programme), the name and credentials of your clinical supervisor (including their professional registration — BACP, UKCP, BPS, or equivalent), the supervision model used (Hawkins and Shohet, Inskipp and Proctor, or equivalent), and how the supervisory relationship will be structured (frequency, format, focus). Submit this as an orientation record.
Proof required
Submit your supervision orientation record (1 page) countersigned by your clinical supervisor, confirming their credentials, supervision model, and your agreed supervision structure.
What gets checked
- Supervisor credentials include their professional registration number or body — 'experienced counsellor' is not sufficient.
- Supervision model is named — not just 'regular supervision' but which structured model governs the relationship.
- If personal therapy is required by your programme, the hours completed are documented.
