Overview

This supervision training course provides an in-depth exploration of a Jungian approach to clinical supervision, with a focus on exploring the key skills and dispositions necessary for effective supervision in a therapeutic or clinical setting. Participants will engage with challenging clinical conundrums, explore complex ethical issues, and refine their problem-solving and critical thinking abilities to become adept at this practice.

Drawing on both theoretical and practical aspects of supervision, the course invites participants to delve into the unique dynamics of the supervisory relationship, considering elements such as respect for diversity, identity, culture, spirituality and transference while also fostering a capacity for creativity and ethical decision-making in complex situations.

The training group will consist of no more than 15 participants.

Course Structure:

  • The taught component will run over four weekends – in March, June, September and November 2026.
  • The weekends are in person at the AJA premises in Camden, London NW1, beginning on Friday evening and continuing with Saturday seminars from 9.30am to 5pm and Sunday seminars until 1:00pm.
  • Supervision of supervision with an AJA supervisor will take place online, in groups with three participants over 90 minutes, for 30 weeks at weekly intervals across the duration of the course.

This course is designed for experienced therapists, and analysts with at least three years’ prior experience in therapeutic practice and ideally some experience as supervisors, who are looking to deepen their understanding of post-Jungian supervision methods. It is ideal for professionals interested in working with complex clinical cases, enhancing their supervisory practice, and engaging with a community of like-minded practitioners.

Assessment: 

  • Summative Assessment: Participants will be reviewed throughout the course based on their application of the course material to supervision situations. This feedback will be shared with participants after 10 weeks and 20 weeks by the supervisor for supervision group.
  • Uniquely, the learning group will work as a community of practice and contribute to their fellow colleagues’ progress throughout the course.
  • Portfolio Assessment: Participants will maintain a reflective portfolio documenting their learning, conundrums, and personal insights throughout the course. The portfolio will demonstrate a clinician’s ideas of their approach to supervision and its critique.
  • To pass, participants must attend at least 90% of both the taught sessions and the supervision of supervision groups and pass all additional components of the course. Completion of the course will offer a Certificate of Completion.
  • For successful completion of the course participants will write a 5000-word paper exploring an area of supervision. On completion of the course there will be a £500 prize for the therapist / analyst who writes an original paper on ‘New Vision and Supervision’. This award will be judged by a panel of supervisors and contributors to the original book ‘Vision and supervision: Jungian and post-Jungian Perspectives’ published in 2009, edited by Dr Dale Mathers.

 

By the end of the course, participants will have better developed their vision of supervision and have a deeper understanding of a post-Jungian approach. You will be better equipped to navigate the complexities of the supervisory relationship. You will leave with enhanced critical thinking skills, an increased capacity for ethical decision-making, and the ability to effectively handle complex clinical situations in a supervisory capacity. The course also aims to build a strong, supportive community of practitioners who can continue to share ideas and support one another in their ongoing development
