Clinical Supervision & Training Programme for Early-Career Therapists

Supervision Series 2: Continuing the Journey Together

The first few years of therapeutic practice can be exciting, meaningful, and deeply challenging.

At Talking Distance, we believe that becoming a therapist is not just about learning techniques. It is about developing clinical confidence, reflective practice, and a strong therapeutic identity.

Our Clinical Supervision & Training Programme is designed specifically for therapists, counsellors, and psychologists in the first 0–3 years of practice. Through teaching sessions, supervision, reflection, and experiential learning, participants gain practical tools and professional support for real-world therapeutic work.

Programme Structure

This is a blended training and supervision programme designed to help early-career therapists move from theory to practice.

Each module begins with a group training session, followed by individual supervision related to that topic. The time between training and supervision allows participants to engage with the concepts, notice how they appear in their clinical work, and bring real questions, challenges, and reflections into supervision.

Held once every two weeks in a group format.

Each session includes:

Conceptual learning
Clinical discussion
Experiential exercises
Role-play activities
Practical application

30-Minute Individual Supervision

Each participant will receive four individual supervision sessions across the programme.

Supervision is an opportunity to bring:

Client work
Clinical dilemmas
Reflections
Questions related to the training topic

Participants will receive guidance, feedback, and support in applying concepts directly to their therapeutic practice.

Please submit a brief write-up at least 48 hours before your supervision slot outlining the topic, client work, or questions you would like to discuss.
