Testimonials from 2020 and 2022 students
“Training to become a supervisor with Persona was absolutely the right decision for me. The theory was broken down into easy digestible chunks, interwoven with strands of creative experiential learning and peer supervision. The level of knowledge, skills and experience the trainers have was evident in their style and approach. For me, this was a very held, nurtured and safe experience and a first-hand example of the Core Conditions live in Action. Having such a positive experience has been fundamental in helping me discover the type of supervisor I am striving to become” Michelle 2022
“I am delighted to have stumbled across this course which brings a renewed faith in what can happen over a short, condensed period when the emergent conditions are conducive.” Kerry 2022
“This course is fantastic preparation for becoming a person-centred clinical supervisor. It’s a well thought-out, well-structured, robust course. The person-centred focus of the course really suited me personally and professionally. The tutors were supportive, and suitably challenging. I would recommend this Certificate course for anyone wishing to develop their clinical supervision skills.” Anon 2020
“The Persona Supervision course was ideal for me. Clearly set out over several weekends over several months meant I had plenty time to complete any course work whilst also having sufficient time to learn and practice the material. The tutors are knowledgeable, approachable and really engaged in the course too which gave me a real feeling of equality rather than traditional tutor/ student dynamic. “ Laura 2020
“After working as a counsellor for a number of years moving towards becoming a supervisor felt the natural next step. The course was absolutely the container needed for helping me explore and establish myself as a supervisor. The facilitation style, content, structure, approach and group was a rich and dynamic process. There was a high level of relational depth (even when we moved online) which also unexpectedly and positively impacted on my counselling practice. Even if if I hadn’t gone on to work as a supervisor I would have come away with a valuable and worthwhile experience.” Emma 2020
