You should be provide at least 20 hours of CBT supervision per year. This can be supervision of qualified or trainee CBT therapists but not wellbeing practitioners (PWPs, CWPs, EMHPs) or EBPT therapists. We recommend you record this as you go along on the Provision of Supervision Log [Word].
Accredited supervisors should be receiving appropriate levels of supervision for your supervisory practice – equivalent to five per cent of your supervisory caseload or one hour per month, from qualified CBT therapists.
The choice of person offering supervision or support of your current CBT supervisory practice is yours, however, accreditors will wish to see evidence of the supervisor’s competence to offer supervision or support.
Some of your supervisory supervision or support might may be from a psychotherapist who doesn’t practice CBT. However, you need to show how your arrangements are appropriate to support your CBT supervisory practice. At least some of your supervisory supervision or support should be from a qualified CBT therapist, and the Supervisory Reference should be from a qualified CBT therapist.
You must complete one piece of CBT supervisory CPD every year. We suggest you fill our the Supervisory Reflective Statement [Word] soon after the activity and you should keep other evidence of the activity.
You may also use this CPD towards your five required CPD activities for your Reaccreditation as a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, however it should be counted as your one permitted non-CBT activity.
Details for the previous year will be required at Audit.
The activities need to be specifically related to CBT supervision.
Acceptable Supervisory CPD activities include -
Giving supervision, and having Supervisory Supervision don't count as supervisory CPD.
