CASCADESupervision Training is residential and offers a professional qualification. The course was initially set up in the 1980s by Francesca Inskipp and Brigid Proctor who wrote the books on which the course is based, see: CASCADE PUBLICATIONS . Since 1994 has been facilitated by a team of experts in the field of counselling, psychotherapy and supervision. The CASCADE Diploma covers both Individual and Group Supervision and is for Counsellors, Psychotherapists and those in related professions and is offered at three different venues see Training courses and Fees.

CASCADE Supervision Training has an integrative basis and we recruit counsellors and other participants from a variety of theoretical backgrounds (humanistic, existential, systemic, psychodynamic, transpersonal, person centred, cognitive behavioural etc.)
The CASCADE tutors also offer a wide knowledge and practice of various theoretical orientations and are all BACP and/or UKCP accredited/registered see Tutor Team. The course is designed to facilitate participants to learn, establish and identify their skills as a supervisor in their own professional field whether it be counselling and psychotherapy, arts & drama therapy, social work, coaching, homeopathy, addiction work etc.
Unlike most courses we are able to offer a high ratio of student - tutor contact and aim FOUR TUTORS to 24 students or THREE TUTORS for 18-20 students throughout the course life. Given this high tutor/student ratio we are significantly cheaper compared to other courses. Please also see Frequently Asked Questions which answers common questions people have.
