About the Course

What’s inside

Become a qualified supervisor!

This course is developed in line with CPCAB learning outcomes to achieve a CPCAB accredited Level 6 Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision (TCSU-L6). Graduates will be ready to offer supervision across diverse settings, including agency environments and private practice.

Please note that our CPCAB courses include additional fees to cover CPCAB registration costs and require extra coursework to meet CPCAB assessment criteria. Our HACS-L6 Diploma offers the same high-quality content and learning experience but is more cost-effective and streamlined, as it is independently awarded by Headstrong Academy while maintaining the same Level 6 standard.

5. Use of Self: Developing self-awareness and managing the emotional impact of client work.
6. Theory, Research & Skills: Evaluating and applying supervision models and evidence.
