Bespoke Supervision Courses for  helping, counselling and health care practitioners

Led by Sheila Ryan Bsc. D.S.Hom. FSHom  Dip. Couns. Dip. Sup. EAS accredited supervisor and supervision teacher.

Sea Change supervisions can make a lasting difference to your life in practice. Unlike most courses, they are  tailor made to your needs.  Sea Change supervisions go for shift. We don’t just talk about it, we do it!

The Sea Change approach is to work in small groups. This allows space and time for real practice, play, experiment, reflection, and most importantly, transformational learning, that is learning that makes a lasting difference.

We take a  mindful approach which strengthens your practice and helps provide  the transformational learning.

A unique 4 Kingdom review of your life in practice can help restore purpose and make changes in line with your core values.

Each course works as a supervision for you, in your context, as well as an education, practice and refresher in giving and receiving professional supervision.

An important part of the Sea Change experience is to be on this wild and rocky island. It can literally help restore us to our  senses. What is of elemental value in practice can surface more readily when viewed from the perspective of  ’this wee dot of an island in the blue’ as one course participant puts it. ‘It’s like walking off the edge of your world and looking back, and seeing how it is.’

Come with your own team, student or peer group or join in with others.

Courses also at your own place of work by arrangement

Courses for supervising professional teams

A Sea Change Certificate in Supervision

Two three day courses for professionals  together make a Sea Change Certificate in Professional Supervision.

The  courses can be taken individually. To achieve a Sea Change Certificate, first take Basic Kit and then Creative Approaches. Each course is self, peer and facilitator assessed using shared criteria.

Supervision Basic Kit.

A hands on workshop in how to use your professional skills and capacities to be both an effective peer supervisor, and to make the most of your own supervision.

This course is useful to refresh and update your supervision practice. It proves especially useful at times of transition and mid life practice review. It includes  basic kit for beginner peer supervisors. ( now all you need is practice)

24 hours over 3 days. £320 per person includes lunches and  handbook ‘Vital Practice’.

3 Day Basic Kit: Wednesday 4th to Friday 6th May. Booking Now.

This course, working as a facilitated peer  practice and learning, takes you through the role, tasks, relationships, basic maps, models and ethics of supervision.

A characteristically mindful approach is taken.

Active listening, reflection and feedback are the core skills practised  and refreshed within a supervisory matrix. Inquiry and intervention at different levels and in different ways, to meet individual learning needs, are explored and mapped.

Basic Kit Certificate is awarded on completion of reflective self assessment, peer and facilitator feedback using shared criteria.

Creative Supervision.

24 hours over 3 days.  £375 inclusive lunch and all materials.

Co-facilitated with Sarah Gilpin Sculptor  and arts facilitator

This course invites you to engage more deeply in a four  kingdom and element review of your practice through art-play in this wild and worked land and sea scape. This can be deeply restorative and stimulating.  Helpful in transitions, in shifting stuck cases, in maintaining wellbeing, and great fun too. This is art- play and re – creation rather than art work.  No experience or facility in art or writing is required. This is self supervision as well as aquiring new skills for your practice.

We will be listening to, making and revising fire, air, water and stone stories that breathe meaning into our lives in practice. We will be tracing our elemental stories through the  kingdoms of plant, mineral, animal and the imponderables.  We will be  moving and mark making in the land scape, on paper and in stone.  We will be walking, sitting, looking and dreaming up our own sense of place in our lives and work from the  fragments, tracings, marks and stories we discover here.

The Certificate in Creative Supervision is awarded on completion of self, peer and facilitators reflective assessments using shared criteria.

The complete Sea Change Certificate in Supervision is awarded on completion of both courses and assessments.

Student Supervision Master Class

The School of Homeopathy together with Sea Change invites you to a master class in clinical supervision.
The School is actively looking for new Supervisors to join the School supervision network. With this accredited training, homeopaths registered in practice for 3 years can join the recommended network and be listed on the School website. Once on the Network you are also invited to a free annual Supervision training day at the School and can use the network for peer support and exchange.

This certified CPD course (14 hours) equips you to use a homeopathic and mindful approach in supervising students. You can apply this to self and peer supervision too. The workshop is open to current as well as potential Network members. It runs as a facilitated peer supervision and so refreshes and updates as well as introduces new members.

This Dynamic Supervision, including a 4 Kingdom review and story revision can help to grow your own practice as well as support others.

Led by Sheila Ryan (FSHom, Dip Sup, EAS) an accredited and experienced supervision teacher and homeopath. Sheila has been Clinical Principal at the School, Society of Homeopaths registration supervisor and successfully taught this Dynamic Supervision in the UK, in Europe, in the USA and Ghana.
