Play Therapy Supervision Training Courses

There is a great shortage of trained Play Therapy Supervisors throughout the world.

In some cases practitioners of therapeutic play and play therapy have to use clinical supervisors from related fields such as counselling, the creative arts therapies or experienced practitioners. This situation is undesirable. Play Therapy Supervisors should have:

  • Play therapy training and practice experience
  • Training in clinical supervision methods and competencies
