At ICPPD, we recognise supervision as a profession in its own right and an essential investment in personal and professional growth. Our Diploma in Supervision Across Professions – A Holistic Approach provides participants with the knowledge, skills and reflective practice to support others in their professional journeys.
This part-time, blended programme (110 hours) begins in November 2025 and is delivered over 7 weekends in Athlone, with additional online sessions to provide flexibility for learners. Accredited by the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP), the course equips participants with a deeper understanding of the intellectual, emotional, financial, and time commitments involved in supervision and why it is such a valuable resource across professions.
A key strength of the programme lies in our experienced facilitators, who bring a wealth of expertise and perspectives to the classroom:
- Anne Marie Lowry, MA – A qualified supervisor who combines academic rigour with practical insight.
- Michael Patterson, Director, Institute of Pastoral Supervision & Reflective Practice, MA – Brings extensive experience in pastoral supervision and reflective practice (BACP, APSE, SAI).
- Liz O’Driscoll, MA – Specialising in Supervisory Practice, MIACP, and an Accredited Supervisor.
- Tom Moran, MA Adv. Dip Supervision, MIACP, MSAI – An advanced practitioner with a depth of supervisory knowledge.
Together, these facilitators ensure learners receive guidance from seasoned professionals with diverse backgrounds, enriching the learning experience and preparing participants to apply supervision holistically across their fields.
Whether you are seeking to enhance your current role or to step into supervision as a new professional pathway, this diploma offers an invaluable opportunity to learn, reflect, and grow.
