Supervisors' Credentials 

On BABCP Accredited CBT training courses - all your supervision will be provided by CBT therapists accredited with us as this is a requirement for course accreditation. 

On non-accredited courses and after training – to meet Accreditation and Reaccreditation criteria, your supervisor should be a BABCP accredited therapist. In exceptional circumstances, you can be supervised by a therapist who meets all the following criteria -

• qualified in CBT to at least postgraduate level or who has an international qualification and accreditation in CBT, such as EABCT (European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies) accreditation
• currently practicing CBT or have been granted a Leave of Absence from BABCP Accreditation 
  
• be providing Cognitive and/or Behavioural therapies as their main (or one of their main) therapeutic models in clinical practice 
• receiving specifically CBT supervision and ongoing CBT CPD
• have adequate experience of working with the client group, presentations and cognitive/behavioural approaches of the cases brought to supervision 
• you should be confident that they are familiar with and act in accordance with our Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.  
• accreditors will expect that they have CBT training and experience which would meet our Minimum Training Standards 
  

Non-accredited supervisors will be asked to write a paragraph describing their CBT credentials on your Supervisor's Report.   

If your supervisor does not meet our criteria, your practice whilst under their supervision cannot be included for the purposes of accreditation or reaccreditation. 

BABCP Supervisor Accreditation – is a voluntary and additional accreditation for experienced accredited members. It allows them to demonstrate their supervisory expertise and that they meet our standards for supervisory training and supervision. It is not a requirement for your supervisor to hold this. 

You can find the full list of accredited supervisors on the CBT Register. Select “CBT Supervisors” from the dropdown menu and leave the name or membership number field blank.
