A list of supervisors can be found on the PTUK/PTI Supervisors Register on the PTUK website. The supervisor will be required to send a report detailing four supervisory sessions to confirm that these meetings have taken place, and they consider the play therapist to be fit to practice with children and young people in play therapy. Both the supervision sessions and the report will be at the play therapist’s expense. Once these sessions have been completed, members may choose to use a different supervisor, as long as they are a current member/ supervisor with PTUK/PTI. |
