The APAC Post Qualifying Certificate in Clinical Supervision aims to help satisfy the growing demand for Play Therapy. This is rapidly growing due to recognition by the government and others that only by looking after the emotional needs of children can they achieve their potential. There are now several recognised training courses producing Play and Creative Art Therapists who require clinical supervision. However, there is a shortage of suitably trained Supervisors.
