TOTAL PERFORMANCE BASES SUPERVISED EXPERIENCE TRAINING PROGRAMME

SPORT PSYCHOLOGY TRAINING/SUPERVISED EXPERIENCE

Total Performance offers a specialised Humanistic GESTALT framework over three years to gain BASES Supervised Experience and BASES Psychology Support Accreditation. The course programme has been developed so there is a gradual increase in awareness and development of the practitioner/trainee sport psychologist over three years and concomitant levels of being an effective and proficient sport psychologist. Sport Psychology trainee’s are encouraged to gain as much experience in the applied field as possible to learn experientially with mentoring and supervisor monitoring and assistance.

The Supervised Experience programme run by Total Performance offers a multi method approach covering:

  • Humanistic counselling techniques and approaches/Person Centred therapy/PCT;

  • Gestalt approaches/counselling techniques/frameworks;

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT);

  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Social psychology.

The underlying framework of Gestalt /Humanistic based approaches is a necessary part of the supervised experienced programme and process of self-development and becoming an effective practitioner and sport psychologist, is the requirement for self-development and understanding the ‘self ‘ as a practitioner *. Thus, we at Total Performance state that a pre-requisite to be an accredited Sport Psychologist, is completing a recognised Humanistic counselling course/and or Gestalt counselling course. The programme leaders offer suggestions and information regarding which counselling course would be best suited for each individual.

How?
The programme is designed so that Supervised Experience students are provided with EIGHT-day workshops (September –May excluding December). In addition, students receive individual coaching and guidance/ one-to-one tuition/coaching.

The Course Programme Leaders
There are TWO course leaders as well as guest speakers and presenters who run the programme. The course leaders include James Beale, Accredited by the British Association of Sport And Exercise Sciences (BASES) and an Accredited Sport and Exercise psychologist and BOA Registered (See company biographies).
