dc.description.abstractDespite the critical role played by counsellor supervision in the counsellors’ professional and personal growth of counsellors many studies report low utilization of supervision services. Several studies have attempted to determine the cause of low utilization of counsellor supervision. This study sought to determine selected factors related to utilization of counselor supervision among counsellors registered with Kenya Counselors and Psychologist Association (KCPA). The study employed a correlational research design. The target population was 2561 counselling professionals registered with KCPA. Multistage sampling including stratified, proportionate and simple random sampling was used to obtain a sample of 139 counsellors and 55 counsellor supervisors who took part in the study. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data. The study revealed that female counselors had higher levels of utilization than male counselors however relationship was not statistically significant ( χ2 (1) = 5.141, p > 0.05). The study found a statistically significant positive correlation between work experience and utilization of counselors supervision (rs(174) = .173, p <.05). It also study also established a positive relationship between counselors’ attitude and utilization of counselor supervision (r (174) = .268, p<0.05). A statistically significant positive relationship between counselor-supervisor relationship and utilization of counselor supervision (rs (174) = 0.156, p>0.05) was also observed. the study recommended that professional bodies should offer counsellor supervision services as part of the professional development programs for counsellors. It should also sensitize the members on the critical need for counsellor supervision as a requirement for professional and personal growth. As well counsellor supervisors should be trained on the skills to nurture and maintain a professional relationship with their supervisees as a step towards enhancing the utilization of counsellor supervision services.en_US
