Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the functions of
counsellor supervision and level of burnout among VCT counsellors in selected counties in
Kenya. An expost facto correlational research design was adopted for the study. The
population of the study consisted of 1050 VCT counsellors out of which a sample of 175
counsellors was selected using purposive, proportionate and simple random sampling.
Data was collected using a questionnaire and was analysed using descriptive statistics
namely frequencies and percentages and inferential statistics including the Chi- square and
Factor Analysis. Findings of the study indicated that a statically significant relationship
existed between education, supportive and administrative functions of counsellor
supervision and level of burnout among the VCT counsellors in the selected counties in
Kenya. It was recommended that counsellor supervisors should incorporate all functions
of counsellor supervision in their practice including educational, support and
administrative functions
