If you’re a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), a psychotherapy student, or an RP working toward independent practice, one of the first questions you’ll ask is: how many clinical supervision hours do I actually need? This free calculator gives you a clear answer based on CRPO’s current requirements.
Tell us where you are in your CRPO journey and how many hours you’ve completed so far, and the tool will show you exactly how many clinical supervision hours you still need, how to split them between individual, dyadic, and group supervision, and a realistic weekly, biweekly, and monthly pace to reach your goal.
The numbers reflect CRPO’s published rules — including the 100 supervision hours required to move from RP (Qualifying) to the full Registered Psychotherapist category, the 150-hour total required for independent practice, and the requirement that at least half of your hours be completed in an individual or dyadic format. It’s built for therapists in Ontario who want a straight answer instead of digging through regulatory PDFs.
This calculator is a free tool from OntarioSupervision.ca, where we provide CRPO-compliant clinical supervision to psychotherapists across Ontario. It’s for general guidance only — always confirm your specific requirements with CRPO and your own account.

How much CRPO clinical supervision do you actually need?
Answer a few quick questions about where you are in your CRPO journey. We'll show you your total required hours, your individual/dyadic vs. group split, and a realistic weekly, biweekly and monthly pace.
Step 1 of 4
Which best describes your current CRPO status?
This determines which set of requirements applies to you.
Step 2 of 4
How many clinical supervision hours have you completed so far?
Only count hours CRPO would accept (with a qualified supervisor, properly documented). Enter 0 if you're just starting.
Not sure? Your accepted hours appear on the "Practice Information" page of your CRPO account.
Dyadic = one supervisor with two supervisees. Leave blank or 0 if none / unsure.
Step 3 of 4
Roughly how many direct client contact (DCC) hours do you have?
This is optional — it lets us pace your supervision against your caseload. A 45–50 min session counts as one DCC hour.
Skip this if you don't know — your hour totals will still be accurate.
Step 4 of 4
When would you like to finish your remaining supervision hours?
We'll turn your remaining hours into a weekly, biweekly and monthly target.

About this calculator. This tool reflects CRPO's published clinical supervision requirements as of May 2026, including the requirement that at least 50% of supervision hours be completed in an individual or dyadic format, the 100-hour (Qualifying → RP) and 150-hour total (independent practice) thresholds, and CRPO's recommended supervision frequency. The hour totals are firm requirements; the weekly/biweekly/monthly pacing is guidance — CRPO emphasizes that frequency is a matter of shared professional judgment between supervisee and supervisor based on your experience, caseload and supports. This tool is provided for general information only and is not legal or regulatory advice. Always confirm your specific requirements with CRPO's official Supervision Requirements page and your own CRPO account.
