This study aimed to explore the experiences of counselor educators as supervisors on the practices of individual counseling practicum and its supervision processes in Turkey via a qualitative study, with consensual qualitative research as data analytic method. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 supervisors determined via maximum variation sampling from participants in a national study.
