Although numerous insights have been generated into the process of counseling supervision, the individual determinants that steer counselors into seeking and adopting counseling supervision have been not been well documented, especially in a developing country like Kenya. This paper utilizes the Theory of Planned Behaviour by Ajzen (1985), which integrates the three (3) dimensions of attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control, that are hypothesized to influence counselors intention to seek counseling supervision services. The research design is a correlational, cross sectional research design, employing both quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques. A sample of 117 practicing and accredited Counselors in Nairobi County, Kenya was used. Data was collected using a 14 item Likert Scale questionnaire adapted from items used in previous institutional research. Data analysis utilized the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.0 to explore significant relations among the research variables. Multiple linear regression yielded a significant model explaining 31.7% (R2=.317, F (3, 104) =16.120, p<0.05) of the variance in the intention to seek counseling supervision.
