Supervision

I am a Board-Approved Supervisor (BAS) with the Psychology Board of Australia and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

I provide clinical supervision and a welcoming space for Provisional Psychologists, Registered Psychologists, Counsellors, and other therapists to reflect on their practice and hone their approach. I uphold best practice principles by guiding, mentoring, and assessing the competence and ethical practice of other Psychologists in Australia in alignment with AHPRA’s guidelines and Code of Conduct.

I have a particular interest in working with clinicians who are developing their skills related to couples therapy or working with trauma. I am well-versed in CBT (including Trauma-Focused CBT), Schema Therapy, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing.

Countertransference is an area I believe is deeply important for therapists to explore. Building insight into your responses and challenges as a therapist will allow you to make the most impact with clients while sustaining your wellbeing across your career. If we expect clients to lean into discomfort, tough questions, and uncertainty, we should be prepared to do the same.

I can assist you to develop skills in relation to:

  • Risk management

  • Couples and relationship therapy

  • Working with trauma, including PTSD

  • Supporting clients with anxiety, depression, and substance use

  • Building rapport with clients

  • Managing transference and countertransference

  • Working with LGBTIQA+ and CALD clients

  • Facilitating workshops and presentations

  • Working with groups

  • Maintaining professional boundaries

  • Ethical practice and exploring dilemmas

  • Responding to legal requests and subpoenas

  • Effective and efficient record keeping

  • Staying up to date with the Code of Conduct for Psychologists in Australia

50-minute sessions typically cost $260.
