Board Approved Clinical Supervision
I love therapy. I love doing therapy and helping others do theirs.
I offer supervision to:
provisional psychologists as both primary and secondary supervisor
clinical psychologist registrars completing their clinical programs
early career psychologists wanting to deepen their therapeutic process
mid and late career psychologists
psychologists requiring supervision under AHPRA
I am not the kind of supervisor to teach you the nuts and bolts about a particular theoretical approach, but I will help you explore the dynamics between you and your clients in the space that happens in the room, what is at play, and what can be more worked with therapeutically.
I’m interested in helping you keep within your role with clients – helping you keep an eye on not doing too much care or working too much from your own values and experiences.
I’ll help you look at client’s strengths and weaknesses through a developmental lens, to see what is over and under developed, and to help you use these insights to help your clients shift and become more stable and content in their lives.
I believe that all behaviours and symptoms will make sense given a clients history, and I’ll work to help you see your clients as adaptive (they’ve managed this far without you), and that therapy is there to help those adaptations become more relevant for their current needs, more effective and more healthy.
I’ll help you to learn to manage your feelings about client boundaries - starting and finishing sessions on time, and help you develop personal procedures for out-of-session client contact, seeing multiple members of systems, etc, to help you limit therapeutic hic-ups.
I promise I’m down to earth, warm and curious, a straight shooter, and keen to make the sometimes painful process of learning the craft of becoming a therapist enjoyable.
