Clinical supervision
I provide supervision for therapists and clinicians across a wide range of practice contexts.
My approach is transparent, collaborative and grounded in reflective practice.
You can expect to be challenged and affirmed. My aim is to help you build confidence and a clinical identify that feels genuinely your own.
Supervision sessions are available in person in Pascoe Vale and via telehealth.
