Clinical Supervision
Psychologist & Counsellor Supervision
Board Approved Supervisors play a vital role in the training and assessment of the psychological competencies required to become a registered psychologist.
Our Board Approved Supervisors ensure that the supervisee practises within accepted professional standards, providing evidence-based assessments and interventions. Further, our supervisors ensure that the supervisee does not practice beyond competence.
Although both these responsibilities also rest with the provisional psychologists as registered health practitioners, our supervisor’s knowledge and experience place them in the optimal position to assess both requirements.

Culturally Safe Clinical Supervision
Are you a provisional or registered psychologist working with clients of colour? Do you feel unsure about how to discuss or respond to their experiences of racism and/or discrimination?
Perhaps you are a clinician of colour and/or other minority identity (LGBTIQ, religious group, disability) who is VERY aware of your difference when working with your clients.
However, many of us spent very little time learning about cultural competence and safety during our qualifying courses, and most of us work with a broad range of clients who challenge our understanding of ourselves, others, and the world.
Often, our lack of knowledge about the backgrounds of our clients, which may be different from ours, can trigger concerns about our ability to provide them with impactful psychological care. Other times, our sense of being different (or too similar) can challenge our sense of comfort (and skill) during clinical interactions. Our supervisors have experience with clients and in supervision on all these aspects.
Their understanding and developmental approach to supervision ensures that clinicians learn about working with differences and that clinicians who are 'different' can support their clients, their wellbeing, and their clinical growth. #timetothrive
