Psychology Supervision & Professional Consultation

Board-approved supervision and independent professional consultation for psychologists — at any stage of practice.

Some psychologists come for supervision. Others already have their formal arrangements in place and want something different: a senior colleague, outside their workplace, to think a difficult case through with, to test an ethical or boundary decision against, or to talk honestly about what the work is doing to them. Both are welcome here, and you do not have to commit to regular supervision to book a single consultation.

Two things, clearly separated

Board-approved psychology supervision

Formal supervision for psychologists whose registration, pathway or circumstances require it, provided within my Board-approved supervision categories and the applicable Psychology Board requirements. I keep a supervision record and provide written confirmation of sessions attended.

Not every form of Board-regulated supervision falls within every supervisor’s approval. If you need supervision for a formal purpose, please enquire first and tell me what it is for; we will confirm together whether I can provide some or all of what you need before we begin.

Professional consultation and reflective supervision

An independent space for registered psychologists who want to think through complex cases, ethical questions, boundaries, professional reactions, professional identity, emotional load and sustainable practice — with a psychologist who is outside your workplace, your practice and your professional circle.

Available as a one-off consultation about a particular matter, or on an ongoing basis. Many established psychologists use it alongside their existing arrangements rather than instead of them.

Experienced psychologists are not an afterthought here. Much of my work is with practitioners well into their careers who are navigating complex work, difficult systems, moral distress, or the slow accumulation of other people’s pain.

When psychologists get in touch

“I need someone independent to think this case through with.”
“I’m carrying too much of my clients’ distress and I can feel it.”
“I’m not sure my boundary decision — or my ethical call — is right, and I don’t want to ask my manager.”
“I’ve lost confidence since a difficult case, a complaint or a hard outcome.”
“I’m exhausted, and I can’t tell whether it’s burnout, the workplace or the work itself.”
“I want to keep doing this work well without giving it everything I have.”
“I need supervision and I’d like it to look at the psychologist as well as the client.”

These are ordinary things for a psychologist to need help with. Psychologists are exposed to the same harms as the people they see, and supervision or consultation that only ever looks at the client is missing half the picture.

How it works

60 minutes, by secure video or phone, wherever you are in Australia.
$220 per session, paid privately. One-off consultations and ongoing sessions are the same rate. No package, no block-booking discount, no fixed number of sessions.
One-off or ongoing. Book a single consultation about a specific matter, come periodically, or set up a regular arrangement — monthly or every four to six weeks is common. Frequency is guided by what you need and any professional requirements that apply to you.
Peer consultation and CPD. Sessions may be relevant to the Psychology Board’s peer consultation and CPD requirements. You remain responsible for confirming how sessions count under the requirements that apply to you, and I will provide records to support that.
Your requirements remain yours. Where formal supervision requirements apply to your registration or circumstances, you remain responsible for making sure the arrangement meets them. I will be clear about what I can and cannot provide.
Records. I keep a supervision or consultation record and can provide written confirmation of sessions attended.
Employer-funded. Some practices and employers fund external supervision or consultation. I can provide a receipt that describes the service accurately; the arrangement is between you and them.
Confidential. Sessions are confidential, subject to the usual legal and ethical limits that apply to psychological services and to supervision.
Cancellation. Please give at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule.

Consultation is not therapy

Supervision and professional consultation focus on the work: your practice, complex cases, your reactions, decision-making, boundaries, ethics and development. Psychological therapy focuses on you: your own mental health, symptoms, functioning and recovery. The two can overlap — it is hard to think about vicarious trauma without thinking about the person carrying it — but they are different services with different purposes, and this one is not therapy under another name.

If it becomes clear that therapy would serve you better, I will say so, and we can talk about the most appropriate next step, which may or may not be with me. Telehealth means you can see a psychologist outside your own professional community if you prefer. Psychological therapy →

Common questions

Are you a Board-approved supervisor?

Yes. I am a registered psychologist and a Board-approved supervisor with the Psychology Board of Australia, with more than 25 years’ experience across workplace rehabilitation, psychological injury, employee assistance and private practice. Supervision is provided within my approved supervision categories, qualifications, competence and scope.

Do you supervise provisional psychologists or registrars?

Please enquire first. Whether I can supervise you depends on your pathway and on my approved categories, and I would rather work that out with you before you commit than have you discover a gap later.

Can I come for one session?

Yes. A one-off professional consultation about a particular case, decision or professional experience is a normal way to use this service. You do not need to commit to ongoing supervision.

Can consultation count as peer consultation for CPD?

It may. The Board’s requirements are yours to interpret and record; I will provide written confirmation of sessions so that you can do that.

Can my employer or practice pay?

Yes, if they agree to. The fee and the receipt are the same; the arrangement is between you and them.

I am not a psychologist. Is there something for me?

Yes. Professional Supervision, Consultation & Reflective Practice offers the same independent space to helping professionals in other fields, and External Reflective Practice for Teams is available to organisations.
