Clinical Supervision

I offer clinical supervision for practitioners who want more than supportive discussion and routine case review.

My approach is direct, analytically informed, and clinically rigorous. I work with practitioners who want to sharpen their thinking, confront blind spots, strengthen their use of self, and develop greater authority in practice.

Supervision should not function as a place to hide behind professional language, procedural habits, or borrowed certainty. It should be a place where clinical thinking is tested, defensive patterns are exposed, and weak formulation is corrected.

I provide supervision for practitioners at different stages of development.

For experienced clinicians, the work is demanding and reflective. We examine recurring impasses, over-identification, avoidance, rescue dynamics, misplaced certainty, and the subtle ways a practitioner’s own psychology can distort the work. The aim is not reassurance. The aim is clearer formulation, stronger clinical judgement, and greater therapeutic effectiveness.

For developing clinicians, the work is structured and developmental. We focus on formulation, boundaries, emotional regulation, ethical judgement, therapeutic stance, and the gradual development of confidence grounded in competence rather than self-protection.

In both forms of supervision, attention is given to the case material and to the practitioner. We examine what is happening in the therapy, what is happening in you, and where those processes are shaping one another.

This is not supervision for those seeking affirmation without scrutiny. It is for practitioners willing to think seriously, tolerate examination, and strengthen their practice through honest clinical work.

Supervision is available in Perth and online.
