Supervision

Individual Supervision for Clinical Registrars

As a clinical psychology registrar supervisor Jesse sees his role as to support you to develop confidence and competence required for independent practice as a fully qualified endorsed clinical psychologist. This includes deep theoretical knowledge for the ability to be flexible in formulation and treatment according to the complexity and uniqueness of the people you are working with. Scholarly-scientific rigour and sound ethical awareness are also emphasised.

Jesse believes (from experience and theory) that our personal patterns emerge in our professional role and affect the degree of help/hindrance of services for those we work with. As such, individual supervision with him (especially at the registrar level) also has a prominent focus of self-reflexivity, reflective practice, and deliberate practice.

Jesse seeks to facilitate your growth in these areas with a supervisory alliance containing the same relationship qualities as that with clients: trust, compassion, curiosity, genuineness, and (attempted) good humour.

Supervision services are set on a sliding scale from the standard paying fee ($220 + GST).

Group Supervision for Clinical Registrars: Minding Brains and Behaviour in Process Work

There is considerable evidence that therapist factors contribute to outcomes beyond specific ‘ingredients’ of established evidence-based models, and importantly, that such therapist factors can be developed through focussed training and supervision. The aim of this supervision group is to develop the participating registrars’ capacity to identify (and eventually act upon) common (though commonly missed) “pivot points” for therapeutic intervention through attunement to clues such as body language, paralanguage, and co-transference occurring in the process of therapy. That is, how to enhance outcomes through moment-to-moment awareness (inference) of and intervention upon inter-actions with clients

Some core therapy models relevant in this supervision are contemporary (evidence-based) psychodynamic models of therapy, but relevance can be drawn to other models familiar to registrars (e.g., CBT, DBT, ACT, IPT). Those oriented to more structured models but interested in developing their process and relational work are indeed welcome to the group, which is predominantly practice-oriented rather than educational.

Supervision for Clinical Psychologists

Supervision is available for on-going or as-needed consultations for endorsed clinical psychologists. Formulation and intervention for complex presentations and reflective/reflexive practice for clinician factors (e.g., personal dynamics, co-transference) are common points of focus. Also suitable for those interested in embedding rigorous neuroscientific theory (via active inference) in their clinical work.
