Quietude Counselling

Clinical supervision

Supervision for counsellors in Australia.

Online clinical supervision for counsellors registered with PACFA or ACA, with a PACFA Certified Supervisor.

Who this is for

I offer individual clinical supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists who are registered in Australia with PACFA or ACA.

You may be building your hours for registration. You may be an experienced practitioner who wants a regular place to think about your work. Both are welcome.

PACFA and ACA both ask their members for at least 10 hours of supervision a year. Please check what applies to you.

I can only supervise practitioners registered in Australia. I am not able to offer supervision for registrations in other countries.

How I work as a supervisor

I listen first, as I do with clients.

Supervision helps most when you can bring the sessions that did not go well, not only the ones that did. I want you to feel safe to do that.

For me, supervision looks after three things: your clients, your growth as a practitioner, and you.

We look at what is happening in your work, what you think and feel in the room, and what your client may need next. I share what I notice. I am honest when I see something differently.

I do not give you a script. I help you find your own way of working, safely and within your code of ethics.

I draw on person-centred, emotion-focused, narrative, solution-focused, cognitive behavioural and mindfulness-based approaches, and on motivational interviewing. We use what fits you and your clients.

What you can bring

  • Client work where you feel stuck or unsure.
  • Ethical questions and boundaries.
  • Risk and duty of care.
  • How the work affects you, including tiredness and self-doubt.
  • Working online.
  • Working across cultures, or in a second language.

How it works

Before we start, we agree in writing how often we meet, how confidentiality works, and how we record your hours.

I have been a certified supervisor since 2022. As a senior health and wellbeing consultant, I supervised the counsellors in my team.
