Professional Supervision

Reflections Psychology Services provides professional supervision to psychologists, social workers, counsellors, welfare workers, and other health professionals.

Professional supervision means having regular consultations with a trained supervisor. It offers you a space to review your work practices and discuss client matters. During supervision, you can:

  • Explore your feelings about work (e.g. excitement, frustration, anxiety, discouragement)

  • Receive constructive feedback and strategies for work-related issues

  • Identify and plan for self-care if needed

  • Advance your professional skills (e.g. time management, problem-solving, managing relationships, avoiding procrastination)

Do I need professional supervision?

You may benefit from regular professional supervision if you answer yes to any of these questions:

  • Are you a psychologist, social worker, youth worker, welfare worker, or other human services professional providing direct client support?

  • Do you manage or supervise teams of human services personnel or other allied health professionals?

  • Do you need independent supervision outside of your workplace to better review and reflect on your work?

  • Do you feel stressed or burnt out by your work?

Supervision is a critical part of safe and effective practice, especially when you have direct client contact. Evidence suggests supervision leads to:

  • Greater job satisfaction

  • Improved workplace relationships

  • Better service delivery to clients

  • More effective management of workplace stress

  • Reduced risk of burnout and vicarious trauma

How do I organise supervision?

If you’re interested in arranging supervision for yourself or an employee, please call us or fill out our online enquiry form and we will be in touch shortly.

Some workplaces fund professional supervision for employees—check with your Human Resources Department, Manager, Team Leader, or Supervisor to see if this is an option for you. If you pay for your own supervision, you may be able to claim it as a work-related expense on your tax return.
