Supervision for the Allied Health Professional
A reflective space to support, sustain, and strengthen your practice
Working in the allied health professions can be both deeply rewarding and emotionally demanding. Whether you are supporting clients through crisis, navigating complex systems, or managing heavy caseloads, your professional role can come with unique ethical, relational, and systemic challenges. Supervision offers a protected space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the values and purpose behind your work.
The Supervision Clinic offers clinical and reflective supervision to a range of allied health professionals, including:
-
Social workers
-
Mental health and psychiatric nurses
-
Youth and community workers
-
Family support workers
-
Occupational therapists
-
Early intervention and child protection teams
-
School and education based support professionals
A Supervision Space That Understands Your World
With a background in social work and psychotherapy, we both bring both clinical insight and real-world experience to supervision. We understand the pressures of safeguarding, interagency working, burnout, vicarious trauma, and the emotional impact of frontline care. Our aim is to offer a space that acknowledges those complexities while also promoting growth, resilience, and ethical clarity.
Supervision Can Support You To:
-
Reflect on difficult or emotionally charged cases
-
Strengthen professional boundaries and self-care practices
-
Navigate ethical dilemmas and decision-making
-
Explore relational dynamics with clients and teams
-
Prevent burnout and compassion fatigue
-
Reconnect with professional purpose and motivation
-
Enhance communication and leadership within your team or service
-
Meet professional CPD and accountability requirements
Encourage Lifelong Learning
With specialist training in areas such as child and adolescent psychotherapy, trauma, EMDR, Family Systems and systemic practice, Gina and Maura bring a depth of knowledge to the work. Our supervision style is never directive or rigid. Instead, she fosters an atmosphere of mutual respect, shared inquiry, and curiosity,where supervisees can grow in confidence and competence at their own pace.
We offer both individual and Group supervision to allied health professionals
