ELEMENTS OF EFFECTIVE PSYCHOLOGY SUPERVISION
We have current availability and offer experienced and supportive Supervision
Emotional support
Lisa will spend time with mental health professionals, offering emotional support. She recognizes the importance of addressing the emotional well-being of professionals, providing a nurturing and empathetic presence during supervision sessions. She creates a space where professionals can openly express their emotions, process challenging situations, and receive the support they need to maintain their own mental and emotional well-being.
Engage and strengthen reflective practise skills
Lisa will engage in reflective practice with mental health professionals during supervision sessions. By encouraging introspection and self-awareness, she helps professionals learn from their experiences, gain insight, and continually improve their practice. Through this process, professionals deepen their understanding of themselves, their clients, and their therapeutic approaches, leading to enhanced clinical skills and better outcomes for clients.
Strengthen Individual case conceptualisation and intervention planning skills
• You will deepen your case conceptualisation and intervention planning skills. We will discuss ways to consider the whole person and culture, strengths and clients goals. We will discuss ways to pace intervention to suit individual needs and capacity. I can support intervention planning skills for the following types of therapies :
ACT, CBT, trauma focused CBT, Cognitive Processing therapy, EMDR, Schema Therapy, DBT and Transformational Chair-work.
We can use a variety of strategies to practice, model, and learn more about the above types of therapies using role place, chair work, viewing videos, reading current literature and more. I also believe feedback informed practise is an important element in our work and we will discuss ways to engage our clients in sharing their experience of therapy, the therapy alliance, you will be also be provided opportunities to share your experience of supervision.

Am I the Right Fit for Your Supervision Needs?
Choosing the right supervisor is an important part of your professional development. You’ll get the most from supervision when the supervisor’s experience and approach align with your learning goals, clinical background, and values.
I have been a Board-Approved Supervisor for over five years and have worked as a psychologist since 2010. My experience spans adult community mental health, not-for-profit organisations, and private practice settings.
I primarily work with adults and older adolescents (14 years and above) and have supported clients across a wide range of presentations—from mild to complex— including:
Complex trauma and dissociative presentations
Personality disorders
Schizophrenia and psychotic disorders
Anxiety, mood, and adjustment disorders
This breadth of clinical work allows me to support supervisees in developing confidence with EMDR across varying levels of complexity and client presentations, while also maintaining ethical, phase-appropriate practice.
My Supervisory Style
My approach to supervision is warm, collaborative, and reflective. I aim to create a space where we can explore your clinical work together with curiosity and compassion. Supervision with me is not about evaluation—it’s about growth, reflection, and developing confidence in your professional identity.
I value open dialogue and encourage us both to reflect on the work you do with clients, as well as your own internal processes and the dynamics within the supervisory relationship. Supervision becomes most powerful when it helps you not only understand your clients better, but also deepens your awareness of how you show up as a therapist.
Alongside reflection, I place strong emphasis on practical application and skill development. I enjoy supporting supervisees to translate theory into meaningful, real-world practice—building confidence, structure, and sound clinical judgment. Whether we are discussing EMDR integration, case formulation, or therapist self-reflection, my focus is on helping you grow in both knowledge and skill while maintaining your professional wellbeing.
