Clinical Supervision Training | Beginning 10 March

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to build supervisory relationships that foster psychological safety while providing developmentally appropriate challenges. Explore a range of supervision modes, methods, and models—and refine or develop your own approach.

You’ll deepen your understanding of the roles, tasks, and professional foundations of effective supervision, and gain practical techniques for giving and eliciting meaningful feedback.

This training also supports you to work with an intersectional lens, considering how factors like culture, power, class, age, and gender shape supervision. You’ll reflect on organisational influences, strengthen your “use of self,” and explore strategies for both self‑care and collective care.

Ideal for supervisors committed to reflective, ethical, and growth‑focused practice.

Training details: Online modules + 4 in-person workshop days
Location: The Bouverie Centre, Brunswick
