Supervision with me, is guided by Upside Stories’ values — belonging, curiosity, growth, and authenticity. Sessions are relaxed and down-to-earth, with opportunities to reflect, develop your clinical skills, navigate complex work, and build your professional identity.

Whether you’re preparing for registration, building your therapeutic skills, or after support in a particular area of geropsychology, I can help you reflect on your work and support clients to rewrite limiting stories and live with joy through meaning, purpose, health, and belonging — approaching midlife and beyond.

A Unique Focus: Midlife and Older Age Psychology

As our population ages, we’re seeing more clients navigate complex life transitions, from caregiving and chronic illness to evolving identities and renewed purpose. Yet opportunities for training in this space are often limited. My supervision sessions at Upside Stories offer a space to reflect on:

Ageing & Identity

  • Assumptions about ageing that shape clinical thinking

  • Inclusive approaches to gender, sexuality, and ageing

  • Midlife and later-life transitions

Complex Clinical Situations

  • Complex dementia care

  • Therapy and environmental adaptations for clients with cognitive change

  • Health comorbidities

  • Traumatic loss and posttraumatic growth

  • The needs of family carers and ambiguous loss

Systems & Practice

  • Collaboration across aged and community care

  • Trauma-informed, culturally responsive, pro-age care

  • The intersection of clinical psychology and preventive health

At Upside Stories, supervision is offered for:

  • Supporting provisional psychologists to grow their clinical confidence, ethical practice, and reflective capacity during their coursework placements — with a focus on real-world skills and compassionate professional development.

  • Guiding 5+1 interns through the final year of supervised practice, with structured support for case conceptualisation, intervention planning, ethical decision-making, and professional identity development — helping you bridge the gap between study and independent practice.

  • Providing tailored supervision for Clinical Psychology Registrars working towards full endorsement. Together, we focus on deepening clinical competencies, strengthening formulation and intervention skills, and building reflective practice habits that sustain long-term professional growth.

  • Offering supportive, reflective supervision for early career psychologists navigating the first years of independent practice. Sessions focus on consolidating clinical skills, managing complexity and risk, maintaining ethical practice, and developing a confident, authentic professional voice.
