Supervision with me, is guided by Upside Stories’ values — belonging, exploration, growth, and integrity. 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, I can help you reflect on your work and support clients to rewrite limiting stories and live with greater meaning, purpose, health, and belonging towards midlife and beyond.

A Unique Focus: Midlife and Older Age Psychology

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

  • Assumptions about ageing

  • Collaboration across aged and community care

  • Health comorbidities

  • Inclusive approaches to gender, sexuality, and ageing

  • Midlife and later-life transitions

  • The intersection of clinical psychology and preventive health

  • The needs of family carers

  • Therapy and environmental adaptations for clients with dementia

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

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.
