Supervision Services
James became a board approved supervisor in 2011, and since that time has provided supervision to those on the 4+2 pathway, students engaged in 5+1 or Clinical Masters programs, those on the clinical psychology registrar pathway, and also to Psychologists and colleagues in the mental health professions.
“My supervisory experience has been a very enjoyable and fulfilling aspect of my career and has also familiarized me with the various workplaces with which psychologists are engaged, in the public, not-for-profit, and private sectors”.
James has also worked for the APS on the Professional Advisory Service for a 6-month term, providing advice and guidance to registered Psychologists across a range of complex issues relating to professional practice. James has also worked in metropolitan areas, before moving to a regional city, and so appreciates the different challenges between city and regionally based psychologists and allied health professionals. Currently James has a part-time role with Southern Queensland Rural Health (SQRH), providing supervision and training to support the mental health workforce in south west Queensland.
“I have particular interest in supporting mental health professionals with issues relating to their professional practice including vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and burnout”. James provides group supervision to complement those undertaking individual supervision towards clinical endorsement. Registrar pathways allow for up to 33% of supervision to be undertaken in a group format. Group supervision is an effective means of receiving constructive input into your professional development and provides collegial support for those who otherwise may feel isolated in their professional practice. Group supervision is also cost-effective, using being less expensive than individual supervision sessions.
“Groups provide an environment that enhances the learning and development of those who participate. It is one of the more rewarding experiences for me as a supervisor”
Individual and group supervision services are also offered online via Zoom and are therefore avaiable to Psychologists in metropoliton and regional areas of Australia and Internationally.
