Professional supervision in Perth (In person and online)

Professional supervision in Perth (in person and online)

Professional supervision in Perth and online: a confidential, reflective space to strengthen safe, ethical practice and sustain your work over time.

Supervision supports counsellors, spiritual directors, clergy, chaplains and others in care-focused roles to stay grounded, accountable and well.

What is professional supervision?

Professional supervision is a structured conversation about your work. It gives you a place to bring real cases, dilemmas and questions, and to reflect on them with a trained supervisor.

Together you pay attention to:

• quality and ethics

• the impact of the work on you

• how your values, spirituality and context shape your practice

Supervision links insight to action so that your work remains effective, ethical and sustainable.

Who is supervision for?

Supervision at the Fullness of Life Centre is for people in caring and professional roles, including:

• counsellors and therapists

• spiritual directors and retreat facilitators

• clergy, chaplains and pastoral practitioners

• people in other helping professions who want a reflective space about their work

You might seek supervision when you:

• want to meet professional or organisational supervision requirements

• feel stretched by complexity, conflict or risk

• notice signs of fatigue, vicarious trauma or compassion strain

• want clearer boundaries and more sustainable rhythms

• value ongoing reflective practice as part of your vocation

How supervision helps

Supervision can support you to:

• Quality and ethics
  Clarify scope and limits of your role, manage risk and meet professional and organisational obligations.

• Reflective practice
  Work with dilemmas, blind spots, counter-transference and difficult dynamics. Make links between what you notice and what you do next.

• Support and wellbeing
  Sustain resilience and boundaries, name pressures and stresses, and set realistic goals for your practice.

• Integration
  Hold together your personal story, spirituality, values and professional responsibilities in a grounded way.

How it works

• Format: in person (Nedlands) or online by secure, encrypted video

• Length and rhythm: 60 minutes, typically monthly or by agreement, depending on role and requirements

• Confidentiality: conversations are private, with standard exceptions where disclosure is required by law or where there is serious risk of harm

• Fees: sliding scale (see Fees & Safeguarding)

You are welcome to bring reports or frameworks required by your profession, and we can shape sessions to meet those standards while keeping them human.

Supervision and other supports

Supervision sits alongside other forms of support:

• Counselling focuses on mental health, emotional healing and personal relationships.

• Spiritual direction focuses on your relationship with the Sacred and the movements of your inner life.

• Professional supervision focuses on your work practice, ethics, boundaries and wellbeing in your role.

At different times, you may engage in more than one. We can help you consider what combination is most useful.

Preparing for supervision

You do not need to prepare anything elaborate. It can help to:

• bring a recent situation, theme or question from your work

• notice where you felt stretched, stuck, enlivened or uneasy

• be ready to look at both the work and its impact on you

Supervision is collaborative. You can say what you need from the time and give feedback on how the process is working for you.

Sessions are available in person (Nedlands) or online by secure, encrypted video.
