Psychology Supervision for Disability, NDIS & Complex Clinical Practice

I provide individual supervision for provisional and registered psychologists who want to develop their assessment, formulation and intervention skills when working with people living with disability, neurodevelopmental conditions and complex mental health presentations.

My supervision combines evidence-based psychological practice with over a decade of experience working across disability services, private practice and multidisciplinary teams. Before becoming a psychologist, I worked extensively in the disability sector pre-NDIS, providing direct support to people with intellectual disability, autism, acquired brain injury, schizophrenia and other complex presentations. That experience continues to shape my clinical practice today.

I regularly work with NDIS participants across the lifespan, supporting presentations including autism, ADHD, intellectual disability, psychosocial disability, acquired brain injury, trauma, anxiety, depression and severe mental illness. This breadth of experience allows supervision to remain grounded in the realities of clinical practice while maintaining a strong focus on evidence-based care.

My Approach to Supervision

I believe good supervision develops autonomous and confident clinicians.

I aim to help psychologists strengthen their clinical reasoning, formulation skills and professional judgement. Supervision is collaborative, reflective and practical, providing a space to think deeply about clinical work while building confidence in day-to-day decision making.

Drawing from behavioural psychology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Behaviour Support, and relational approaches, I support supervisees to integrate evidence, ethics and therapeutic relationships into their own authentic style of practice.

Areas of Supervision

Supervision can be tailored to your learning goals and may include:

• Working effectively with NDIS participants and disability support systems

• Regional support work, presentations and interventions.

• Neuroaffirming assessment and intervention

• Functional assessment and case formulation

• Autism, ADHD and intellectual disability

• Complex mental health presentations

• Positive Behaviour Support and behaviours of concern

• Adapting therapy for cognitive, communication and functional differences

• Risk assessment and clinical decision making

• Professional ethics and reflective practice

• Psychological assessment and report writing

• Working collaboratively with families and multidisciplinary teams

• Managing therapeutic boundaries, workload and clinician wellbeing

• Building confidence in private practice with disability clients

5+1 Internship & Early Career Psychologists

Beginning independent practice can feel like a significant transition from university learning.

My supervision is designed to bridge that gap by helping provisional psychologists translate theory into confident, ethical and effective clinical practice while meeting Psychology Board supervision requirements.

Together we focus on developing strong formulation skills, improving clinical reasoning, building confidence with complex presentations and supporting the gradual development of your own professional identity as a psychologist.

Why Specialise in Disability Psychology?

Disability psychology is one of the most rewarding and intellectually engaging areas of practice. It brings together mental health, neurodevelopment, behaviour, family systems, physical health, communication, functional capacity and social participation.

Many psychologists discover that working within the NDIS presents challenges that weren't fully addressed during university training, from adapting therapy for cognitive differences to understanding functional capacity, navigating multidisciplinary teams and writing clinically useful reports.

Supervision provides an opportunity to build confidence in these areas while developing practical skills that improve outcomes for the people you support.

Australia-Wide Supervision

Supervision is available via secure telehealth for psychologists across Australia, with in-person supervision available by arrangement.

Whether you're completing the 5+1 pathway, seeking board-approved supervision, or wanting to build confidence in disability and NDIS practice, I'd be pleased to discuss how supervision can support your professional development.
