Good supervision is the difference between a clinician who survives the early years of practice and one who grows into the work with confidence. It is the place where complex cases are unpacked, where ethical questions are thought through carefully, and where your own wellbeing as a practitioner is treated as part of the clinical picture, not separate from it.
At Chrysalis Psychology & Wellbeing, supervision is delivered by Board-Approved Supervisors with experience across clinical psychology, trauma, neurodevelopmental work, and private practice. We offer individual and small-group supervision, in person at our Battery Point rooms or online across Australia.

Regular, robust supervision is the single biggest contributor to clinical competency and confidence over a psychology career. Research on supervision outcomes (Watkins, 2017) consistently shows that well-supervised clinicians develop stronger reflective practice, better case formulation, and lower rates of burnout. Supervision is also a regulatory requirement: the Psychology Board of Australia mandates structured supervision for registrars and provisional psychologists, with specific hour and format requirements.
We work with supervisees across Battery Point, Hobart, southern Tasmania, the West Coast, and Australia-wide via telehealth. Our supervision is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practice. To find a supervisor who suits your needs, more information about our Board-Approved Supervisors is available on our team page.
Our supervision is offered to:
Clinical registrars working towards endorsement (primary and secondary supervision)
Provisional psychologists on the 4+2 internship pathway
Provisional psychologists on the 5+1 internship pathway
Higher degree placements outside formal university placements
Psychologists re-entering practice after a career break
Internationally trained psychologists requiring transitional supervision
Practising psychologists seeking peer supervision or reflective practice
Allied health practitioners requiring external clinical reflection
Our approach balances structured professional guidance with reflective discussion. The aim is not to deliver answers but to develop the supervisee’s own clinical thinking, ethical reasoning, and practitioner identity. Sessions are tailored to your stage of training and current clinical work, drawing on:
Trauma-informed supervision principles
AHPRA ethical frameworks and Code of Conduct
Reflective practice models including Hawkins and Shohet’s seven-eyed model
Evidence-based skill consolidation across CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, schema, and IFS approaches
Practitioner wellbeing and burnout prevention
We create a safe, respectful space where you can explore challenges, sit with uncertainty, celebrate progress, and refine your practice.
We provide primary and secondary supervision for psychology registrars working towards clinical endorsement. Registrar programs require 80 hours of supervision across 24 months, with at least half delivered face-to-face or via real-time videoconference. We help you meet these requirements while building genuine clinical confidence in your area of endorsement.
We offer supervision for provisional psychologists on the 4+2 and 5+1 internship pathways, as well as higher degree placements outside formal university placements. Supervision is adapted to your stage of training, your learning goals, and the type of work you are doing. We provide both the structured documentation required by AHPRA and the deeper reflective work that builds long-term clinical capacity.
Returning to practice after a break, or moving to Australia with international qualifications, brings a particular set of challenges. We provide transitional supervision that respects your prior experience while supporting you to navigate AHPRA requirements, Australian regulatory expectations, and the local practice landscape.
We facilitate small-group peer supervision for registered psychologists wanting ongoing professional development outside the registrar pathway. Groups are capped to allow genuine reflection, are facilitated by a Board-Approved Supervisor, and run on a structured agenda that includes case presentation, ethical reflection, and practitioner self-care.
We offer face-to-face supervision at our Battery Point rooms and secure videoconference supervision across Tasmania and Australia. Flexible scheduling is available outside standard clinical hours to accommodate full-time clinical work.
