Supervision

Registered Provisional Psychologist Clinical Supervision - External Supervision

External supervision is available to provisionally registered psychologists working toward full registration with the College of Alberta Psychologists. This arrangement allows clinicians to complete their supervised practice hours at a workplace or clinical setting outside of Strathearn Psychology while receiving professional supervision and guidance.

Supervision is collaborative and tailored to the clinician's experience, learning goals, and professional development needs. It may include direct observation of clinical work, co-therapy (where appropriate), case consultation, review of ethical and professional standards, site visits, and ongoing opportunities for professional learning and skill development.

The goal of supervision is to support the development of clinical competence, sound professional judgment, ethical practice, and confidence as an emerging psychologist.

External supervision is offered in the clinical/counselling psychology branch of practice. Clinicians must be practising in Alberta to be eligible.

Please note: I do not provide internal supervision to psychologists working as contractors at Strathearn Psychology. My supervision services are offered exclusively to clinicians practising outside of Strathearn Psychology.

Supervision of Supervision

Also known as meta-supervision, supervision of supervision is designed for fully registered psychologists who wish to develop supervision as an area of professional competence. This process complements formal training in clinical supervision, which is also an essential component of developing the knowledge and skills required to supervise others effectively.

Supervision of supervision provides a collaborative and reflective space to strengthen supervisory skills, explore challenges, and develop confidence in the supervisor role. It may include case consultation, review of recorded supervision sessions, discussion of ethical and professional standards, site visits (as needed), and ongoing professional development.

Supevrision is offered on an as-needed basis and is advisory in nature. Psychologists retain full professional responsibility and liability for the supervision they provide, including their supervisory decisions, ethical obligations, and oversight of their supervisees' clinical work.

The goal is to support psychologists in developing a thoughtful, ethical, and competency-based approach to supervision that promotes both supervisee development and high-quality client care.

Supervision of supervision is offered in the clinical/counselling psychology branch of practice. Clinicians must be fully registered and practising in Alberta to be eligible.

Consultative Supervision

Consultative supervision is available to counsellors and therapists holding the Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) designation, clinicians registered with a regulatory body other than the College of Alberta Psychologists, and fully registered psychologists seeking to develop competence in a new area of practice or access ongoing professional consultation.

This service provides a collaborative and supportive space for clinicians to reflect on their work, navigate complex clinical situations, strengthen professional judgment, and continue developing their knowledge and skills. Consultation is offered on an as-needed basis and may include case consultation, review of ethical and professional standards, and direct observation of clinical work when requested.

Unlike formal supervision for provisional registration, consultative supervision is advisory in nature. Clinicians retain full professional responsibility and liability for the services they provide, including their clinical decisions, ethical obligations, and client care.

The goal of consultative supervision is to support thoughtful, ethical, and effective clinical practice while encouraging ongoing professional growth and reflective learning.

Consultative supervision is available to clinicians practising in Alberta..

The program emphasizes the development of foundational clinical skills, ethical decision-making, professional identity, and confidence as emerging clinicians.

Each intern is assigned a primary supervising Registered Psychologist who provides ongoing guidance, clinical oversight, and support throughout the placement. Interns also benefit from opportunities to learn alongside other Registered Psychologists within the practice, gaining exposure to diverse clinical perspectives, therapeutic approaches, and areas of expertise.
