Clinical Supervision and Case Consultation for Psychologists, Psychotherapists, and other Counselling Professionals

​

 

Clinical Supervision and Consultation

​

Sean is a Psychology Board of Australia (PBA) approved Supervisor of Psychologists, Clinical Registrars, and Provisional Psychologists. He provides supervision and clinical consultation both individually and in small groups, in-person in Melbourne, online across Australia, and internationally.

Sean’s approach to supervision is guided by the Psychology Board of Australia Code of Conduct and the APS Code of Ethics, ensuring that all work is conducted within a clear, ethical, and supportive framework. Supervision is not just about meeting professional requirements—it’s a collaborative process that strengthens clinical competence, reflective capacity, and emotional sustainability in practice.

 

Supervision Through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Lens

​

Drawing on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy model, Sean helps supervisees explore their clinical work while developing awareness of their own internal responses as therapists. This reflective approach supports practitioners to work with greater clarity, curiosity, and compassion. Sessions may include case consultation, ethical reflection, and clinical skill development.

​

While supervision can include an experiential exploration of therapist “parts,” Sean emphasises that supervision is not psychotherapy and should never replace personal therapeutic work. The focus remains on professional growth, ethical decision-making, and the effective application of psychological frameworks.

​

IFS Clinical Consultation and Certification

​

As an Approved IFS Clinical Consultant, Sean offers Internal Family Systems supervision and consultation for practitioners seeking to deepen their IFS practice or complete the consultation hours required for IFS Certification as a Certified IFS Therapist or Practitioner.

 

Areas of Focus

​

Sean has a particular interest in providing supervision for clinicians working with trauma and/or  addictive processes, supporting them to manage complexity, prevent burnout, and stay grounded in Self-leadership.

​

Whether you’re completing your registrar program, seeking IFS certification, or wanting a reflective professional space, Sean offers supervision that balances warmth, clarity, and ethical accountability.
