Importance of Clinical Supervision in Child Psychology

Why Supervision Matters: Clinical supervision is crucial for maintaining high professional standards, identifying areas for ongoing development, and preventing practitioner burnout. Regular supervision and mentoring help ensure that clinicians continue to deliver safe, ethical, and high-quality services. It also keeps professionals updated with the latest evidence-based research in child mental health, where new insights and techniques are constantly emerging. By engaging in supervision, child psychologists and family therapists can refine their skills, stay current with best practices, and ultimately provide better outcomes for children and families.

Areas of Expertise in Paediatric Psychology and Family Therapy

At Rowe & Associates, we provide support, guidance, and supervision across a wide range of child therapy services and family psychology challenges.

Our team's expertise spans multiple areas of child and family psychology, including:

Family Court and Separation: Working with families involved in Family Court litigation (e.g. high-conflict separations). We offer guidance on supporting children and parents through the stress of legal disputes.
Separated Families: Conducting therapy with separated families, including strategies for co-parenting and improving child well-being after separation.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Assessment and intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorder. We provide supervision on using appropriate diagnostic tools and evidence-based interventions for children on the autism spectrum.
Behavioural Difficulties: Intervention for behavioural challenges in childhood, using evidence-based child behavioural therapy techniques to manage issues like aggression, defiance, or tantrums.
Childhood Anxiety: Treating childhood anxiety and related child mental health issues (such as school refusal or social anxiety) with proven therapeutic approaches.
Learning Disorders: Identification of learning disorders in children, along with guidance on educational assessments and support plans.
ADHD in Children: Assessment and intervention for childhood ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), including behavioural strategies and parent training to improve focus and behaviour.
NDIS Reporting: Understanding the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) for your clients and fulfilling reporting obligations. We help clinicians navigate NDIS requirements for funding and service provision.

(Each of these focus areas is grounded in evidence-based practice. Our supervisors draw on real-case experience and current research to help you build confidence and competence in handling these common scenarios in child and family psychology.)

Flexible Supervision & Training Options

Individual, Group & Telehealth: Our supervision and training services are flexible to suit different needs. We offer one-on-one individual supervision as well as small group sessions at our South Hurstville clinic. For added convenience, we also conduct telehealth child psychology supervision via secure video conferencing—ideal for practitioners who cannot attend in person or prefer remote learning. This approach enables you to access our South Hurstville team's expertise in child psychology from anywhere across Australia, including within St. George NSW and throughout the Sutherland Shire.

Workshops for Professionals: In addition to case-by-case supervision, we provide training workshops and seminars for organisations and community groups. We have experience training a variety of professionals, including allied health practices, medical professionals (GPs and pediatricians), preschool staff, and school teachers. These training sessions are tailored to each audience, ensuring relevant, practical skills – whether it’s a workshop on managing classroom behaviours for teachers or a seminar on family therapy techniques for social workers. Our goal is to spread effective family psychology and child therapy practices throughout the community.
