Professional Supervision Training
Quick links for Professional Supervision Training details
Quality supervision supports us to deliver the best client services possible.
Supervision can be an optimal, even transformative learning experience that helps us build clinical and practice wisdom.
It is a uniquely tailored, professional development process that supports clinical and professional skill development, reflection and the essential skills of self-care and personal well-being.
As the Transformative Supervision Model conveys, supervision is not always a positive experience. If supervisors and workplaces are unaware of best-practice principles, there is a risk that supervision can be a benign, or even toxic experience.

Transformative Supervision Whitepaper
Is professional and clinical supervision optimising and transforming your workplace?
Best practice supervision requires skilled supervisors and supervisees who are educated in supervision as well as a workplace that is aligned with a learning culture and learning principles. This white paper explores the value of professional and clinical supervision and ways that workplaces can optimise this investment.
-
Best practice supervision quiz
Does your workplace offer professional and clinical supervision that is:
high-quality
evidence based
positively impactful
transformative?
Supervision can be a highly transformative experience that provides significant benefits to the supervisee, supervisor, and workplace. If the evidence is ignored, supervision can be a waste of time or even worse, an invalidating, traumatic or toxic experience.
Michelle has created a quiz to help you consider the degree to which the supervisory approach taken in your workplace aligns with best practice. The quiz is more educative than evaluative and helps identify the common approaches taken at each of the four levels.

“Michelle’s training reignited my love of learning and shifted my focus to concentrating on strengths to assist my team to grow. By role modelling these ideas in the training, I was able to quickly implement them into my own practice. Her generosity with the resources she has developed has meant I have been able to explore what works for myself and each individual team member. I am so grateful to be on a clearer and more confident path to providing effective and transformative supervision”

“Michelle offered a thoughtfully presented and thought-provoking two day seminar on supervision, perfectly timed with expanding my Occupational Therapy private practice. The tools, discussions, and presentation were professionally delivered and very engaging. Michelle exemplified her material throughout the seminar. She showed us just how powerful and effective supervision can be in supporting individual team members to bring their best to their clients, to the business but more importantly, to themselves.”

“I found the Supervision course very enriching with information, that not only helped me to supervise but as a supervisee for myself. Michelle Bihary has so much experience and knowledge in leadership, and supervision, that can support many areas of work or workplaces to support their staff and themselves in their growth and learning goals. I highly recommend this course.”
