HARBOUR THERAPY CLINICAL SUPERVISION AND EDUCATION SERVICES

Evidence based support to excel client progress and achieve goals

  • For large clinics and OT employers

    Research shows that offering your employees external professional supervision has a positive impact on staff retention, job satisfaction and quality of life. It also reduces burnout and absenteeism, and positions you as an employer of choice.

  • Business mentorship and support for sole practitioners and small business owners

    When working for yourself or starting your own private practice, internal professional supervision is often unavailable. Accessing external sessions with our suitably skilled supervisors will ensure you can continue to meet required Australian occupational therapy competency standards.

  • For Occupational Therapists

    Professional supervision can help you feel more supported in your role, while also developing coping skills, acquiring and competently applying clinical knowledge, and accessing a platform for clinical debriefing.

    Our experienced Supervising Senior Occupational Therapist has over 10 years experience working with adults, children and families.

  • Professional, evidence based support for Allied Health Professionals and Educators

    Our senior Therapists also offer professional development opportunities for other Allied Health Professionals and educators working with children, adults and families living with disabilities to enhance your understanding, build evidence based skills and strategies that support your clients engagement in relevant tasks specific to your profession and clients goals.

How our professional supervision sessions work

Delivered online, across Australia & New Zealand

We offer individual supervision sessions as well as group sessions for up to six OTs. Sessions are held via Zoom and run for one hour, at a frequency of your choice. Supervisees can also connect with us between sessions to share your insights and wins, as well as quick clinical debriefs.

Structured & supervisee-driven

Our supervisors predominately draw on the Model of Occupational Wholeness to frame supervision, as well as referencing to the 4x4x4 Model of Supervision and Kolbs Experiential Learning Cycle. Our sessions are supervisee-driven and structured using online agendas, action plans and record templates.

Fully documented

Supervisees are expected to make detailed notes during or after their session, which are reviewed and signed by their supervisor as evidence for their continuing professional development log. We can also align professional supervision with internal staff development plans.

A Person-centred approach to professional supervision

Our approach is influenced by our experience that people feel integrated, fulfilled and whole when what they do meets their needs for being, becoming and belonging (as defined in the Model of Occupational Wholeness).

Professional supervision at Be You therefore aims to nurture occupational therapists in your being, becoming, belonging and doing.

BEING

Being incorporates self-awareness, reflective capacity and identity. We create a sanctum in supervision for occupational therapists to safely explore your identity, values, beliefs, strengths, skills, areas for exploration and growth, passions and desires.

BECOMING

Becoming refers to ongoing development, clinical competency and the cultivation of self. We support occupational therapists to identify and pursue your clinical interests and learning priorities in a way that promotes fulfilment.

BELONGING

Belonging emphasises the importance of feeling connected within the supervisory relationship, within the work environment and within the profession. We foster the occupational therapist's sense of belonging to promote your growth, connection and collaboration.

DOING

Doing refers to the application of knowledge and skill in clinical practice. We support occupational therapists to cultivate your clinical competency and the way you embody your role.
