Supervision

I’m John Belchamber, an ACA Level 4 Member and ACA College of Supervisors member offering individual and group clinical supervision for counsellors, whether you’re newly registered or well into building your own practice. Sessions run face-to-face from my Sunshine Coast practice or online via Zoom, for counsellors anywhere in Australia or New Zealand.

Supervision built on the STEP-UP model

Most supervision stops at the clinical work. Mine doesn’t — because the challenges you’re facing as a counsellor rarely stop there either.

I use my own STEP-UP framework, which brings together six areas: Support for you as a practitioner, Tracking your clinical work and client outcomes, Education and professional development, Performance and career goals, U — your own selfcare, and Practice — the business side of counselling that almost nobody talks about in supervision: insurance, fees, referrals, time management, and building a sustainable caseload.

My own clinical base draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and contextual behavioural science, combined with over 28 years’ experience in training, coaching and business consulting. That’s a combination you won’t find with most supervisors: clinically grounded and genuinely useful if you’re also trying to build a practice that works.

Get in touch first

I only work with a small number of supervisees at a time, so before anything goes in the diary, let’s have a conversation to make sure I’m the right supervisor for you. Once we’ve spoken and it feels like a good fit, I’ll set you up with access to book directly.
