Supervision & Professional Development
Extensive Experience in Men’s Mental Health & Private Practice Work
At Blokes Psychology, we’ve spent years working extensively with men and boys in a private practice setting - from tradies and executives to first-time dads, teens, and retirees.
We now offer external clinical supervision and consultation for psychologists and other therapists who want to deepen their skills in:
- Engaging and retaining men in therapy
- Working with complex presentations in private practice
- Building confidence with evidence-based, longer-term therapy with men
Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned clinician wanting more confidence with male clients, we’d love to support you.
Who Our Supervision Is For
Note: You don’t need to “specialise in men” already – that’s where we come in.
Provisional psychologists
and early-career psychologists
Mid-career and senior clinicians
wanting more depth with male presentations
Allied health professionals
working in therapeutic roles (e.g. social workers, counsellors, NDIS providers)
Clinicians in private practice
who feel “stuck” or unsure how to engage and keep men in therapy longer term
What We Offer
We provide flexible, tailored supervision and consultation, including:
- One-off case consultations – when you need a second pair of eyes or a sanity check
- Ongoing individual supervision – monthly or fortnightly
- Small group supervision – where appropriate and by arrangement
- In person (at our clinics, where local) or via telehealth (nationwide)
Supervision can cover:
- Case formulation & treatment planning
- Engaging and retaining male clients in therapy
- Risk, suicidality, and crisis work with men
- Trauma, phobias, anxiety, mood, addiction, neurodiversity and more
- Working in or transitioning to private practice
- Therapist wellbeing, boundaries and sustainability
All supervision is evidence-based, practical, and grounded in the realities of private practice.
