Professional supervision for occupational therapists
Develop your career and meet your OT competency standards via individual or group professional supervision. Our approach goes beyond just case reviews. We dive deeper so you can grow both personally and professionally, helping you embody OT principles and philosophies in all aspects of your life.
Do you want to find more enjoyment in your OT role, feel more fulfilled professionally and embody excellence in your practice?
Professional supervision can help you:
Meet your professional requirements under the Australian Occupational Therapy Competency Standards.
Keep up to date with current evidence-based OT practices.
Sustainably meet your billable targets with minimal impact on your wellbeing, while focusing on therapeutic excellence.
Develop intentional therapeutic ‘use of self’ practices to optimise meaningful and transformational connection with your clients.
Discover how to apply OT principles and practices in your own life, increasing professional excellence and fulfilment as an occupational therapist.
Actively engage in the ongoing development of your clinical identity and the refinement of your clinical style.
Extend your clinical support network and develop the skills required to transition into leadership roles or private practice.
Professional development for every stage of your OT career
We supervise clinicians providing occupational therapy for people of all abilities, across the lifespan (paediatrics to adults). Whether you have recently graduated, are employed by an external organisation, are starting your own private practice, or work for yourself — we can assist. Our professional supervision sessions are held via Zoom for OTs throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Tailored professional supervision for OTs and leaders
-
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.
-
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 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.
A human-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.
We’re skilled in supporting OTs working within private practice and the NDIS system.
We’re also experienced in and committed to supervising occupational therapists who experience Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as well as with occupational therapists practising in emerging areas of practice.
We can supervise:
Paediatrics
Mental health
Adults
Disability
Driver assessments and reports
Functional assessments and reports
Simple and complex home modifications
Cooking and life skills therapy programs
Wheelchair and scooter prescription
Assistive technology prescription

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.
