Expert Supervision for Clinical Psychology Registrars and Registered Psychologists
Are you a registered psychologist seeking specialised clinical supervision? Or perhaps you're undertaking the clinical psychology registrar program? At McKinnon Psychology, we provide expert supervision exclusively for registered psychologists and clinical registrars who are advancing their practice. Whether you're deepening your expertise in specific treatment areas or working towards clinical endorsement, our supervisors offer the sophisticated guidance needed to excel in complex therapeutic work.
Clinical Supervision Sydney: What to Expect During Your Supervision Journey
Your supervision experience is tailored to your professional status and learning objectives. For clinical registrars, we provide comprehensive supervision meeting all requirements for endorsement. For registered psychologists, we offer flexible options including ongoing professional development or targeted consultation sessions.
Our specialised one-off supervision sessions focus on:
• PTSD Treatment – Advanced techniques for processing trauma, managing dissociation, and implementing evidence-based protocols
• Anxiety Disorders – Refining CBT applications, exposure therapy planning, and working with treatment-resistant anxiety
• OCD Interventions – Exposure and response prevention strategies, addressing family accommodation, and managing complex presentations
Regular supervision sessions typically explore:
• Complex case consultation and treatment planning
• Advanced therapeutic techniques and interventions
• Navigating ethical dilemmas in clinical practice
• Professional development and career progression
• Enhancing clinical documentation and reporting
Our Edgecliff location provides convenient access for clinicians across the Eastern Suburbs, with excellent transport links from Paddington, Woollahra, and Double Bay. Many registered psychologists from the Inner West and Lower North Shore also find our central location ideal for fitting supervision into busy clinical schedules.
Flexible Supervision Options by Experienced Practitioners
Quality supervision shouldn’t be limited by geography. Through secure online platforms, we offer the same depth of connection and learning as face-to-face sessions. This flexibility proves invaluable for registered psychologists seeking specialist consultation from anywhere in Australia, and for clinical registrars managing busy placement schedules.
We’ve refined our telehealth approach to create an engaging environment that supports both in-depth case consultation and ongoing professional development. Many clinicians appreciate the option to book one-off sessions when complex cases arise, or combine regular supervision with targeted consultations as specific challenges emerge in their practice.

Common Questions About Clinical Supervision
Who is eligible for supervision at McKinnon Psychology?
We provide supervision exclusively for registered psychologists and those undertaking the clinical psychology registrar program.

Clinical registrars receive comprehensive supervision supporting their endorsement journey.

Yes! Registered psychologists can book targeted supervision sessions focusing on our areas of expertise. These consultations are ideal when you’re working with complex PTSD presentations, treatment-resistant anxiety, or challenging OCD cases.

Many supervisees appreciate the flexibility to combine both formats based on their needs.
