Clinical Supervision with Cassandra Allen
Supporting Those Who Support Others
With over 20 years of experience in the mental health and community services sector, I bring a grounded, trauma-informed lens to supervision. My approach is reflective, relational, and rooted in best practice. I understand the emotional toll and ethical challenges that come with supporting people through crisis, recovery, and transformation – because I’ve walked that path too.
My Supervision Style
As a clinical supervisor, I create a safe and nonjudgemental space where you can:
- Reflect on your practice
- Explore clinical dilemmas and ethical concerns
- Deepen your understanding of trauma and its impacts
- Strengthen your resilience and boundaries
- Celebrate your strengths and growth as a practitioner
I draw on evidence-based frameworks, including reflective practice models such as Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle, trauma theory, systems thinking, and intersectional approaches to power and culture. I also incorporate culturally responsive and decolonising practices, especially when working alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners or those working in community-led settings.
Who I Work With
I supervise:
- Counsellors, psychotherapists, and psychologists
- Family violence practitioners and case managers
- Carer support workers, disability advocates, and peer workers
- First Nations workers and culturally diverse professionals
- Students and early career practitioners seeking mentorship and growth
Whether you are seeking supervision to meet professional registration requirements or for your reflective development, I tailor our work together to suit your needs and learning goals.
Available Supervision Options
- Individual Supervision (online)
- Group Supervision (small, safe, facilitated reflective groups)
- Student Supervision (for placements or early-career development)
Let’s Connect
If you’re looking for a supervisor who will hold space for your growth, well-being, and professional integrity, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
