Positive Behaviour Support Supervision in

Ipswich

Clinical supervision is a mandatory requirement for positive behaviour support practitioners at all levels under the NDIS Commission's framework. But beyond compliance, quality supervision is what helps you grow as a practitioner, navigate ethical dilemmas, and provide the best possible support to the people you work with.

PBS supervision provides a structured, reflective space to examine your practice, discuss complex cases, develop your capabilities across the framework domains, and ensure your work remains person-centred and evidence-based.

What Supervision Includes

Case Consultation & Guidance
Bring your complex cases, ethical questions, and challenging situations. We'll work through them together, exploring different perspectives and evidence-based approaches that honour the person at the centre of the support.

Capability Framework Development
Whether you're beginning at entry level or building toward advanced practice, we'll focus on developing the capabilities that matter. From functional behaviour assessment skills to stakeholder engagement and restrictive practice considerations.

Suitability Assessment Support
Preparing for your suitability assessment? I'll support you through portfolio development, self-assessment against capability domains, evidence gathering, and application preparation. Supervision that helps you demonstrate your competence with confidence.

Reflective Practice & Professional Growth
Supervision isn't just about cases, it's about you as a practitioner. We'll explore your professional development goals, reflect on your practice approach, and support you in becoming the practitioner you want to be.

Evidence Integration
Stay current with PBS research, best practice frameworks, and emerging approaches. We'll discuss how evidence translates into practical application within your real-world context.

Why Choose Supervision with Horizon Counselling

Experienced PBS Practitioner

I bring 10 years of disability sector experience and 5 years in professional PBS practice, along with qualifications in Psychology, Counselling, and ongoing study in Autism & Neurodiversity. Supervision grounded in genuine understanding of what you face in the field.

Neuro-Affirming Framework

My supervision approach is built on neuro-affirming practice. We'll explore how to move beyond compliance-based models toward truly person-centred, strength-based PBS that honours neurodiversity and respects each person's autonomy and dignity.

Collaborative, Not Hierarchical

Supervision should feel supportive, not judgmental. Our sessions are collaborative spaces where you can bring uncertainties, mistakes, and questions without fear. Growth happens when we feel safe to examine our practice honestly.

Practical & Relevant

Theory matters, but so does reality. Supervision with me focuses on practical application - how do you actually implement evidence-based PBS in messy, complex real-world situations? We bridge the gap between textbook and practice.

Who This Is For

New PBS Practitioners
Finding your feet in positive behaviour support? Supervision provides the guidance and support you need to build confidence and develop foundational skills with someone who remembers what it's like to be new.

Practitioners Seeking Suitability Assessment
Preparing your portfolio and capability demonstration? I'll support you through the process, helping you articulate your competence and prepare for assessment with clarity and confidence.

Experienced Practitioners
Even seasoned practitioners benefit from external supervision. Fresh perspectives on complex cases, support with ethical dilemmas, and space for professional reflection with someone who understands the depth of this work.

Practitioners Transitioning Levels
Moving from Core to Proficient or Proficient to Advanced? Supervision helps you identify capability gaps, develop required competencies, and prepare for the next stage of your PBS practice.

What to Expect from Supervision

Initial Consultation

We'll start with a conversation about your supervision needs, professional goals, and what you're hoping to achieve. This is your opportunity to ask questions and ensure we're a good fit before committing to ongoing supervision.

Supervision Agreement

Clear expectations matter. We'll establish a supervision agreement that outlines frequency, focus areas, confidentiality, record-keeping, and how we'll work together. Everything transparent from the start.

Regular Sessions

Supervision can be structured as regular ongoing sessions (monthly, fortnightly) or flexible consultation as needed. Sessions typically run 60-90 minutes and can be conducted in-person in Springfield Lakes or via telehealth anywhere across Queensland.

Case Review & Discussion

Bring your functional behaviour assessments, behaviour support plans, complex cases, and ethical questions. We'll review together, exploring different angles, considering evidence, and developing your analytical and planning skills.

Documentation & Records

I maintain supervision records that document our sessions, areas covered, and your professional development progress. These records can support your suitability assessment or professional development requirements.

NDIS Funding

Clinical supervision is billable under appropriate NDIS categories when supervision is part of service delivery. For practitioners seeking supervision as professional development, this is typically not NDIS-funded but may be claimed as professional development expenses.
