Frequently Asked Questions
-
Values-based supervision goes beyond case discussion and compliance. It’s a reflective, ethical space where you can reconnect with the values that ground your practice, process the impact of your work, and build resilience for the long term.
-
I provide supervision to social workers and allied health professionals at all career stages — from students and new graduates through to senior practitioners and leaders. I also work with organisations seeking reflective supervision for teams or services. Over the years I have supervised nurses, psychologists, support coordinators, counsellors, professionals in leadership roles... that's the wonderful thing about critically reflecting on our values in practice - we've all got them, and we are all just looking to live a life where we are connected to our values base.
-
Frequency varies depending on your needs, workplace requirements, and professional stage. Many practitioners choose monthly sessions, while others meet more frequently during times of change or high stress. I keep availability aside each week for urgent needs, so I can support you through your toughest times. Many of my supervisees book in monthly, and book a year in advance to ensure continuity, while others like to book in the next available session as they need it. It's all up to you!
-
Yes. All my supervision is conducted online, and I have supervisees all across Australia. I offer supervision via secure online platforms.
-
Each session is shaped by your needs. You can expect a safe, confidential (even if your workplace is paying for it!) space to reflect, explore ethical challenges, review practice, and reconnect with what sustains you. My approach is warm, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practice.
-
Yes. I regularly supervise students on placement and early-career practitioners, supporting skill development, professional identity, and confidence. I was employed as the Discipline Principal of Social Work, and I am well across practice standards, credentialling, and work level standards for early career practitioners.
-
Yes. Confidentiality is central to the supervision relationship. While your workplace may cover the cost, what you share in supervision remains private. With your consent, I can provide confirmation of attendance or broad themes (e.g. professional development areas), but the content of our conversations is not disclosed without your permission.
-
Absolutely. Supervision remains valuable even if you’ve stepped out of direct practice. It provides a space to reflect on professional identity, navigate ethical stress, explore career direction, and stay grounded in your values. Many practitioners find supervision particularly supportive during role transitions or when working in leadership, policy, or non-clinical positions.
-
In a way, yes.
I offer a free, 30-minute 'working alliance' session to see if we’re a good fit. Building a strong supervisory relationship is vital, so this session gives you the chance to experience my approach, ask questions, and ensure that supervision will meet your needs before committing. It also gives me a chance to see if we might be a good fit, as the therapeutic alliance goes both ways.
-
Sessions typically run for 55 minutes for individual supervision, but can be adjusted for groups or organisational sessions depending on needs.
Group sessions typically run for 90 minutes.
-
Yes. My supervision meets AASW professional standards for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). If you are from another profession such as nursing, psychology, or counselling, please get in touch to confirm how sessions can be counted toward your registration requirements.

Session fees are available upon request. Please contact Candice directly or book a free 30-minute working alliance session to discuss your needs and receive current pricing information.

-
Moral injury occurs when we are exposed to, witness, or feel complicit in actions that conflict with our values — something many social workers and allied health professionals experience in under-resourced or ethically complex systems. Clinical supervision provides a space to name and process moral injury, reconnect with your values, and find a path forward. Candice has contributed to publications on moral injury and ethical stress in social work.
-
Yes. Candice regularly supervises social work students on placement and is well across AASW practice standards, field education requirements, and work level standards for early career practitioners. Student supervision provides a supportive space to develop professional identity, build confidence, and reflect on the realities of practice.
-
Individual supervision offers a personalised, one-on-one space tailored to your goals and challenges.
Group supervision brings practitioners together for shared reflection, learning, and peer support.
Organisational supervision is designed for teams and services, supporting reflective culture, ethical practice, and workforce sustainability. This can be delivered to practitioners and/or leaders, as a group (limit of 6 persons per group) or individual. I hold a number of organisational contracts, and each operate differently. I pride myself on being adaptable to your needs.
