Supervision carries significant responsibilities because this relationship is more than a “therapist to the therapist”. Supervisors are mentors to the next generation of clinicians.
You’ve taken up this challenge because you want to make a difference in your supervisee’s practice, and therefore in their clients’ lives.
Without the appropriate skills and tools, you may sometimes lack confidence in your approach, and feel like you’re not doing the best you can for your supervisees. In this engaging one-day workshop, Dr Ari Badaines reveals the “big 3” elements of successful supervision:
A practical guide uniting theory and practice. Get the practical skills to examine therapeutic and supervisee relationships.
Polyvagal theory applied to supervision. Discover how the core concepts of Polyvagal Theory apply to the supervision climate. This lens will provide clarity around client and supervisee ‘stuckness’ and shutdown; and offer help to ‘unstick’ the therapy and the supervision.
Practical ways to deal with issues arising in supervision. You’ll discover the key elements that guide the practical aspects of supervision, including dealing with transference and counter-transference emotions between supervisor and supervisee and supervisee and clients.
Through lectures and experiential exercises like Chairwork, you’ll gain a toolbox of practical skills with which to examine therapeutic and supervisee relationships, move relationships forward, and be prepared to handle challenging situations.

Dr Ari Badaines trained as a clinical psychologist in the USA and received a post-doctoral National Institute of Mental Health fellowship in Washington, DC. Ari has been a consultant to numerous organisations including Relate in the UK, Richmond Fellowship and Youth-in-Search in Australia. He has taught at various universities in the USA, UK, and Australia including ACU and ACAP in Sydney and has also has led workshops in over twenty countries. Ari has been in private practice for over 45 years. The main theoretical orientation of his training was psychodynamic psychotherapy, and he had many years of supervised, clinical practice, including a one year pre doctoral internship at a psycho-analytic training institute in New York. As the demands for therapy grew, the ‘payer’ (governments, insurance companies, clients) demanded more parsimonious approaches, Ari undertook trainings to develop the skills for TLDP. He currently maintains a private practice in Sydney, consults to treatment organisations and supervises other therapists; he is a popular presenter for Pesi AU and runs trainings in the UK and Europe twice a year.
