Professional supervision for counsellors

Elevate your counselling practice and maintain your professional accreditation with compassionate advice and support.

Guidance from a trusted mentor and ACA-registered supervisor

Looking for a nurturing and genuine clinical supervisor who can support your professional journey in counselling — from self-care and handling complex cases to ethical practice methods and business approaches that help you and your clients thrive?

I can help. As a registered professional supervisor with the Australian Counselling Association, together we can complete the 10 hours of clinical supervision you need each year to maintain your membership.

I'm Nicole Mathieson, a qualified couple therapist, relationship coach and author.

My unique style comes from all the steps on my path that brought me here. I have been an artist, a teacher, a kinesiologist and now a counsellor and couple therapist.

Areas of focus for professional supervision

Finding your strengths and unique brilliance
Streamlining and honing your skills and tools
Creating structure and flow in client sessions
Troubleshooting issues and role-playing key moments
Deciding on future pathways and development
Ideating an online course, a book and other ways to get your message out there

I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole as a mentor — she has played a pivotal role in shaping my career. These insightful conversations have deepened my understanding of my path as a therapist and enriched my alignment with my core values. I am so looking forward to our continued work together as she helps guide me on this journey as an early-career therapist.

What to expect during professional supervision for counsellors:

I can help you process and percolate:

all you have learned from teachings, clinic work and your life experiences, transmuting these into your own unique therapeutic practice that your ideal clients will be drawn to
any client sessions that you have had or are going to have to help you grow and learn as a professional therapist
your queries around alignment with the ACA codes and ethics
your ideas for offerings, frameworks, and therapeutic processes

My preference is not to embrace one therapeutic teaching as the all-holy of wisdom and guidance. Instead, we'll integrate your inputs and allow them to incorporate into your own understanding of healing, humans and the workings of the universe.

My areas of special interest:

Relationships with others, couple counselling, intimacy, libido, relationship with self, body image angst, anxiety, self criticism, lack of self belief, break-up recovery, relationship clarity.

My therapeutic geek loves:

Internal Family Systems (IFS), IFS for couples, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Gottman, Polyvagal theory, Somatic therapy, Kinesiology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Clinical supervision FAQs

I am not in Brisbane, can I still have a session?

Does professional supervision count toward my Ongoing Professional Development (OPD), required as part of my counselling accreditation?

Yes. I am a registered supervisor with the Australian Counselling Association and can support Level 1 or 2 ACA counsellors in supervision.

This supervision is a requirement of accreditation to the national governing bodies and counsellors need 10 hours of supervision each year to maintain their professional accreditation.

I am excited to be able to build an ongoing relationship with you as you develop and grow your therapy practice.

Do I need to prepare in any way for my first session?

How will I know if you are the right practitioner for me?

I wish you all the very best in your therapeutic journey.

Take care,
