Roger Vallance

35 years across education and counselling

My path to becoming a supervisor spans over 35 years in education, including 15 years in secondary and 20 years in tertiary settings. This extensive experience has instilled in me a deep desire to work with individuals to resolve the challenges they face. I have a particular background in supporting adolescents within school environments.

I am passionate about helping others navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders across all generations, and I am well-informed about men's issues. I have significant experience supervising both early career counsellors and those well-advanced in their professions, and I am keen to explore small group supervision options.

Lived experience and global perspective

Unique experiences, valuable insights

Beyond my formal qualifications as an Australian registered counsellor and mental health practitioner with PACFA and AAoS, I bring a wealth of lived experience to my supervision practice. I have worked in diverse environments, including several overseas countries, which has broadened my perspective and enhanced my ability to understand and connect with a wide range of individuals and their unique challenges.

My life experiences allow me to offer a grounded, empathetic, and practical approach to supervision, providing a safe space for reflection, growth, and professional development.

Who benefits most from my supervision?

I particularly enjoy working with early career counsellors and those in mid-career who are looking to deepen their practice and navigate professional challenges. My supervision style provides a supportive yet challenging environment for growth.

I also have a strong interest in working with ministers of religion and pastoral workers, whether based in parishes or schools. My background in education and understanding of diverse environments makes me a valuable resource for those seeking clinical and pastoral supervision. My aim is to help you thrive in your important work.
