A unique and supportive approach to professional development — person-centred philosophy, who I help, and how I empower you to overcome challenges and achieve your goals.
At Roger Vallance Supervision, I provide a range of specialised supervision services designed to foster growth and address your professional needs. The focus is on deep listening and a person-centred approach, ensuring your goals are at the heart of our work together. Confidentiality is the first step towards the trust-sharing and listening in supervision.
Supporting beginning, in-training, and mid-career counsellors to enhance their practice, with a foundation in confidentiality and professional boundaries.
For educational leaders, ministers, and pastoral workers — a confidential, safe space to build capacity and resilience.
Working with adolescents to navigate the unique challenges of secondary and tertiary education environments, confidentially and out of school hours.
TEND or Zoom for online sessions, or in-person at my professional office in Paddington, Brisbane.
What makes supervision special? Unwavering commitment to accepting you as you are and listening intensely to your perceptions and story. I focus on your goals and expressed needs, providing a truly tailored and effective supervisory experience.
It can be helpful to walk with another to explore the five Ps of self-reflection:
Supervision can be a highly valued strength-building relationship — not only in times of stress or high emotion, but as leverage to professional efficacy.
Whether student, educational leader, counsellor, minister, pastor, or parish worker, we all experience challenges and difficulties. Sometimes these are part of the environment, sometimes arising within ourselves, and at other times a misunderstanding or lack of clear communication.
Speaking to an external person in a confidential and safe space — someone not involved, who can hear clearly without preconceived ideas — can lead to better self-reflection, efficacy towards positive action, and a clearer focus on next steps.
“In addition to his direct counselling work, Roger has made a significant contribution to the profession through supervision and mentoring. He has been strongly committed to providing placement opportunities for counsellors in training and has offered ongoing clinical supervision to practising counsellors and interns. His supervisory style is thoughtful, supportive, and appropriately challenging, and is underpinned by a strong ethical framework and a genuine commitment to reflective practice. Roger also offers pastoral supervision to those working in ministry and parish roles.”
Whether you're a beginning or experienced counsellor, an experienced pastoral worker, or an adolescent facing school-related pressures, these services are tailored to support your unique journey. I have extensive experience working with diverse professionals and young individuals.
