Tess Counselling

Therapist’s Supervision Melbourne:

Reflect, Grow, and Enhance Your Practice

Feeling unsure or stuck? Supervision isn’t just about meeting professional requirements—it’s about creating a reflective space to grow, thrive, and deliver your best work.

Let’s work together to ensure you feel supported while supporting your clients. Whether you are an early-career therapist or an experienced therapist, supervision in Melbourne is the cornerstone of sustainable, ethical, and inspired practice.

Supervision for Therapists:

Supporting You So You Can Support Others

Good supervision is more than a box to tick—it’s the foundation of ethical practice and a vital part of mindful self-care for mental health professionals.

As a qualified ACA Supervisor (having completed the Australian Counselling Association Supervisor’s course), I draw inspiration from Daphne Hewson and Michael Carroll’s Reflective Practice in Supervision (2016). Their philosophy—“the best teachers are within ourselves”—shapes my approach to Therapist’s Supervision in Camberwell, fostering a collaborative and empowering relationship.

I cannot speak highly enough of Tess- her warmth, care and compassion, her intelligence and knowledge that she brings to every session are truly incredible. She draws on a wealth of experience and deep understanding. Tess has guided me through some very challenging times in my life, always with kindness, a non-judgemental attitude, curiosity and showing me how to act with compassion and love towards myself. I am very grateful for the journey that we have been on together and the deep work that we continue to do collaboratively. It has made such a difference to my life, to my interpersonal relationships and my relationship with myself. Her great sense of humour and reflections are a wonderful antidote. Thank you so much Tess!

My partner and I began seeing Tess for 'preventative' therapy when we started dating 2 years ago, and she has helped us to build an incredible foundation for our life together. Tess is compassionate and insightful, and we come out of every session with new insights that help us understand each other, and ourselves, better - even when we think we've analysed the problem from every angle, Tess surprises us with an insight that unlocks repair and healing. Tess has also taught us the power of tapping for self-regulation, and this has helped us de-escalate many situations before they escalate. Thank you so much Tess for being with us through our issues big and small!

A Wonderful experience- Looking forward to more Sessions I’ve had two sessions with Tess so far, and I’m genuinely excited to see where this journey takes me. My daughter recommended Tess after experiencing many sessions with her, and I can see why she speaks so highly of her. Tess has a reputation for being incredibly kind and effective, and she truly lives up to it. From the very beginning, Tess made me feel comfortable and heard. She has a unique ability to connect and get to the heart of what’s important to me, which felt almost intuitive. It’s like she has a sixth sense for understanding how I feel and what I need. Her approach is a beautiful balance of compassion, expertise and experience kind, she’s non-judgmental in a way that allows me to be completely open without fear of criticism. Her knowledge is vast, and it’s clear that she has a wealth of experience to draw from. But what stands out most is her ability to tailor her techniques to fit my personal situation. I feel like I’m in very capable hands, and I can already sense the positive shifts after just a couple of sessions. I’m looking forward to continuing my work with Tess and seeing where the process leads. If you’re looking for someone who combines warmth with expertise, Tess is definitely someone you should consider.

I’m deeply grateful for the support and healing Tess has facilitated in me. Through our work together, I’ve experienced profound growth in both my interpersonal relationships and the relationship I have with myself. My emotional regulation and communication with loved ones have improved significantly, and I feel more grounded and connected than ever. Tess has a remarkable ability to guide me to the deeper issues beneath the surface while ensuring I never feel too raw or exposed in the process. Her approach is both gentle and effective, creating a space that feels safe, compassionate, and transformative. I’ve recommended Tess to friends and family who have also experienced meaningful healing under her guidance. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Tess helped me heal and cope after being in an abusive marriage. I highly recommend her. She was understanding and guided me with achievable coping strategies that greatly improved mental health and helped balance my nervous system.

Wow, where to start! I feel like I owe Tess so much; not only has she helped me see and deal with the toxicity that had surrounded me for so long, she has also helped me understand and embrace my true self. Tess’s gentle guidance, wisdom and empathy are a gift for anyone that needs help navigating relationships that don’t feel right. I can’t express how much Tess has helped me and can only recommend that you consider her for your counselling!

Tess clearly identified issues within my relationship immediately and more accurately than any other therapist had done before. She always works with kindness and offers a wholistic follow up and care.
