Professional Supervision helps members of the healthcare and community services professions to reflect on best practice, grow their network and increase their resilience. Our supervision spaces are confidential, collaborative, and empowering. They are designed to help you process, learn, and thrive, both personally and professionally.
We provide professional supervision in Brisbane, Logan, Toowoomba, Gold Coast, Scenic Rim, Ipswich and surrounding areas by phone, online, and in-person.
At Footsteps, we understand that behind every professional title – counsellor, social worker, support worker, youth worker, mental health practitioner and more – is a person navigating complex emotions, heavy workloads, and sometimes personal challenges of their own. That’s why our supervision isn’t limited to clinical discussions. It’s a space to reflect, reset, and reconnect with your purpose.
Professional Supervision is a reflective, debriefing practice with a qualified supervisor in a self-reflective process. Supervision helps to protect the wellbeing of our professional community by reducing the impact of burnout and compassion fatigue, and providing professionals with the appropriate tools and techniques to effectively respond to client behaviours.
As on the ground practitioners ourselves, we recognise the unique role you play and the daily realities you face. Whether it’s the emotional toll of your work, systemic pressures, or navigating ethical dilemmas, we’re here to walk alongside you with empathy and insight.
At Footsteps, we also place a strong emphasis on ongoing professional development, self-care, and sustainability in practice. We believe that supervision should not only support your current caseload but also nurture your growth, resilience, and well-being over time. In a sector where burnout and compassion fatigue are real risks, prioritising yourself isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.
Our supervision is always individualised, shaped around your current role, your challenges, and your aspirations. We regularly review the process with you to make sure it continues to meet your evolving professional and personal needs.
Because at Footsteps, we know that when you’re well supported, you’re better equipped to support others, and in this work, you should never have to walk alone. Your work matters and so do you.
All professionals in caring professions, whether experienced or just starting out, will benefit from a supervisor for debriefing, discussing new approaches, and enhancing their knowledge and skills.
Participating in regular supervision also supports organisations to continue to meet employment obligations and the continuing professional development requirements of many professional associations.
Businesses operating across caring professions need to take extra care to protect the mental health and wellbeing of their teams. Along with supporting professionals, engaging in supervision also supports the delivery of high-quality services to members of our community.
