IFS-Informed Clinical Supervision & Peer Consultation

For psychologists and registrars seeking reflective, trauma-informed supervision

Available Australia-wide via secure telehealth

As a psychologist, the way you think, feel, and respond in the room matters— not only for your clients, but for your confidence, judgment, and sustainability in practice.. Clinical supervision is not only about decision-making or technique — it directly shapes your therapeutic presence, confidence, and capacity to work safely with clinical complexity.

Roberto offers PsyBA-approved clinical supervision and peer consultation for psychologists and registrars who want a reflective, trauma-aware space to deepen their clinical thinking and professional development.

Supervision is IFS-informed, integrating attachment theory, developmental trauma perspectives, mindfulness-based practice, and principles from interpersonal neurobiology to support depth, coherence, and safety in clinical work.

IFS provides a coherent framework for understanding both client systems and the therapist’s internal responses, while remaining grounded in broader trauma-informed and attachment-based thinking.

What Supervision Can Support

  • Developing greater self-awareness and therapeutic presence

  • Deepening case conceptualisation using an IFS-informed lens

  • Thinking carefully about trauma, attachment, and clinical complexity

  • Integrating memory reconsolidation principles thoughtfully into practice

  • Supporting sustainability in practice through attention to internal balance and self-leadership

My Background and Focus in Supervision

Roberto draws on experience across child protection, acute and community mental health settings, and work with ex-military personnel and first responders.

In supervision, this experience is often reflected through:

  • IFS-Informed Framework – Using IFS concepts to support case formulation and clinical decision-making

  • Trauma-Informed Lens – Understanding the impact of developmental and relational trauma

  • Attachment-Based Perspective – Exploring how early relational patterns may emerge in therapy

  • Work with High-Risk and Complex Presentations – Drawing on experience with ex-military personnel, first responders, and acute mental health contexts

  • Systemic Awareness – Considering individual, relational, and organisational contexts

Supervision is provided in line with PsyBA supervision guidelines and professional standards, supporting ethical, reflective, and developmentally appropriate practice. It is tailored by taking into account developmental needs and scope of practice

Supervision may be helpful whether you are beginning to explore IFS concepts or are an experienced clinician wanting to integrate multiple therapeutic approaches while maintaining clarity, safety, and depth in your work

Please note: While Roberto uses IFS as a primary lens in my clinical work and supervision, he is not an IFS Institute–certified supervisor and cannot provide official supervision toward IFS certification.

Roberto is a PsyBA-approved supervisor for psychologists, and offers IFS-informed supervision intended to enrich clinical practice rather than fulfil IFS certification requirements.

For certification-specific supervision, please refer to the official IFS Institute list of approved supervisors. site IFS Institute to find Supervisors Approved for Certification Support.
