SCPS Health Psychology Supervision Services
Supervision that supports applied Health Psychology practice across career stages
Health Psychologists face a variety of challenges at different points in their careers. Supervision needs often change over time — from developing applied competence during training, to managing complexity, leadership responsibilities & service-level decision-making in senior roles.
​
Our supervision and meta-supervision services provide a confidential, reflective space to support professional judgement, ethical practice, service management and professional sustainability, from trainee through to senior and consultant Health Psychologist roles.
​
Our approach to supervision
Supervision that reflects the realities of applied Health Psychology practice.
​
​Our supervision services are grounded in extensive experience of applied Health Psychology practice across public health, healthcare, consultancy and independent settings.
We offer independent, confidential supervision that supports reflective practice, professional judgement and ethical decision-making, without interfering with workplace relationships or organisational hierarchies. We provide a trusted voice that it focused on you and your career.
​
Supervision with SCPS is informed by real-world service and system experience, recognising that Health Psychologists often work at the intersection of clinical work, behaviour change, leadership and organisational demands. This allows supervision to remain relevant across roles, contexts and career stages.
In-training & Early Career HPs
Our supervision typically focuses on developing applied competence, confidence & professional judgement, supporting integration of theory, evidence & intervention skills into real-world practice.
Experienced / Senior HPs

Consultant level HPs/ Management
Our supervision & meta-supervision typically focuses on leadership, service management, governance and professional sustainability, providing space to reflect on responsibility, influence and system-level decision-making.
01
In-training and early career Health Psychologists
​
For people in-training or isolated from health psychologists in their workplace, our support provides a vital connection to the profession & robust methods for learning & developing knowledge and skills.
Supervision for trainee's and the newly qualified focuses on supporting the development of applied competence, confidence and professional identity. It provides space to think through assessment, formulation, intervention planning and evaluation, while integrating Health Psychology theory and evidence into real-world practice.
​
Supervision also supports trainees and early career Health Psychologists to navigate uncertainty, workplace feedback and the demands of training or transition into independent practice. Alongside meeting competency and assessment requirements, the emphasis is on developing reflective thinking and professional judgement that will support safe, ethical practice beyond training.

02
Qualified and Senior Health Psychologists
​
For qualified and experienced Health Psychologists, supervision often shifts towards managing increasing complexity across roles, settings and client groups and thoughts about career development, building skills to move into more senior roles and contributions to the development of our profession. Supervision supports reflective practice, ethical evidence based decision-making and the refinement of judgement as practitioners work with greater autonomy and responsibility, while developing a less manualised approach to client work.
​
At this stage, supervision may focus on challenges such as balancing multiple roles, managing boundaries, responding to complex presentations, or working across organisational and system constraints. Supervision provides space to reflect critically on practice, maintain professional standards and support sustainable, effective work over time.

03
Senior and Consultant Health Psychologists/ Supervisory and management roles
​
For Health Psychologists at this level of expertise, supervision usually extends into leadership, service development, governance, responsibilities associated with overseeing others’ practice (supervision, performance management, in-training and qualified). Supervision becomes a space to reflect on influence, accountability and decision-making within complex organisational systems. If the aspiration is to take on Consultant level roles this is a key focus for CPD and skills development.
​
Consultants want to focus on supervision and meta-supervision that supports reflective leadership, ethical oversight and professional sustainability in senior roles. This includes space to think about service management, supervision of others, organisational pressures and maintaining professional identity in roles that can be both influential and isolating. Wider considerations on career progression, CPD needs as well as planning semi-retirement and end of career.

Other Reasons for Booking Supervision
​
Supervision provides a great space to process the learning from our training events and to plan for implementation of new knowledge and skills in-line with the HCPC CPD requirements. Many of our training events include supervision sessions so that you can make the most of the experience and to consult with Sasha.
People often want a space to think through dilemma's with an experienced health psychologist who provides a neutral independent viewpoint. Health psychologists often find that as they progress in their career they encounter situations that they want to reflect on, in a safe, non-workplace environment, away from their day to day work environment and from the colleagues who are involved in their dilemmas, such as making tough decisions, dealing with complaints, professional mistakes, CPD audits, for career planning meetings, interview preparation, changing specialism, retirement planning, significant life events or "return to work" refresher sessions.
