Psychology Supervisors at HMC

At Healthy Mind Centre, we offer both individual and group supervision for psychologists at various stages of their careers. Whether you're completing a 5+1 internship, a clinical registrar program, or looking for professional development, our Board-Approved Supervisors provide a supportive space for growth. Individual supervision is available with Emma Langley and Catherine Bishop, while our group supervision program is facilitated by Catherine, with contributions from other supervisors such as Michaela Young, Annie Fitzgerald, Rachel Murray, and Olivia Boer.

Catherine Bishop

Catherine is a Board-Approved Supervisor with the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA) who is able to provide primary or secondary supervision to supervisees undertaking their 4+2, 5+1, or clinical registrar program. Catherine is eager to support provisional psychologists, clinical psychology registrars, and those new to the psychology profession, to build on their core competencies as a psychologist.

She believes that a good supervisory relationship is key for supervisees to be able to safely explore their current level of competency and set goals that will enhance their development and identity as psychologists. Catherine endeavours to be genuine and empathic in her supervisory approach to create a safe space for supervisees to engage in self-reflection and critical thinking. She is particularly passionate about ensuring that supervisees balance their professional endeavours with self-care to maintain their own sense of well-being so that they can better support both themselves and others.

Catherine encourages supervisees to explore barriers to self-care such as experience of imposter syndrome and perfectionism (concerns that are very common among psychologists!) and problem-solving ways to improve work-life balance. She views her role as a supervisor as supporting supervisees to obtain the knowledge and skills they need to be an effective psychologist as well as to facilitate and encourage reflection on strengths and areas for future growth.

Catherine understands that commencing work as an allied health professional and planning how to develop core competencies can be a daunting process and she hopes to provide a supportive space from which to do this. Further information about Catherine, including her clinical experience, therapeutic approaches, and client presentations that she commonly works with, can be found here.

Catherine is currently accepting enquiries for Primary and Secondary Supervision, and Ad Hoc Supervision.

Emma Langley

As a Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA) Board-Approved Supervisor, Emma can support supervisees on placements, 5+1 internships, or clinical registrar programs, with a focus on neurodiversity-affirming practice.

Emma has a strong interest in conducting comprehensive diagnostic assessments and tailoring reports for diverse audiences. She is also deeply passionate about supporting and advocating for neurodivergent clients and creatively tailoring evidence-based therapies to meet individual needs. In supervision, Emma creates a secure and inclusive space with her authentic and empathetic approach.

Emma places a strong emphasis on making work more efficient and enjoys supporting supervisees in minimising unnecessary demands. She aims to ease the steep learning curve for early career clinicians and helps all clinicians prioritise what matters most in their practice. At the same time, Emma is dedicated to helping supervisees balance professional growth with self-care, encouraging self-reflection, critical thinking, and thoughtful discussions. She fosters a supportive environment for exploring supervisees' experiences, promoting reflection on both strengths and areas for growth.

Emma is dedicated to empowering supervisees with the knowledge and skills needed to become self-aware, well-rounded clinicians. She helps them refine their clinical judgment while understanding the broader context of their practice. Through case discussions and scenario exploration, Emma bridges the gap between theory and practice, fostering a comprehensive approach to professional development. She also supports supervisees in seeing the "big picture," encouraging them to apply their learning across different contexts and develop a deeper understanding of their roles as clinicians.

Emma’s supervision style is grounded in a commitment to neurodiversity-affirming practices and is characterised by a genuine, empathic approach. She values thoughtful discussions and takes a holistic view of supervisees' development, ensuring they feel supported while encouraging a balance between their professional growth and personal well-being.

Emma is currently accepting enquiries for Secondary Supervision and Ad Hoc Supervision.
