Professional Supervision

A psychologically safe space for trainees, registrars, and established clinicians seeking to develop their practice.

Promoting and Supporting Evidence-Based Care

Professional supervision is a formal, collaborative relationship between a qualified supervisor and supervisee that supports professional development, ethical practice, and quality client care. It’s a cornerstone of ethical psychological practice and a requirement throughout a psychologist’s career.

Supervision provides a structured space for reflection, skill development, case consultation, and professional support. It ensures psychologists maintain high standards of practice while managing the emotional demands of therapeutic work.

Social and emotional functioning refers to a child’s ability to understand, express, and manage their emotions, as well as to interact effectively with others. These skills are fundamental for building positive relationships, developing empathy, and coping with the everyday challenges of growing up.

Children who experience difficulties in social and emotional functioning may struggle with recognizing their own feelings or those of others, regulating emotional responses, or responding appropriately in social situations. This can lead to challenges such as anxiety, low self-esteem, difficulty making friends, or misunderstandings with peers and adults.

In the school environment, social and emotional difficulties can impact a child’s engagement, cooperation, and overall learning experience. Emotional distress may manifest as withdrawal, irritability, or disruptive behaviour, which can further affect academic progress and peer relationships.

Assessment of social and emotional functioning as part of a neuropsychological evaluation typically includes behavioural observations, standardized rating scales, and information gathered from parents, teachers, and sometimes the child. This comprehensive approach helps identify strengths and areas for support in emotional regulation, social skills, and adaptive behaviours.

Understanding a child’s social-emotional profile allows for the development of tailored strategies to enhance emotional wellbeing, build resilience, and improve social communication. Early intervention and supportive environments can empower children to navigate their emotions more effectively, fostering confidence and meaningful connections.

At Offspring Health, we aim to provide transparent information about the costs involved in neurodevelopmental and educational assessments.

Neuropsychological assessments typically involve multiple sessions that usually take between 8 and 16 hours in total, depending on the complexity and individual needs. Our hourly rate is $260, so the total cost typically ranges between $2,300 and $4,230.

Fees generally cover:

Initial consultation and history gathering
Testing sessions where your child will complete various fun and interactive tasks
Liaison with schools or health professionals as needed
Comprehensive case analysis and report preparation
Feedback sessions with families and, where applicable, educators or other professionals

Please note that standard neuropsychological assessments are generally not covered by Medicare. However, some assessments and therapy services may be funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for eligible participants. We recommend discussing funding options with your NDIS planner or support coordinator prior to booking. Private health insurance may offer partial rebates depending on your level of coverage.
