Overview of Supervision and Professional Training

Brief Therapy Solutions is available for professional supervision and consultation in the Southern Highlands,  South - West Sydney and throughout New South Wales and inter-state upon request on a fee for service basis. All supervision offered by BTS is provided by an Accredited Social Worker. Training workshops are offered across the BTS team.

Practicing Social Workers with membership of the Australian Association of Social Workers attract Continuing Professional Education Points supporting accreditation requirements for supervision activities and attendance at workshop training events.

Professional Supervision

New Graduate Supervision

New Graduate Supervision is specifically aimed at new and recent graduates of Social Work and Social Welfare (two years following graduation). Discounted rates for professional supervision apply to workers in their first two years of practice should there be no organisational sponsorship.

Individual and Group Supervision

BTS offers negotiable arrangements in relation to location, frequency and duration of supervision sessions.

Group supervision is available to teams and services. Agency agreements will need to be considered in respect of confidentiality. Groups and teams will be encouraged to consider their needs and goals for supervision and have the opportunity to develop their own content for reflection if desired. Please note all supervision arrangements are subject to the availability of an appropriate worker.

Our preference is to offer supervision in South Western Sydney and the Southern Highlands and the Illawarra regions.

Service Consultation and Professional Training

Service Consultation

BTS is available to provide service consultation on a range of practice strategies with an emphasis on Brief Solution Focussed interventions, managing challenging behaviours, child protection concerns and current research into positive outcomes in psychotherapy.  Service consultations may focus on casework and practice issues or involve policy and management practices.

Professional Training

BTS offers training in several areas of practice. BTS staff have a focus on family interventions, solution focussed therapeutic styles and collaborative problem solving strategies and the context of serious and challenging behaviours. BTS is continually considering and developing training packages providing unique learning opportunities for social workers, psychologists, welfare workers, teachers and family workers to expand on skills in working with dangerous and challenging behaviours in light of family dynamics, domestic violence, behaviour disorders and difficulties and mental health issues. BTS provides training in the form of professional workshops (one or two days) and short seminars (a few hours) with a practice focus on managing challenging and serious behaviours collaboratively and solution focussed intervention styles.
