Clinical Supervision
Guiding Excellence in Paediatric Occupational Therapy.
We understand that growing as a paediatric Occupational Therapist requires more than training. It requires mentorship from those who have navigated the journey themselves. At Sensia Alied Health, our specialised supervision service is designed for early to mid‑career Occupational Therapists committed to excellence in paediatric practice.
Guided by a senior clinician with over 15 years of paediatric OT experience and formal training through the Occupational Therapy Australia (OTA) Supervision Program, we support therapists to strengthen clinical reasoning, refine interventions, and navigate complex client assessments with clarity and confidence.
Professional supervision helps therapists build resilience, enhance ethical decision making, and sustain high-quality practice. It’s more than discussion; it’s tailored mentorship that supports your ongoing development, reflective practice, and professional growth.
