Supervision

Hi, I’m Valentina — a Clinical Psychologist and Board-Approved Supervisor with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals with complex emotional and health challenges.

In my clinical practice at Soul Soothing Psychology, I work primarily with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and chronic health conditions. My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing on modalities such as Eye Movement Desenzitation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), clinical hypnosis, and Polyvagal-informed nervous system regulation.

Alongside my clinical work, I am passionate about supporting psychologists in their professional development. In supervision, I aim to create a warm, collaborative, and reflective space where clinicians can explore clinical challenges, strengthen their therapeutic skills, and develop confidence in their work.

I see supervision as more than meeting professional requirements — it is an opportunity to deepen clinical thinking, develop your authentic therapeutic style, and reflect on the relational and emotional aspects of therapeutic work.

My supervision style is supportive, curious, and collaborative. I value open dialogue, thoughtful case formulation, and tailoring supervision to your individual learning goals, stage of development, and the Psychology Board of Australia’s core competencies.

I particularly enjoy supporting clinicians who are interested in trauma-informed practice, mind-body approaches, and working with complex presentations.

If you’re looking for a supervisor who values reflection, curiosity, and meaningful professional growth, I’d love to connect and see if we might be a good fit.
