Supervision with Di
Clinical and business supervision for speech pathologists and allied health therapists
You're good at what you do. That's never really been the question.
The question is who's holding space for you?

You carry a lot
You carry a lot, and most of it goes unsaid.
It's the complex case you're still thinking about after hours. It's running a practice nobody taught you how to run, saying yes to things you can't afford to turn down, and wondering when you last felt like yourself in this work instead of underneath it.
It's a specific clinical question you don't have anyone to ask. Or it's that you were trained one way and some of it no longer sits right, and you're not sure who you can say that to.
You may be asking yourself:
- Am I making the right call on this case, or just hoping I am?
- How do I keep growing clinically without burning out trying to do it all alone?
- Is it possible to run this practice with more ease, or is exhaustion just the cost of doing it well?
- If I want to bring a more neurodiversity-affirming lens to my work, where do I even start?
If any of that landed, you're not alone in it. You're simply the first person to say it out loud.
1:1 Supervision
1:1 Supervision with Di
A calm, honest space to bring your real questions, not the polished version of them. Whether you need support with a tricky clinical case, help running your practice, or a more neurodiversity-affirming lens on your work, this is mentoring built around what you need, not a fixed curriculum.
This isn't supervision in the box-ticking sense. It's mentoring that meets you exactly where you are, from someone who has lived the realities of clinical work, private practice ownership, and the slow, imperfect shift toward affirming, strengths-based care.
I've been offering supervision for speech pathologists for over a year now, working alongside sole traders, new graduates and small teams who share one thing: somewhere honest to bring the parts of this work nobody else wants to talk about.
Your hour
What a session with Di looks like
Book a single one-hour online session whenever you need one. Come back next week or come back in six months. There's no package to commit to and nothing to sign up for beyond the session itself, just real support exactly when you need it.
In your hour, we work through whatever is real for you right now. That can be:
- A tricky case you can't shake
- Language and literacy intervention
- Executive functioning
- Autism, ADHD and neurodiversity-affirming practice
- The less glamorous side of running a private practice sustainably
Nothing is off limits and nothing needs tidying up before you bring it to me.

The Energy Audit
Line up your hardest work with your best energy
If your week feels unsustainable more often than not, we work through something I teach in supervision called the Energy Audit. It's a simple way of restructuring your day so your most demanding clinical work lines up with the hours you have the energy for it, instead of fighting your own capacity every single day.
Ongoing support
Prefer regular support over booking session by session?
I also offer monthly supervision arrangements for a small number of practices, including Monday to Friday WhatsApp support. Send me a message at [email protected] and we will talk through what that looks like for you.
What changes
What changes when you have real support?
- More clarity in your clinical decisions, whatever the case in front of you
- Practical tools for language, literacy and executive functioning you can use straight away
- A genuinely affirming lens when you want one, without it being the only thing on offer
- Gentle, honest guidance if you're a sole trader or early in your career and making this up as you go
- Mentoring shaped around your values and your pace, not a one-size-fits-all model
- Confidence that comes from being genuinely supported, not from pushing through alone
One therapist who came to supervision rated her confidence delivering affirming care at 0.5 out of 5. After three sessions, she rated herself 4 out of 5. That's what happens when someone finally has space to think instead of just cope.
Why Di
Why work with me for clinical supervision?
I know what it's like to feel unsure, overworked, and completely committed to getting it right for the people in front of you. I've been there, more than once.
I bring more than 17 years as a speech pathologist and 9 years building Perth Hills Allied Health from a single mobile practice into a full clinic. I've navigated the NDIS since before it existed, led a state professional association, and rebuilt my own practice more than once when life made that necessary. That range of clinical, business and personal experience is what I bring to every session, whatever you need from it.
My approach to supervision is curiosity before judgement. I'm not here to evaluate you against some invisible standard. I'm here to understand what is going on and help you find your own way through it, at your own pace, without pretending any of this is easy.
This is about supporting you so you can keep supporting everyone else. It's about helping you feel like yourself in this work again, not just capable of getting through it.

Beyond her clinical work, Di shares what she has learned through podcasts, webinars and training. She is also the founder of The Therapists Haven, a community built on the belief that therapists deserve real belonging too, not just another network to perform in.
Outside of work, Di lives in Roleystone, in the Perth Hills, with her husband Andre, their two sons Joshua and Caleb, two dogs and a cat. Bushwalking is where she goes to think.

Di's supervision gave me more clarity on changing my service model. Her questions were thought provoking, feedback clear and practical, and I left knowing exactly what to focus on next. I highly recommend consulting Di for any practice owner rethinking how they work.
