Melanie Quinn
Psychology

I am a Psychology Board of Australia registered supervisor and offer individual supervision or group supervision and reflective practice programs to psychologists, social workers, counsellors and therapeutic carers. 

 

Practitioners working with complex trauma are vulnerable to vicarious traumatisation. Supervision provides a containing and holding environment to support practitioners to understand challenging behaviours among those they work with, make links to theory, explore the impact of the work on themselves, and think reflectively about responding therapeutically and using evidence-based interventions.

 

Areas of consultation interest include attachment, perinatal mental health, women's health, single incident, complex and developmental trauma, trauma-informed care and well-being. 

 

I also deliver training to organisations including community services, kindergartens and schools in the following areas:

• Trauma Informed Practice

• Understanding Trauma Based Behaviours 

• Attachment

• Incorporating Sensory Motor Interventions into Therapeutic Practice

• Preventing Vicarious Trauma for Professionals
