Training for Provisional Psychologists in Alberta
Rockland Psychology offers external clinical supervision provided by Julia Denyer, MA, R.Psych , Owner & Clinical Director at Rockland Psychology Inc.
Whether you’re building competency toward registration or seeking ongoing consultation, supervision is grounded in evidence-informed practice, ethical decision-making, and a warm, collaborative approach.
External Clinical Supervision
Steady, supportive supervision that strengthens clinical skill and confidence
Quick note — This service is available only for mental health counselling and treatment (not assessment, diagnosis, or services outside the mental health counselling/treatment scope).
-
External supervision may be a fit if you are:
A provisional or early-career clinician needing structured oversight and skill development
A practising counsellor or therapist seeking case consultation, support with complexity, or ethical guidance
A clinician looking for a consistent, outside perspective to enhance clinical reasoning and client outcomes
This offering is designed specifically for mental health counselling and treatment. If your practice needs fall outside that scope, we can help you explore more appropriate referral options.
-
Supervision is tailored to your setting, client population, and professional goals. Sessions may include:
Consultation — case conceptualization, risk considerations, scope, and next steps
Teaching — targeted skill-building, interventions, and clinical frameworks that fit your orientation
Collaborative treatment planning — clear goals, measurable progress markers, and responsive adjustments over time
Observation — as appropriate, including review of clinical material to strengthen technique and decision-making
Debriefing — support after challenging sessions and complex clinical situations
Ethical dilemmas & practice questions — documentation, boundaries, informed consent, confidentiality, and professional standards
Approach — Expect a respectful balance of encouragement and constructive feedback, with a focus on clinical clarity, ethics, and sustainable practice.
-
To support accurate tracking of your supervision and clinical hours, you’ll receive a custom-made practice-hour tracking template you can maintain throughout your provisional period.
Minimum supervision ratio: plan for 1 hour of supervision for every 15 clinical hours worked.
We’ll also clarify how you’re tracking clinical activities, supervision topics, and learning goals so your records are consistent, complete, and easy to reference when needed.

Workshop delivery is billed at $235 per hour for the time we are actively presenting and facilitating. This includes the workshop itself plus any question periods or interactive components. Workshops can range from 90-minute overview sessions to full-day intensive training, depending on your needs.
