PROFESSIONALS

Resources and Training For Helping Professionals

Supervision and Consultancy

I am passionate about supervising and mentoring other counselling and health professionals. I offer group supervision to both government and non-government organisations, travelling extensively throughout South East Queensland to support mental health and counselling teams. My goal is to help teams reflect on their clients' needs and develop effective treatment plans for high-quality care. Single session team debriefing sessions are available, and online group supervision is also available upon request.

I am available for consultancy on organisational projects. By applying systemic principles, organisations can enhance the functioning of their service, resulting in improved relational dynamics, enhanced communication, conflict resolution, and supporting staff to navigate change. 


For more information about this service and the fee schedule for various types of supervision and consultancy, please contact me directly drkateowen@gmail.com and 0408 528 380.

The Systemic Way: Integrative Systemic Practice: A Contemporary Framework with Dr Kate Owen and Dr Leonie White

In this episode I discuss the Queensland Institute of Family Therapy's (QIFT) meta framework for integrative practice with co-founder Leonie.  We talk about how practitioners are embracing an integrative approach and our experience of developing the framework.

Topics covered include:  

The main elements of the framework 

How integrative differs from traditional approaches in family therapy 

What it contributes to the wider systemic field 

Throughout the conversation we discuss case examples and teaching points about the model.

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."
