Hi, I'm Claire Trevitt

I'm a psychologist who has been supervising provisional psychologists for nearly 20 years. I understand the challenges of navigating the internship process because I've been there myself and remember how hard it was trying to make sense of everything.  Over the years, I have developed a range of straightforward and practical resources to make the internship easier.

I created this program so that provisional psychologists like you can spend supervision sessions focussing on developing your skills and supporting your clients, not getting bogged down in paperwork.

In case you have more questions...

How long will I have access to the program?

You'll have access to the program for 12 months, or until you have finished your internship. If you are completing the internship part-time please contact me at hello@thegrowingtherapist.com.au for an extension.

I've already started my internship. Will the content still be applicable?

It depends. If you are falling behind or putting off some of the tasks because you are feeling overwhelmed or not sure what is required, then the content will be relevant and useful for you. If you have a clear grasp of what is required but need support with specific skills or competencies, then my supervision groups might be a better fit for you.

Can I share the content with my colleagues who are provisional psychologists?

If you think your fellow provisional psychologists would benefit from the content please feel free to tell them about the program, but they will need to enrol separately to get access to the content and materials. The enrolment fee is per person.

Can I get a discount if I purchase this program for several staff members?

If you would like to purchase this program for three or more employees, please contact me to arrange a discounted fee for multiple enrolments.

What is the refund policy?

Refunds are not generally provided for digital products, as the content and resources will be immediately available upon enrolment. Accepting the terms and conditions is a condition of purchase.

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where I work and live, the Gadigal people. I pay respects to Elders past, present and emerging. I celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.
