Individual & Group Supervision
Supervision that honours the intricate relationship between women's health, hormones & mental health.
Supporting therapists and counsellors who hold the deeply nuanced and personal experiences of women across the lifespan — with supervision that is informed, reflective and genuinely supportive.
Specialist supervision in the area of women's health provides much needed support to practitioners and women, bringing understanding to the whole picture - a level of care women deserve.
Why specialist supervision matters
Women's health therapy sits at the intersection of psychology, physiology, identity and social context. The clients you work with may be navigating reproductive loss, hormonal transitions, life changes, chronic illness, birth trauma or having taken on the medicalisation of the female body which is often dismissed or misunderstood.
As counsellors/therapists, understanding these sometimes complexities is a responsibility. Generic supervision, may not always provide the depth of understanding that this specialised field requires. Supervision with a focus on women's health gives you a space where the complexity of your casework is truly understood and where you can develop your practice to support women in ways they need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to specialise in women's health to access this supervision?
No. Many supervisees come to this supervision because women's health topics are emerging in their caseload and they want better-informed support. You don't need to be an established specialist — curiosity and commitment to learning are enough.
Is this supervision accreditable?
Yes. Supervision hours are documented and can contribute to your ongoing professional development requirements with the Australian Counselling Association. Please confirm your specific body's requirements with your own records.
How often should I attend supervision?
Professional bodies typically recommend a minimum of one hour of supervision per month, though this varies by caseload, experience level, and the nature of the work. We'll discuss what's appropriate for your situation at the outset.
How is confidentiality handled in group supervision?
All group members agree to a clear confidentiality contract at the start. Client details are anonymised and group members are held to the same professional standards as in individual supervision. The group agreement is revisited regularly to maintain trust and safety.
Do you offer a consultation before committing to supervision?
Yes — an initial consultation is offered before supervision begins. This is an opportunity to discuss your practice, your supervision needs, and whether we're a good fit for each other. There's no obligation to proceed.
Is supervision available online?
Yes. Both individual and group supervision are available online via a secure video platform, making it accessible to practitioners across the country and, where appropriate, internationally.
What women say...
I always learn something new about the female body when I listen to Sara's presentations, things I feel I should already know at the age of 50. Sara's presentation supports me to know that the way my body feels is the result of how I am living so therefore responsibility is key - and this I share with other women too. I have learnt the importance of self nuturing and how stress impacts on the body. Sara presents in such a gentle uniposing way sharing a wealth of knowledge and wisdom for all.
JACQUELINE, 50 / UK
Sara Harris consistently presents the 'seemingly complex' as actually very simple… empowering women through deeper understanding of our bodies, and encouraging us to forge our own relationships with our bodies as women. In a world that asks us to 'get on with it' and rarely offers true encouragement of intimacy with our own bodies, the cycles we are under and changes that can be occurring, this is deeply supportive. Without this, true appreciation and nurturing of ourselves is simply not possible. The buck indeed stops with us, these presentations and programs offering a wealth of resources to ignite the deeper enquiry and indeed, richness that is ever on offer. Thank-you Sara
VICTORIA, 53 / Australia
Support through these presentations helped me feel more in the loop with the next phase of my life. Before it, I had no clue really what menopause meant, particularly the (what I now sense is) beautiful blossoming of the next phase of womanhood. It helped me understand some of the symptoms of peri-menopause I'm experiencing too.

About Sara's Approach
In some regards, a woman’s health can be complex and yet at the same time, when we bring connection and education to the table, it is very simple. Sara works from the foundational understanding that every woman has the capacity to feel deeply settled and that this is her natural state. In working with any area of a woman’s health, the development of her relationship with her body is key, so that she may feel empowered rather than at the mercy of her body or what she is experiencing.
Sara's personal experience and growth as a woman and the roles that have come with that, along with her 20+ years experience in wellbeing, a Masters of Women's Health Medicine & Masters of counselling, brings a rich tapestry of support to her sessions and groups.
