Meet Your Supervisor, Nicole Kopel
Attending supervision myself for the past 8 years has been imperative to my practice and enabled me to continue working and growing as a dietitian.
I have experience in community health dietetics and health promotion, however, the majority of my time working as a dietitian has been in private practice, both my own and in group practice. My practice Eat in Peace caters exclusively to people with eating disorders, disordered eating, mental health and body image concerns.
I enjoy providing professional supervision to early career and new graduate dietitians. Particularly, those who are beginning to work in the areas of eating disorders, private practice, and who aim to take a trauma-informed, non-diet and weight-inclusive approach to the care of their clients.
Think we’d be a good fit?
Here’s How Clinical Supervision Works
1. 15-minute ‘Good Fit’ call
Send me an inquiry to book a complimentary Zoom call to see if we are a good fit. During this call, I’ll explain what you can expect during a supervision session with me, session fees and answer any of your questions.
2. Supervision onboarding
If you’d like to proceed, I’ll book you in for your first supervision session and send you a supervision contract and intake form. These need to be completed and returned before our first meeting.
3. Meet for supervision!
I recommend meeting approximately monthly. Supervision sessions are 50 minutes long and we’ll meet over Zoom or in person. Between sessions, you are welcome to contact me with any practice concerns, and we can organise additional sessions if needed.
My Tips for Effective Supervision
- Bring to supervision anything you’d like to talk about (think: client cases, professional development attended, your reaction and responses to different client situations, career progression discussions, treatment and counselling questions, navigating being part of a team etc.)
- You don’t need an agenda, but you will be leading the session and the content so there’s an expectation you’ll come prepared.
- You might like to keep a reflective practice journal to bring to sessions (this can help with setting your agenda!)
- Be brave. This is dedicated time for you and your practice, and you will get most out of our sessions if you are willing to get vulnerable, just like we ask our clients to!
