Join us on 7 April 2026, 12:30 pm (AEDT) for a 90 min, live workshop hosted by the Australian Educational and Developmental Psychology Association. While the session will be recorded, participants are strongly encouraged to attend live.

Clinical Supervision is regarded as highly integral to professional development. It is the “signature pedagogy” of choice in psychotherapy.

Yet, recent research, replication study, and systematic review suggest that traditional supervision makes little or no impact on actual client outcome.

Despite significant investments of time, money, and effort, therapists and supervisors struggle to effectively translate their hard work in the therapy room.

In this talk, we will not only challenge the status quo, but also help supervisors and supervisees reap actual developmental and client benefits within a specific supervisory framework.

This session will be particularly relevant for supervisors, Board-approved supervisors, clinical leads, and early-career psychologists seeking to strengthen the impact of their supervision work. It will also be valuable for supervisees who want to engage more actively and intentionally in their own professional development. The focus is on translating supervision from a reflective exercise into a structured process that meaningfully improves clinical effectiveness and client outcomes.

About the presenter

Dr Daryl Chow is a practising psychologist, trainer, and researcher who has spent much of his career thinking about a deceptively simple question: how do therapists actually get better at what they do? He is a senior associate with the International Center for Clinical Excellence (ICCE) and is widely known for his work on deliberate practice and the development of clinical expertise.

Daryl was part of the team that published the first study on deliberate practice in psychotherapy, which was nominated for the American Psychological Association’s “Most Valuable Paper,” and he is a co-author of Better Results and A Field Guide to Better Results. Alongside his clinical and training work, he writes and podcasts about learning, supervision, and professional growth, with a strong focus on helping therapists become more intentional, reflective, and effective in their everyday practice.

He is often described as “a therapist for therapists,” bringing a thoughtful, grounded, and deeply practical perspective to how clinicians learn, develop, and sustain their work over time.
