Another question for you: When reading through the supervision manual it looks like co-supervision is possible, but I’m not seeing a lot about this. Is it possible for me, for example, to have one supervisor for working with eating disorders, and another supervisor to supervise the rest of my work? If so, would supervision be broken down between the supervisors to one hour of supervision with each supervisor per month?Thank you!

If you could send along a supervisors list of clinicians who have experience in eating disorders, that would be fantastic. I’ll be practicing with child/adolescent populations.

Thank you!

Cheers,Sent: January 21, 2021 10:46 PMnSubject: Candidate Register supervision questionsnHi There,I have some questions about finding an appropriate supervisor as a Candidate Register. I’ve reviewed the supervision handout and FAQs on the NSBEP webpage and still have some remaining questions.

In terms of the qualifications of the supervisor:Can a Masters-level psychologist take on this role as long as they meet the other requirements listed in the supervision manual, specifically being registered in N.S. with at least 2 full years’ experience?YesnThe qualifications further list that the supervisor should have training in the area of supervision. I’m wondering how specific this is. I’m interested in taking on some Eating Disorder clients because I have extensive experience with this population from my practica training. However, my potential supervisor does not have this specific experience. My plan would instead to be joining the monthly consultations groups that are offered provincially. Is this a circumstance that could be permitted?In this case, the supervisor should have experience with eating disorders. They do not have to be currently working with the population, but they should have some experience in order to provide supervision to the candidate. Relying solely on the monthly supervisions would not seen as a fair arrangement for the candidate. We can send a Supervisor’s List if you like, which contains some possible names and suggestions for finding another supervisor.

For the qualification of needing at least 2 years of full-time experience as a psychologist – is it possible for one of these years to be as a candidate register, or are these two years after registration? (I think I know the answer to this but wanted to check just to make sure).

nThe Board does not count candidate registration time and generally requires 2 years of full registration in order to provide adequate experience. However, in exceptional cases, the Board would consider a request for a psychologist with 1 year of full registration (e.g, if you can find someone with eating orders experience but only registered for 1 year, and otherwise are having a really hard time securing a supervisor)

Thank you for taking on these questions. I appreciate your time while I explore these next steps.
