David Lopis

I am the business owner of Psychology Squared, and I am a Psychology Board approved supervisor for the 4+2/5+1. My key focus is supporting other psychologists achieve their full registration. I am a Registered Psychologist focused on supporting you with your supervision requirements.

 I work with individuals and groups across Australia using Zoom.  The use of technology means appointment times can be flexible, and I offer an online booking system for ease. I am based in Melbourne, and only run supervision on Zoom.

Intervention and assessment are important skills to develop as a psychologist.  When working with Psychologists (including pre-registration, provisional pathways and post provisional), we spend time on formulation, treatment planning, diagnosis exploration, and ethical dilemmas. I like to talk with psychologists about both broad understanding using general examples, and dive into specifics.  Importantly, my supervision focus is based on your needs and I am intent on making your internship as manageable as possible.

My personal experience includes school-based psychological supports, including crisis and risk management, mandatory reporting, child safety, suicidality, and self-harm.  I have also worked with adults, with workers in EAP and had experience in private practice and community work.

My role as a supervisor includes logbook management, case report work including editing, individual and group sessions, and working through the required AHPRA tasks.  I have engaged a team around me that also support others with NPE preparation (please note: not coaching), school counselling skills and resource creation.

To get started with supervision, I welcome your contact to ensure we are a good fit, and that I understand your needs.
