Managing Your Supervision Over the Holidays

The holiday season is just around the corner! It’s a time for rest, celebration, and planning to ensure your supervision runs smoothly. Here are some key reminders to help you navigate this busy period effectively.

Supervision Over the Peak Holiday Season

At Provisional Psychologist Hub, we’re committed to supporting your supervision journey all year round. During the holiday season, here’s how you can stay on track:

• Check in With Your Supervisors: Speak with your principal and secondary supervisors now to find out if they’re planning any leave between December and end of January.
• Book Secondary Supervision Early: If your principal supervisor is unavailable, plan ahead and book secondary supervision sessions. Many of our supervisors will open additional spots during this time to accommodate the holiday season, so you’ll have plenty of options if you organise early.

By planning ahead, you can ensure seamless supervision without interruptions. Use our "Find a Psychology Supervisor" directory, or ask us for help finding the right supervisor for you. Many supervisees also find this to be a great time of year to use up those group supervision sessions you may not have gotten around to booking into. 

Don’t Forget to Cancel Supervision During Your Leave

Planning a well-earned holiday yourself? Here’s a crucial step to avoid unnecessary fees:

• Cancel Appointments in Advance: If you’re taking time off, make sure to cancel your supervision sessions during that period. This will prevent late cancellation fees or charges for missed sessions, especially if you overlook email or SMS reminders while on holiday.

Memberships and Supervision Subscriptions: A Year-Round Service

We understand the holiday season can raise questions about memberships, so here’s what you need to know:

• Memberships Are Continuous: Our memberships and subscriptions don’t have a “hold” option as they are structured for year-round payments for ease of budgeting and payment cycles. 
• Leave Is Already Included: Each membership includes a 4-week leave allowance annually. Your monthly payments are designed to be consistent and affordable, factoring in this leave period.
• Take a Break for Self-Care: Haven’t taken your leave yet? This is a great opportunity to step back, recharge, and prioritise your well-being.

Remember to cancel your supervision for any weeks you’ll be taking leave, ensuring your year-end schedule aligns with your personal plans.  Here is a link to our online portal, select "my appointments" to make changes. https://clientportal.powerdiary.com/clientportal/pph
