2027 Supervision Dates
I offer two distinct group supervision experiences in 2027 — both online via Zoom, both designed to support your growth as a reflective, skilled, and sustainable practitioner. Best suited for newer counsellors (0-5 years in practice).You are welcome to join one or both.
Ongoing Consultation Groups
Ongoing consultation groups are closed groups — the same small group of practitioners meets together across a set period of time. This consistency builds trust, depth, and a genuine sense of professional community.
Groups are offered in two formats to suit different schedules and commitments:
- 5-Month Cohorts — groups that run for 5 consecutive months, offered at various start points throughout the year. Each group meets monthly for a 2-hour session, giving you 5 sessions of focused group supervision over the cohort period.
- Year-Long Bimonthly Groups — groups that run for the full calendar year on an alternating monthly model. Group sessions are held every other month, with individual or dyadic supervision booked in the alternating months — so you have supervision support every single month of the year.
Both formats include:
- Group sessions — 2 hours via Zoom with the same closed group of practitioners
- Individual or dyadic sessions booked in the alternating or off months with your primary supervisor
- Peer dyadic sessions encouraged between group members — building those peer connections is a valuable resource alongside your individual work
- A complimentary 25-minute individual supervision session included for all group members
Group size: Minimum 4, maximum 8 participants
Investment: $87.50 per 2-hour session (includes GST), paid per session
New cohorts are added throughout the year. The groups currently available for 2027 are listed below. Check back for additional start dates or contact Melody directly to be added to a waitlist for an upcoming cohort.
This structure means you have supervision support every single month — and can plan your full calendar year in advance.

Specialty Themed Supervision Sessions
Specialty themed supervision sessions are best suited for new counsellors (approx. 0-5 years in practice) — you do not need to be part of an ongoing consultation group to attend. Each session is a focused 2-hour deep dive into a specific clinical theme, designed to sharpen your skills, expand your thinking, and connect you with a small group of like-minded practitioners.
Sessions are standalone — come to the themes that resonate with where you are in your practice right now. Or attend multiple sessions and experience a carefully sequenced year of clinical and personal growth.
Format: Online via Zoom | Tuesdays 10:00am – 12:00pm MDT | Group size: Minimum 4, maximum 8 participants per session
Note: If a session does not reach minimum enrollment, registered participants will be notified in advance and will be offered a credit toward a future session or a refund.
How the Year Builds
The twelve themes are organized into four phases — each one deepening the last. Every session stands completely on its own, and together they form a rich arc of clinical learning across the year.
🟣 Phase 1 — Foundations (January & February)
The therapeutic relationship and the therapist's inner world — the ground beneath everything else.
🔵 Phase 2 — Clinical Presentations (March through June)
Trauma, grief, anxiety, and shame — the most common and complex presentations in most therapy practices.
🟠 Phase 3 — Complexity & Crisis (July through September)
Personality disorders, suicidality, and substance use — staying grounded when the work is hardest.
🟢 Phase 4 — Therapist & Practice (October through December)
Cultural humility, burnout, and endings — sustaining ourselves and our work for the long term.
