Supervision for Dietitians Working in Eating Disorders & Private Practice
At Myrtle Oak Clinic, we provide professional supervision for dietitians working in eating disorders, mental health, and private practice settings across Australia.
Our supervision services support Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs), early career dietitians, and experienced clinicians seeking guidance in the clinical, ethical, emotional, and practical aspects of eating disorder care. We understand that working in private practice eating disorder services requires more than clinical knowledge alone. Dietitians are often navigating complex presentations, multidisciplinary collaboration, clinical governance responsibilities, business pressures, and emotionally demanding client work simultaneously.
Our supervision approach focuses on helping dietitians build:
- decision making
- sustainable and ethical ways of working
- stronger professional identity
- effective multidisciplinary collaboration skills
- practical private practice systems and boundaries
- long-term career sustainability in eating disorder care
We offer supervision for dietitians supporting:
- anorexia nervosa
- bulimia nervosa
- binge eating disorder
- ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)
- disordered eating
- chronic dieting and body image concerns
- paediatric and adolescent eating disorders
- adult eating disorder presentations
- Our supervisors also support clinicians navigating:
- Family Based Therapy (FBT) informed nutrition care
- CBT-E informed dietetic practice
- RAVES-informed approaches
- medical management concerns and escalation pathways
- treatment planning and discharge processes
- care plan structure and session frequency
- multidisciplinary communication with psychologists, psychiatrists, paediatricians, and GPs
- burnout prevention and clinician wellbeing
- ethical and sustainable private practice models

Why Supervision Matters in Eating Disorder Practice
Eating disorder work can be complex, emotionally demanding, and professionally isolating without appropriate support. Regular supervision helps dietitians strengthen clinical confidence, improve client care, develop professional judgement, and maintain sustainable ways of working within private practice and multidisciplinary environments.
At Myrtle Oak Clinic, we believe supervision should feel supportive, practical, thoughtful, and professionally meaningful. Our aim is to help dietitians feel more confident in navigating complexity while also protecting their own wellbeing and longevity within the profession.
