The Supervisory Approach

A professional with extensive experience in the industry, I am highly empathetic with well-developed emotional intelligence offering a sense of warmth, understanding, and compassion. Drawing from my personal and professional journey, I bring a unique perspective and profound understanding to the work. I am a strong advocate for societal change and dedicated to reducing stigma in the areas of; trauma-informed practices, neurodiversity, and mental health

​​

The Supervision approach is is non-judgemental, authentic, productive and supportive while holding space within the professional ethical relationship and holding self care at the forefront. This includes reflection through case discussions, weaving in current and emerging clinical and theoretical underpinnings, and through a lens that is both ethical and mindful of organisational and/or funding barriers.  My commitment to personal development ensures I remain informed of the latest research and best practices in an ever changing environment.

​

My passion for supporting individuals is what led me to this industry and why I have continued on this path, I am passionate about creating meaningful change and inspiring other professionals in their journey towards the same goals, promoting the development of competence and confidence of supervisees. 

​

Outside of work, I prioritise self-care and well-being and strongly believe in the holistic approach of physical and mental wellness to support an overall balance and resilience in the work we do. Engaging in activities such as yoga and other exercise, mindfulness practices, gardening and craft assists me in cultivating a healthy and mindful lifestyle that fuels my creative energy and nurtures my soul.
