Professional Supervision

Supervision provides a dedicated space to pause, reflect and deepen professional practice. Whether navigating complex clinical work, ethical dilemmas, professional transitions or the emotional impact of supporting others, supervision offers an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and strengthen both professional practice and a grounded sense of self within the work.

I have been a Registered Social Worker for 15 years with experience working alongside individuals, families and communities across mental health, trauma, family violence, alcohol and other drug services, and the perinatal sector.

As a Registered Social Worker and Certified Hakomi Therapist, my approach integrates mindful, body-centred awareness with a systemic and relational lens.

I provide individual and group supervision for professionals working across health, education, mental health and community settings, including:

  • Social Workers

  • Counsellors and Therapists

  • Midwives and Doulas

  • Teachers and Educators

  • Students and newly qualified practitioners

  • Health and community professionals working with individuals, couples and families

Clinical Practice:

  • Clinical reflection and case formulation

  • Clinical decision-making

  • Trauma-informed practice

  • Ethical dilemmas and professional judgement

  • Risk assessment and safety planning

  • Working with complexity and uncertainty

Reflective Practice:

  • Development of mindfulness and dual awareness

  • Transference, countertransference and parallel process

  • The therapeutic relationship and use of self

  • Exploring how personal history, values, beliefs and lived experience influence practice

  • Systems thinking, organisational dynamics and power

  • Mindful and body-centred awareness in clinical work

Practitioner Wellbeing:

  • Self-care and practitioner wellbeing

  • Vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and burnout

  • Sustainable and reflective ways of working

  • Professional Development

  • Building confidence in complex clinical work

  • Identifying growth edges and areas for development

  • Professional identity and career pathways

A central focus of my supervision is understanding the relational and systemic dynamics that inevitably arise between practitioner and client. This includes transference, countertransference, parallel process, and the ways personal history, values, beliefs, lived experience and the nervous system shape the therapeutic relationship and influence clinical practice. A systemic perspective also recognises how family, culture, organisations, power and wider social contexts influence both practitioner and client. As practitioners, it is important to recognise the scope and limits of our practice, and to seek additional knowledge, consultation or specialist support when needed. I hold the same expectation of myself as a supervisor. Where concerns fall outside my scope of practice or expertise, this will be discussed openly and, where appropriate, additional supervision, consultation or specialist guidance will be recommended.
