My interest is in critical reflective supervision with the use of an eclectic approach aimed at professional development and quality practice, while managing possible challenging dynamics. I strongly believe in connection (whakapapa), exploring and embracing individual’s journey. I work with a range of challenges that includes but not limited to, managing performance, challenging case load, team dynamics, self-care, assessments, intervention strategies and ethical dilemmas. My social worker experience has been predominantly in care and protection. I offer supervision via skype or by phone. I am open to face to face dependent on location and time.

My approach is based on Margaret Morrel’s Reflective and Developmental approach. I believe in the principals and values of Heron’s Model for Clinical Supervision. I find I use this model in my everyday practice in the Family Violence sector.
I am passionate about empowering social workers and similar disciplines to be deliver the best practice they can, in a safe, supportive and challenging environment where you are able to develop your practice.
Having lived experience of the sector I work in, it often comes up in practice. It is important to recognise any triggers as early as possible and find strategies to manage these to ensure your own safety along with the safety of the client. I will support you to explore what strategies will work for you when encountering any triggers.
Managing work/personal life balance is something I highly valued, so you will find this along with self-care is explored in every session.
Please feel free to make contact to discuss any queries you may have. I am happy to provide supervision online if this is more suitable.
