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.

As a professional supervisor, I am passionate about mobilising and normalising external supervision as a vehicle for support, compassion, growth and challenge in practice. I am a strong advocate for reflective and reflexive practice where social workers can be empowered to use the whole of themselves, their lived and professional experience, and expertise to make the best decisions for the people they serve.
As a previous supervisor and current practice leader, interpersonal and inter-professional dynamics is an area of interest, as the connections and whanaungatanga between kaimahi, their mete and rangatira can often impact the confidence to work through complex and challenging situations.
Providing opportunity for kaimahi to have their needs met through a safe and supported modality of supervision – and identifying the tools that already exist to work through difficulties and ethical challenges that are part of social work practice.

I contextualize supervision as a conscious and thoughtful experience, one that is imbedded in a cultural context exploring theories of social and cultural differences. Focusing on mentorship, leadership, cultural humility and mutual learning through the process of creativity , supervision can become the platform to explore the complex issues that social workers face such as
Race, class, gender, sexuality and disability intersect.
There’s no human endeavour that can’t be improved with a little creativity, and social work is no exception. While social workers can draw upon any number of talking therapy and talking supervision, there are times when talk isn’t helpful or can’t be summoned.
As an Arts Therapist and Social worker I a hold full conviction that creativity and arts can open a back door to the psyche, soul and body. Allowing Supervisees to draw from that which they cannot be put into words, thus catalysing subsequent therapeutic conversations, and self exploration.
We will explore supervision in a way which involves the multifaceted ways of communicating, This can aid the process of connecting implicit traumas of the self into explicit knowledge , thus informing our social work practice by exploring the multilayers of trauma that social workers can experience as a result of our own and that of the work we engage and our clients traumas. In and become exposed.
Creative arts therapies Social Work Supervision can involve the use of the arts—visual art, music, dance and movement, drama, and poetry.
