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.

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.

It is my passion to assist and empower social workers and care professionals to make the best decisions they can. Reigniting a love of what they do and navigating around and threw, any walls to that.
A particularly interest in promoting the utilization of therapeutic opportunities through the social Work role.
Encouraging self care for optimal outcomes as well as sustainability. Debunking the glorification of ‘busy’, through self monitoring and tools for boundaries.
Expertise in rapport building and working directly with children and youth in mental health, advocation, therapeutic and community roles.
Reflective practice and exploring where the professional and personal boundaries meet and cross, finding ways that each are complimented by the same journey, yet kept ‘safe’ from each other.
Working with team dynamics and managing complex situations.
Leadership and management development.
Managing work/personal life balance.
Child focused practice. Integrating theory and practice.
Not just culturally safe practice, but empowering through culturally encouraging and affirming practice, especially working cross culturally, with Maori.
Strengths-based and solution focused as an underlying thread throughout.

I offer a reflective and supportive service, where I bring strong interpersonal skills.

I use Davys and Beddoe’s (2010) Reflective Learning Model of supervision as my primary approach to support reflexive practice.
