About me

Supervision is an opportunity for you, as a professional, to engage in the practice of guided reflection. Supervision supports you to become a resilient practitioner; providing you with the time and space needed to explore your thoughts and feelings about the work that you do, regularly and in a truly meaningful way.

A good supervisor will work with you to foster a professional relationship that is underpinned by the principles of authenticity, confidentiality, respect and trust. As a supervisor, I am committed to practices which embed radical acceptance into each session; inviting a supervisee to be fully present and engaged with the supervision process, without any expectation that they should mask their feelings or filter their truth.

When we are able to tell our stories in safe spaces, it can work to validate our experiences and it allows us to feel seen and heard. This is the first step towards restorative work, which happens when a safe space also feels like a brave space. Over time, the supervisory relationship will continue to offer the opportunity to reflect on, develop, and sustain good practices. It will also challenge you to be more accountable for those practices, becoming more aware of your own personal blind-spots and empowering you to question habits or behaviours which may no longer be serving you well.

My professional interests lean towards practices which support mental well-being and professional resilience; avoiding burnout and maintaining our professional standards.
