Services

Super-vision is not Snooper-vision!

Supervision is:

• A working alliance
• Between two professionals
• Where supervisees offer an account of their work
• Reflect on it
• Receive feedback
• Receive guidance, if appropriate

                                                               (Carroll, 2010)

I offer:

• Individual supervision- online
• Individual Supervision for supervisors- online
• Group supervision for private practitioners- online. 
• External individual and group supervision for organisations/teams-online or onsite                                                              

Clinical supervision is my passion

I am dedicated to ongoing reflection, growth, and ethical practice. I offer the opportunity for counsellors, supervisors and leaders to experience the same.  My years in clinical leadership will bring an additional lens to our supervision.

Together we will create a safe and collaborative space for you to:

• Explore your practice concerns, stuckness and successes
• Deepen your reflexive practice and challenge yourseelf
• Group supervision- that amazing space we build together for collegiate sharing and expanding our practice wisdoms!
• Explore your leadership dilemmas when holding dual roles of managment and supervisor
• Deepening meta supervision: the knowing of supervision and how it benefits workplace and teams 
• Expand your supervision skillset
• Explore the challenge of the reluctant supervisee
• Reground yourself when you need it, and find your way forward
• And if you need it, together we can bring back the passion of both counselling and supervision!

My approach

I use the 7-eyed process model as my supervision construct. It can help us to consider what area/s of the counselling practice issue you want to reflect upon. It is a flexible model and I use it in conjunction with your counselling construct and needs

I am always curious about the intrapersonal dynamics between client and counsellor, and between supervisee and supervisor.  I also enjoy the focus of counsellor and supervisor as person.

There is no one size fits all approach to my supervision practice. As a strengths-based and values-driven clinician, you will experience this stance within supervision.

Have you ever heard yourself say, “I need to talk to someone but my problems aren’t big enough or worthy enough for a counsellor. I would only be wasting their time.” Or how about, “I’m hopeless and it’s my fault and it would be embarrassing to talk about my problems.” And then there’s, “Every time I try, it doesn’t work.”

Oh, how our inner critic can be so strong at times! 

Or as a therapist/counsellor, "I need something beyond supervision to explore a personal issue."  It is important at times to look after our emotional, mental and relational health to keep us well and grounded. Therapy for therapists takes us beyond our practice skillsets- we are important as people too!

Perhaps there are also times when you know you need to shift or change something but you aren’t sure what to do or how to begin? Whatever you are going through: stress, worries about the future, life’s challenges, and changes or feeling stuck, counselling gives you the space to explore what is important to you. You will have the opportunity to unpack your story; to explore new possibilities; to rediscover or enhance your values, skills, and strengths towards a new or different way forward. Or reclaim the you the feel you have lost.

You will be listened to. Your voice will be heard. Your concerns, feelings and thoughts will be honoured. We will soothe your inner critic together and work on building your inner mentor and a sense of hope. And we will do that in collaboration, with compassion and even a little humour at times.

I can support you with:

• Therapy for therapists
• Depression and sadness
• Anxiety, stress, and worry
• Feeling stuck about your future direction
• The emotional impact of chronic disease and other health conditions
• Carer stress
• Grief and loss
• Addiction worries
• Communication & relational struggles (I don't offer couples or family therapy)

I work with people aged 26-80 years old.  I cannot support issues with cognitive decline or dementia.

Due to its set up, my Practice is unable to respond to crises. In the event of an emergency, please contact 000 or Lifeline 13 11 14. Or reach out to your GP.

This practice does not accept NDIS, WorkCover, TAC, Family Court, or other legal-related cases. My service is not covered by the Medicare Rebate or a Mental Health Care Plan. 

Currently I only offer online counselling.  There are no session limits. We can negotiate together what you feel you need. 

Creating and delivering bespoke workshops has always been a rewarding and fun sideline of my work. My workshops are delivered from a collegiate not an expert stance.  Learning together by sharing our skills, strengths, knowledge, and inspiration, with a good dose of humour, brings out the best in teams.

For many years I have delivered health coaching/behaviour change skills sessions for allied health teams. I find that using my motivational skills alongside my counselling and supervision skills, supports clinicians to enhance their client-centred practice.

• Skills in Being a Supervisee or Supervisor
• Deepening meta supervision: the knowing of supervision and how it benefits workplace and teams
• Health Coaching Skills -Motivating for Change & Goal Setting
