Clinical Supervision

As a social worker, clinical supervisor, and therapist, my work is shaped by a lifelong curiosity about the world, the mind, and the human condition.

I see my role as walking alongside people as they explore and develop their own path, supporting their growth as a person, clinician and a leader. My approach is grounded in the values and ethics of social work, and is further informed by my ongoing professional development, specialised clinical supervision training, and my experience in management and leadership roles across community agencies, NGOs, and private practice settings.

Through my own personal life, and years of social work practice with complex trauma, communities, and neurodiversity, I have come to understand that healing and peace emerge when we explore meaning and find enough safety to face our suffering. This understanding, rooted in a social work lens that holds the person-in-context, has guided me to broaden my training and deepen my understanding in areas including play and creative arts therapy, community and narrative practices, psychodynamic psychotherapy, clinical supervision, somatic practices, cultural practices of wellbeing and health. I prioritise the importance of seeing the intersections where clinicians and people meet while safely holding the the impacts and tensions of the various systems the encounter including culture, gender, identity, philosophy, spirituality and evidence-based practice..

My own clinical supervisory practice continues to evolve through ongoing professional development, and training. I receive my own regular supervision on my specific interest areas including: Supervision, Leadership EMDR Consultation, Dissociation, Children, Youth and Young People, Families, Education and Training, Neurodiverse Affirming Practice, cPTSD, Trauma and Complex Mental Health Presentations.

In my clinical supervision practice, I draw on a range of evidence-based research and approaches within a psychodynamic and relational frame which reflects core social work principles and places the therapeutic and supervisory relationship at the heart of change.

“There is no greater source of joy and meaning in our lives than our relationships with others.”
