Supervision
In addition to providing therapy, I’m also a clinical supervisor and have completed supervision training with the Bouverie Centre. I’ve worked in frontline roles throughout my career across mental health, child and family services, alcohol and other drugs, and family and sexual violence. This work has spanned community and public health settings, non‑government organisations, and LGBTIQ+ community‑controlled services, giving me a broad range of experience.
In my early career, I remember what it felt like to be thrown in the deep end, to care deeply about the work while not yet feeling confident or experienced enough. As careers develop, the challenges often shift. Over time, they sometimes become less about direct client work and more about organisational culture, systems, and internal politics. Social work can be deeply rewarding, and it can also be demanding and complex.
I value external supervision as a collaborative space to think together about the work, including case formulation and relational formulation. Supervision offers an opportunity to reflect on ethics, gain new perspectives on complex situations, and strengthen confidence in clinical skills. My aim is that people leave sessions feeling clearer, more supported, and more confident in their decision‑making.
I’m also mindful of the financial realities of social work, particularly in the early stages of a career. For this reason, I’ve intentionally set my supervision rate below the AASW recommended rate in an effort to make external supervision more accessible.
Who supervision might suit
My supervision practice is suited to social workers and counsellors at different stages of their careers, including early‑career clinicians, those working in complex or high‑risk settings, and experienced practitioners navigating organisational challenges or role transitions. Supervision may be helpful if you’re seeking support with ethical decision‑making, case formulation, reflective practice, managing the emotional impact of the work, or simply a space to think things through with someone outside your workplace.
