I provide clinical supervision to social workers, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience from my 8 years of professional work in both clinical and leadership roles across a range of government, community, non for profit and private settings. My areas of clinical specialty are trauma informed practice, child protection, risk assessment and management, family violence, neuroaffirming practice, complex cases, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I offer inclusive, strength based clinical supervisions and professional consultations, which aim to support you to follow your values whilst achieving your career goals. I emphasise the importance of ongoing self reflection and self care to prevent compassion fatigue and burnout.

I’m warm, approachable, and encouraging in nature, and like to think that I’m a great choice of supervisor for newly trained as well as well seasoned social workers. You’re welcome to access clinical supervision with me on either a regular or 'as needed' basis. Don’t hesitate to book a free 15 minute consultation if you have any questions or would like to discuss your needs.

My clinical supervision sessions are offered in person or online via Google Meet. With genuine empathy and a great understanding of increasing living and professional costs, I hope to maximise accessibility. The investment for a 50 minute supervision session is $190. Current introduction sale includes 3 supervisions for $500 (est. $166 each).

“Professional supervision is concerned with a social worker’s development of professional working methods and competency and linking their practice to the body of social work theory and knowledge, facilitating a practitioner’s engagement in reflective practice, the application of standards of ethical practice to their work, and in some cases developing practical skills and insight for navigating a workplace and complex cases” (Practice Standard Supplement, AASW). Balancing attention to 3 main functions:
