I provide individual and group supervision to chaplains, nurses, ministers, restorative justice facilitators, health and welfare professionals. You’re likely to see your work as a calling or vocation and be places where compassion, resilience, and connection are at the heart of everything people try to do.

Supervision has been part of my life for over 30 years through roles in health and welfare management, education, military, church, and restorative justice. And for the last 13 years as a healthcare chaplain in a public hospital.

Using all that experience I’ve been developing my supervision practice over the past six years. This has included facilitating reflective practice groups, debriefs and individual supervision with nurses, other healthcare professionals, chaplains and restorative justice facilitators. So, I’m only too aware of the complicated issues that can arise when you must hold in tension the needs of people in the face of organisational priorities and expectations.

My supervision approach is reflective, and strengths based. I’m concerned about the practical, ethical and moral issues you bring to supervision, but also about what runs deep for you. How you understand the meaning and purpose of your life, the essence of you. This works like soul pilates, strengthening your inner core and the healing presence you bring to the world.

But it’s important here that I acknowledge the experience and wisdom of the people who have been my supervisors. They have helped me notice and celebrate success. And been alongside me as I faced my shortcomings, slowly learning to forgive myself and others. In doing so, they gave hope and helped me build a strong but tender resilience to draw from in supervising others.
