Some details
-
I approach my supervision from a reflective practice standpoint. This offers a space for people to review their practice and grow their skills in accordance with their own goals.
-
I am keen to discuss with you your self-care, work life balance, safe practice and safe boundaries in the workplace.
​
-
I live in Nelson but happily work online.
-
I am:
-
an attentive, warm listener
-
logical
-
honest
-
respectful
-
a person who values humour
-
-
I enjoy:
-
a coffee with friends
-
belonging to a book group
-
dabbling in oil painting
-
walking
-
-
My partner and I have adult children, who we wish lived in Nelson, but it does mean we know Christchurch and Dunedin quite well! However, we share our home with a dachshund and a long-suffering cat.
-
​I work interprofessionally, which means I can work with supervisees from a different profession.
​​
-
Interprofessional supervision benefits us both by:​
-
Providing time and space to reflect on practice, to understand previous experiences and consider how these impact on approaching work.
-
​​Highlighting the commonalities in each profession and we learn from each other – I’m not the expert!
-
Supporting you in your work environment, to work with fellow staff members, managers, your pupils and other colleagues outside of the office in a safe manner, is not reliant on being in the same profession as the supervisee.
-
​​
-
Creating the chance to be aware of what makes our professions different and challenge the accepted norms of our practice - I will inquire about your practice, your Code of Ethics. This, as well as obtaining further skills and knowledge from other disciplines, results in improving practice.
​​​
-
As a full professional member of ANZASW and a Registered Social Worker with SWRB, I am bound by the professional code of ethics and conduct of both organisations.
