When I get supervision I like to come away feeling excited and positive about my work, surer about where I stand in my organisation, keen to get back to my clients, confident of my next step in ethical practice, expanded by some new knowledge, insight or area of research, or, at the very least, clear that I need to rest. So, that's what I try to offer as a supervisor. We would negotiate how, and about what, we work, and how we'll exchange feedback. I’m fond of creative, kinaesthetic ways of working, and of conversation. I’ve been working since 2000 with children and families in the care system, survivors of SA, people involved in DV, carers, LGBQTI+ community and other people from 4 to 90. I enjoy supervising teams and individuals.

Professional services are offered in Sydney, Canberra and Goulburn. Also by Zoom, Skype and phone. Underpinning my practice is the belief that people’s experiences, particularly those uncomfortable or disorientating events can be the basis for professional, personal, emotional and spiritual learning and transformation.  My understanding comes through personal experience and from studies in supervisory practice, teaching theory, theology, various nursing strands and science. I am enthusiastic about working with people who are keen to learn about their own practice, who desire personal and professional understanding, and who expect their supervisor to accompany them on that journey. I welcome and am comfortable with diversity and challenge. I currently work with practitioners from homelessness, domestic violence, aboriginal support, pastoral practice, ministerial roles, medicine, allied health, corporate roles, education and nursing practice, either in individual or peer group supervision.

My counselling background spanned various sectors, including homelessness, child safety, unemployment and residential programs. I now divide my time between my private practice (supervision and counselling) and pastoral care in church life. I appreciate the complexities in straddling a role between counselling and pastoral care. Having been in church leadership roles for the past four decades, I understand the pressures that ministry can bring on our closest relationships. My experience includes relationship counselling, pastoral supervision and chaplaincy supervision. My formal qualifications are: B.Theology, B.Human Services, M.Counselling, GradCert Professional Supervision (Clinical), (Pastoral). I am an ordained minister with ACC, supervisor with Scripture Union and Chaplaincy Australia, member of Australian Counselling Association.
