What is Clinical Supervision?
Is a type of coaching between health & human services professionals to reflect, learn and build their skills and practice. It occurs between a more experienced practitioner ion the field they want supervision in, and a practitioner who is seeking to learn skills from that clinician. It is similar to mentoring or coaching but is specific to building and continuing one's professional reflective practice.
It can be individual, group or peer to peer. I offer individual supervision, group, management supervision in the following areas:
-
trauma and trauma informed care
-
addiction, substance use, eating issues
-
mental health and social emotional wellbeing
-
childhood and adult sexual assault

Since 2010 I have been working predominantly in alcohol and other drugs and dual diagnosis, with a focus on developmental trauma. Working with a range of addictions is a passion of mine and I have enjoyed working in this area for over a decade, providing therapeutic interventions as well as trainings and conference presentations in the field.
For professionals, clinical supervision is my passion and I have been providing external clinical supervision, organisational consultancy and training for human services workers since 2010.
