Reflective Practice & Professional Supervision
Professional supervision provides space to think clearly about your work, your role, your responses and the pressures you carry. Before stress, conflict or overload begin affecting how you operate.
Support for people whose work involves pressure, responsibility, decision-making and caring for others.
Professional supervision provides space to think clearly about your work, your role, and the pressures you carry, before stress, conflict, or overload begin to affect how you operate.
Your work likely involves responsibility, complexity, and regular exposure to other people’s needs, emotions, and expectations.
Over time, this can shape how you think, respond, and communicate. Even if you’re experienced and capable.
Supervision offers a structured space to step back, reflect, and maintain clarity, effectiveness, and sustainability in your work.
Who this is for
Professional supervision is suitable for people in roles that involve responsibility for others, complex decision-making, or ongoing exposure to pressure.
This may include:
Counsellors seeking additional or non-clinical supervision
Nurses and healthcare staff
Teachers and school staff
Leaders and managers
Frontline and emergency service workers
Staff in wellbeing, peer support, or advisory roles
If your work involves supporting others, managing complexity, or holding responsibility, supervision can help you stay clear, grounded, and effective over time.
While not counselling, this is a confidential space to think through your work, your responses, and the impact your role has on you.
How it works
Supervision can be tailored to suit your context:
Individual sessions (1:1) $150
Small group supervision (3-6 people) $70 pp.
Workplace-based supervision available for teams or staff groups
Sessions are available online or in-person by arrangement
For organisations, structured supervision programs or blocks can be arranged, including travel where required.
Depending on your employment or business structure, sessions may be claimable as a work-related or professional development expense. Please seek advice from your accountant or tax advisor.
This supervision is provided for registration purposes for Australian Counsellors. It is not provided for formal registration or accreditation purposes in NZ. It is designed as professional development and support for practice.
What is professional supervision?
Professional supervision is a structured, reflective, and confidential space focused on how you are working — not just what you are dealing with.
Sessions may include:
Thinking through challenging situations or decisions
Exploring communication, boundaries, and professional responses
Making sense of the emotional load that comes with your role
Clarifying expectations, responsibility, and role complexity
Identifying patterns that affect how you work under pressure
This is not therapy, and it’s not performance management.
It is a practical way of maintaining clarity, effectiveness, and sustainability in your professional role.
A whole-of-practice approach
I am a certified professional supervisor in the Step-Up Supervision (STS) model.
This approach looks beyond individual situations to the broader context of your work.
Rather than focusing only on specific cases or incidents, we consider:
The demands and pressures of your role
The systems and environments you work within
Your interactions with others (clients, staff, teams)
The cumulative impact of your work over time
How you maintain effectiveness without becoming overwhelmed
This allows for deeper, more useful reflection that supports both immediate situations and long-term
professional sustainability.
