I take a reflective and collaborative approach to both individual and group supervision, drawing on trauma-informed and attachment-based practice, family systems theory, mediation and conflict resolution, and risk management. My supervision practice is grounded in clinical and systemic understanding, supported by experience across mental health, child protection, NDIA, and ADF systems.

I bring knowledge of complex presentations including PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, chronic pain, and trauma-related difficulties, as well as specialist frameworks such as EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) interventions. I am also familiar with the requirements of Social Work Mental Health Accreditation and supervision expectations across various disciplines.

Supervision is always tailored to the supervisee or team, with a focus on creating a safe, respectful, and confidential space. I work within a supervision contract that sets clear expectations and helps guide the process. Sessions often involve reflective practice, case formulation and discussion, professional development, and skill consolidation, but are flexible to meet the evolving needs of the individual or group.

Frameworks and Systems

My approach integrates understanding and experience from:

  • Mental health systems – including trauma-informed care, recovery-oriented frameworks, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
  • Child protection systems – with attention to risk assessment, safety planning, and interagency communication.
  • ADF and DVA systems – including operational culture, service-related trauma, and transition stressors.

This broad systems knowledge supports supervisees to navigate complex organisational dynamics while maintaining professional integrity, wellbeing, and ethical practice.

Structure and Availability

  • Individual supervision: 55 minutes
  • Group supervision: 1 to 1.5 hours (depending on group needs)
  • Sessions can be held in person, via video link, or telehealth (in-person is recommended for group work where possible).

Fees:

  • $180 per individual session
  • Group supervision – to be negotiated depending on structure and frequency

Group Supervision Approach

Group supervision can include complex case discussions, staff dynamics, reflective practice, or systemic issues within an organisation. Supervisees are encouraged to nominate topics in advance, though there is also space for emerging or pressing issues on the day. Each group sets shared agreements and confidentiality parameters to ensure a safe, productive environment.

Training and Philosophy

I have completed formal supervision training in child protection, both in leadership and therapeutic roles, and have expanded this across mental health, community, and defence-related settings over the years. I view supervision as a two-way reflective process that evolves through open feedback and collaboration.

All supervision arrangements are formalised through a supervision agreement signed by all parties, ensuring shared understanding of goals, expectations, and responsibilities.
