Group Supervision
Group supervision has the capacity to stimulate ideas and for supervisees to feel supported and companioned in their work. It can provide a valuable adjunct to individual supervision and may have a teaching component.
Individual Supervision
I enjoy working with you to develop your full potential and to hone in on critical moments and blind spots, to maximise learning and mobilise effectiveness in all aspects of your work.
Community Development
You can request a specially designed supervision or training group for your organisation, tailored to your situation and current issues to strengthen relationships and reduce isolation.
Workplace Coaching, Teambuilding and Mentoring
Get help to refine your work practice and your ability to create positive relationships and work through challenges and increase the potency of the service you offer others..
Nature Therapy
I offer nature experiences with llamas, dogs, cats and trees as my co-therapists. Being outside and connecting with the natural elements has the capacity to soothe and free up your creative energies.
Families
I help families with children and also adult families to understand family dynamics and work together to enjoy each other and face challenges in the sometimes stressful world we live in.
My Approach & Philosophy
My dream is that people all over the world will become more involved with nature, highly valuing relationships and having the ability to make intelligent, sensitive and potent interventions. I have a vision of communities celebrating life in relevant ways so that steady relationships and joy are part of the everyday norms. I am aware that the way I am is crucial in enabling me to be effective. Openness and flexibility, a playful touch, and attention to emotional tone and timing assist me to connect with the people I work with.
As I reflect on my experience, the best way I can describe it is that I give myself and others a spontaneity training workout, and this has a good effect. Everyone has their own creative style.
I am fortunate to be able to offer outdoor experiences in the bush and encounters with llamas, farm dogs and friendly cats.
