This supervisor has been approved to provide supervision under the ACCESS TO SUPERVISION PROJECT.

I live and work on the beautiful lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. Like many lived experience workers, I discovered this work by accident and I am certainly glad that I did! I was fortunate enough to have worked in a couple of different industries before discovering lived experience work and I bring many of the learnings, and experience into my work, but my lived experience work has its foundations in authenticity, mutuality, kindness, integrity and respect.

I am by design a nurturer and take great satisfaction in supporting and developing people in any way that I can be of value. I wholeheartedly take on as much learning as I can absorb and continue to develop my knowledge and skills across a range of areas.

This supervisor has been approved to provide supervision under the ACCESS TO SUPERVISION PROJECT.

My lived experience work commenced in 2021 with an Area Mental Health Service as a Carer Consultant. In this work I was involved in high level advocacy for the inclusion of family/carers in the service along with many co-design projects.

I directly consulted with clinical staff and management on improvement strategies to Mental Health Drug and Alcohol Services

I held positions on committees and governance groups always presenting the family/carer perspective for service development.

Lived Experience Project Lead where I liaise with and support Lived Experience workers from both the consumer and family/carer disciplines in gaining access to supervision.

Mutuality is really important to me.

Whilst I like a structured environment, I support and respect the fact that this does not work for everybody and will tailor sessions to work best for both of us.

My core belief around supervision is that it should be a place to develop and be challenged in a really safe environment.

Development of a workforce can take many different paths and discovering which paths we want to take can often require collaborative discussion.
