About me
This supervisor has been approved to provide supervision under the ACCESS TO SUPERVISION PROJECT.
I am a kind individual who is often quite detailed and task focused, but highly values the importance of reflective spaces. Through my own lived experience and work experience, I have grown to believe deeply in the importance of connection, honest conversations, and judgement free spaces that promote growth. When I'm not working I spend my free time with my husband and small child, often at a playground, market or exploring new places.
This supervisor has been approved to provide supervision under the ACCESS TO SUPERVISION PROJECT.

My experience
I currently work as the Consumer Advisor within a large public mental health service. This is a 'systemic' role focused on providing consumer perspective within our executive and quality team. I also have a focus on supporting and developing the consumer workforce, and have a number of years experience providing consumer perspective supervision, and group co-reflection (based on the Intentional Peer Support model).
My previous work experience includes working as a peer support worker at Orygen within their Post Discharge Peer Support program.

My approach to supervision
My approach is flexible based on who I might be working with. I value the opportunity to provide free flowing reflective spaces, and equally value the opportunity to provide more structures spaces focused on individual development goals.
