About me

I have been a mental health nurse for almost 30 years.

I have worked in varied positions, both in Australia and in the UK.

I believe strongly in clinical supervision, and I am able to adapt my approach to suit your needs.

I have found clinical supervision helpful in both personal and professional development over the last 30 years.

I would feel privileged to work with you and share your journey.

My experience

Vast experience in delivering and receiving clinical supervision over the last 15 years.

I have undertaken formal training, and most recently completed the CMHL Clinical Supervision Masterclass.

My current role/work

My current role is as Adult Mental Health Educator.

Prior to this I worked for 8 years in the UK as a team leader on a busy BPD unit and subsequently as Manager of a Crisis Team for 5.5 years.

All positions have their challenges, and benefits, but I learnt from each of them.

My approach to supervision

I am eclectic in my approach to clinical supervision as everyone is an individual and we respond differently to situations.

I enjoy using a variety of approaches, in order to provide the most suitable approach for each person.

I can use a CBT type approach, a reflective model or something more structured like Proctor or Gibb's models.
