I have a limited number of spaces available per fortnight for supervision of Counsellors, Therapists, Social Workers, or Drug & Alcohol Practitioners (Qualified or in training). Either in-person at Titirangi or Online via Zoom.
My supervision experience includes as a supervisor of Volunteer Phone Counsellors at Youthline (2004-2005), supervision of Social Work, Counselling, and AOD Practitioners on placement in an Alcohol & Drug Service (2010-2012), supervising MIT Mental Health students on clinical placements (2012-2014), providing Specialist Consultations and Case Supervision for Social Workers as part of my role at Clinical Services Unit of Child Youth & Family/Oranga Tamariki (2014-2017), and providing supervision sessions for Counselling Psychology (as a secondary supervisor) and Counselling students on placement in a school counselling department setting.
