Accredited Clinical Supervisor (DAPAANZ)

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” – Simone Weil

I provide clinical and cultural supervision for practitioners, leaders and organisations across the mental health, addiction and social services sectors in Aotearoa.

Drawing on more than 30 years of experience spanning frontline clinical practice, group facilitation, leadership, public health, research, governance and workforce development, I integrate cultural, clinical and systems perspectives to support reflective, ethical and effective practice.

My supervision interweaves cultural, clinical and systems lenses. I draw on extensive frontline therapeutic mahi and group facilitation experience, together with research, evaluation, public health and governance work, so I understand the layers practitioners are navigating – from the therapeutic relationship to team dynamics, organisational pressures, governance expectations and wider policy settings. This allows us to move fluently between therapeutic mahi, cultural formulation, ethical issues, service and programme design, leadership dilemmas and system‑level questions, depending on what you need from supervision.

Sessions pay attention to your wellbeing, your professional responsibilities and the contexts you work in, whether that is a clinical team, a kaupapa Māori or Pasifika service, a youth service, peer‑led space or a multi‑agency setting. For Māori and Pasifika practitioners and services, there is space to integrate cultural frameworks, language, prayer and tikanga where this is appropriate and welcomed.

Through supervision, I aim to support sustainable practice and enhance culturally and clinically safe outcomes for tāngata whai ora, whānau and communities.
