I’m curious by nature – and that’s given me a genuine interest in people and their stories. I love the opportunity to connect with people. To listen and learn. Especially when it comes to my work. I have over 35 years’ experience working in the health sector in loads of different clinical, leadership and teaching roles. I hold a Bachelor of Nursing and Certificate in Midwifery, have qualifications in Clinical Supervision and am a certified Mental Health First Aider. I am the immediate past Vice-President on the management committee of the Australian Clinical Supervision Association (2021-2023) and completed a Master of Counselling at Queensland University of Technology in 2024. Throughout my working life, I’ve come to realise that I’m solutions-focussed. That I’m passionate about strength-based approaches. And that I’m endlessly enthusiastic to support individuals and teams alike to be their very best. Clinical and Professional Supervision and Counselling is how I put these passions to work. I’m currently supporting managers and clinicians in not-for-profit, government and Aboriginal community-controlled organisations with supervision. I will be providing face-to- face counselling services at the Lillian Cooper Women’s Health Centre from January 2025. You can hear what others have to say on my testimonials page. I’m curious to hear your story too. https://www.flourishfirst.com.au/clinicalsupervision daily 0.75 2024-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616aa001fa507731400e63b9/1635336317815-1EQBB6H9B13ZDCNDUJVW/shutterstock_1542129392.jpg Clinical Supervision - What is Clinical Supervision? Look up ‘Clinical’ in the dictionary and you’ll be met with a definition that’s all about the analytical and the objective. Which is technically correct – but definitely misses the authentic connection, human understanding and empowering environment that Clinical Supervision offers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616aa001fa507731400e63b9/1635302951102-9YP3S1CV2UF52OXDGHSX/pepe-reyes-0GBxtiFvzXE-unsplash.jpg Clinical Supervision - In the same way, you might see a word like ‘Supervision’ and immediately think of top-down advice giving (like a driving instructor or a teacher) – instead of the guided reflection Clinical Supervision actually offers. You’re not being told what to do – you’re being given time to talk through how you might grow forward. And that’s what Clinical Supervision is all about. It’s an ongoing opportunity to pause and reflect on your work. To make sense of the stuff that’s going on in your head. To work through the particulars of certain incidents or interactions that might be impacting your work. To analyse what went well (and what didn’t) and feel motivated to take your next steps personally and professionally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616aa001fa507731400e63b9/1635334551317-9BGNJI6P70GNYN8O8UZT/shutterstock_1109723711.jpg Clinical Supervision - Ultimately, Clinical Supervision supports practitioners to come to work each day and keep providing amazing care to others, without feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. And that takes a special kind of magic – that can’t be put into words. (But can definitely be felt in the ways you can flourish in your career!)

My approach to counselling is all about collaboration and respecting the unique expertise people have in their own lives. I believe that everyone has the skills and knowledge they need to create meaningful change. Transparency and teamwork are at the heart of how I work, and I enjoy partnering with clients to uncover solutions together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616aa001fa507731400e63b9/5fca0b68-fc65-471b-9110-670270c1c4ab/beach+path.jpg Counselling - My style is energetic, curious, playful, and creative. I see counselling as a relational process, where the stories we tell and the connections we share help us make sense of things. Creating a space where new ideas can grow, and fresh perspectives can form is important to me. I predominantly use solution-focused and narrative approaches. Following each session, you have the option of receiving a therapeutic letter from me that outlines some of the things I noticed during our conversation and further questions that may support your reflections. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616aa001fa507731400e63b9/312a52d1-d227-4d29-8d9b-7cb3bf9a31d1/Story.jpg Counselling - I find great joy in witnessing others' stories and appreciate how these stories move me and continually shape who I am. I work with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, general mental health and wellbeing, life transitions, acute or chronic medical diagnoses (including dementia), loss and grief, family relationship challenges, and clinical supervision. That said, I welcome anyone who needs someone to talk to outside of family and friends—no mental health diagnosis or care plan required. https://www.flourishfirst.com.au/new-page daily 0.75 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755708778312-MMTAOH4378GDEG167D6S/imgg-demo-Hh4icpkE.webp
