Supervision for professionals & AASW Accreditation Guidance
.
.
With a background in child protection and child and youth mental health, my supervision is grounded in child development, family systems, trauma-informed care, and relational practice. I offer professional supervision to social workers, and extend this to allied professionals in the child, youth and family sector. Supervision with me is relational, grounded, and strengths-based — a space to reflect, grow, and feel supported in the important work you do.A key focus of my offerings is supporting social workers through the AASW Mental Health Accreditation process with ad hoc consultations for guidance or ongoing supervision to support skill development, and to map your accreditation journey early. Also offering group supervision relevant to mental health accreditation.
Having navigated this complex and often unclear pathway myself, I’m committed to helping others avoid the confusion, stress, and isolation. My approach balances practical guidance with the space to explore identity and purpose, whilst building confidence.Additional support and resources are available through my free Facebook group for social workers pursuing accreditation. See the FAQ for details.
FAQ — Supervision
My orientation is informed by a systemic lens and models such as Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). This may resonate with supervisees drawn to relational and emotionally attuned practice. I take a holistic and culturally responsive approach, supporting practitioners to explore the personal, clinical, and complex aspects of their work.As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) and Medicare provider, I also draw on a broad range of interventions, including DBT, ACT, CBT, parent training, MI and mindfulness-based strategies.This integrative approach allows me to support professionals with reflective exploration while maintaining a practical focus on complex clinical decision-making.

My fee is $120 per hour for individual supervision or consults. This reduced rate will remain in place only until the end of 2025, in recognition of the flexible, home-based nature of my current practice — which may occasionally include the presence of my baby. For current fees related to group, please see supervision offerings in flyers below.
If possible, it’s great to have supervision through your workplace. However, many choose independent supervision for additional support, confidentiality, or a fresh perspective. Working together, I can support you in navigating challenges in your current role, building your professional confidence, and even mapping out your social work career to help you reach your goals.

Group Supervision RE: Mental Health Accreditation
I deeply appreciate the valuable supervision I received early in my career. It made a profound difference during a steep learning curve, and I’m passionate about providing that same supportive space to others. This involves supporting others reflect, recharge, harness their strengths, and bridge gaps in clinical practice, so they can navigate challenges with greater ease and grow as confident mental health professionals.
