My approach to supervision

Empowering clients to see the immense skill and knowledge they bring to their role. Build upon how they integrate their lived experience into their roles, as well as expanding their skills in supporting people and working within a multidisciplinary team. Supporting clients to explore and sit with the difficult aspects of lived experience work, managing difficult workplace dynamics and building a professional identity.
