Professional Supervision

Jacaranda Studio specialises in professional social work supervision and supervision of professionals within the human services sector. 

I provide online and after hours sessions to ensure support for those who find it difficult to attend in person and during business hours.

I have over two decades of experience as a social worker and over 8 years as a professional supervisor and I have a passion for supporting social workers and other professionals navigate a career that allows them to walk alongside of individuals, families and communities during time of pain, injustice, inequity and hardship. 

My experience includes:

  • Grief and Loss

  • Bereavement

  • Health sector (paediatric and adult)

  • Children and families

  • Case management

  • Leadership


Whilst strongly believing in an evidence informed approach, I also believe that working with people is an inexact science and clinical supervision is a social worker’s ‘lab’.  The best outcomes I see come when people can allow themselves to be vulnerable, honest and authentic, whilst bringing a curious and reflective mind.  I understand and wholeheartedly believe in the power of reflection but also understand that sometimes people need information, resources or guidance in their supervision.

The strength of my supervision lies in the relationship I build with my clients because the best work is done when people feel safe, respected and inspired. I take my role as a clinical supervisor seriously, however I can’t help but find a place for humour in my approach!

Do you ask yourself ‘how do I know if I am doing a good job’? 

Does it sometimes feel that you will never know?  ‘Success’ in social work can look very different depending on the context and identifying your strengths and their impact is crucial to finding a sense of fulfilment in this often challenging career path.
