My Approach

My practice relies on a broad spectrum of peer-reviewed models and techniques, including but not limited to:

• Active listening

• Strengths-based approach

• Reflective learning model

• Coping theory

• Sense of community theory

• Adaptive detachment strategies

• Pet therapy

• Hot debriefs

• Cold debriefs

My focus is on professional supervision and debriefing rather than counselling and psychological support. If I see a need for greater support than what I can offer alone, I will refer clients to additional professional care. We will then work together to create a collaborative plan.

My approach to professional supervision is first and foremost to listen to my clients' needs and intentions and then help them explore those issues. I ask challenging questions designed to broaden and grow my clients' understanding of themselves and their practice. If desired, I also provide advice, feedback, and guidance.

Ultimately, session topics are self-selected by you and may cover any number of areas, including goals, morale, generalised stress and burnout, specific incidents, coping strategies, interpersonal conflict, work-life balance, and more.
