Your Partner in Professional Growth
Are You Looking for Clinical Supervision or Leadership Coaching?
Welcome
Hi, I’m Melinda. Building self-awareness, helping you uncover your professional strengths at all career stages & enhancing your work with clients is at the heart of what I do as a clinical supervisor and leadership consultant for social workers, mental health practitioners & professionals working in trauma informed practice e.g. lawyers.
As a clinical supervisor with 30 + years professional experience & qualifications in mental health social work, public service management & relationship therapy, I walk alongside you on your career journey.
Feel free to make contact. I look forward to meeting you.
Trauma Informed Supervision
As a social worker, mental health practitioner or lawyer working with traumatised clients in stretched organisations, you will understand the importance of having a sounding board.
I’ve heard you say that you are looking for debriefing and personal strategies to manage your emotional responses to hearing challenging personal stories. You care about social justice and want to explore ethical and organisational issues that arise in the work.
You have told me that you value knowledge. You want to develop problem solving strategies, build clinical & professional expertise with client work, & strengthen communication skills to handle challenging interpersonal situations.
You know that self-care and boundaries are important but need a little encouragement now and then. You want to apply theory to practice, consider career goals and build leadership skills. And sometimes you just want to reflect on what you don’t know yet.
How Can I Help You
Trauma Informed Supervision and leadership coaching empowers you at every stage of your work life. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or starting your career, you will be supported to build your skills, knowledge, confidence and career direction, to help you stay focused, reflective and engaged in your role.
Flexible online sessions fit your busy work schedule.
