Professional Supervision or Work Focused Support.
I will support you to explore the strengths of your practice and the areas where you want to refine, grow and develop. Together we can reflect on your current and experiences, and how you do your work. We will look at building awareness, skills and ensuring you are equipped for your role. We can also debrief critical incidents using a reflective process. I will listen with compassion, encourage your curiosity and offer where needed courageous challenges. I will give you space to pause, reflect or work through the next steps. I will respect your autonomy, and professional ethics or boundaries. |

Resilience Based Programmes for Children
Working either 1-1 or in a group. I offer child focused activities to build self esteem, social skills and resilience. I have experience with children with emotional and wellbeing needs. I use a mixture of play based, bibliotherapy (books) and creative approaches allowing children to develop their sense of self, give voice to their feelings, needs and explore practical skills to overcome difficulties. Where possible, I gather information from the child, family members and the relevant professionals. |

and the Science of Hope". -unknown. |
Social Work
Do you or your family have support needs, and sometimes feel you are not sure where to turn? I have expertise in working with emotional wellbeing, family stress, loss and life changes. I offer listening and practical support. I can help you get unstuck and reach your goals through support, coaching, skill building and problem solving. I will listen to your strengths, explore what is needed and connect you, where necessary, to relevant agencies and community providers. |
