Clinical Supervision
I provide clinical supervision for graduate psychologists, social workers, counsellors, teachers, and managers who are looking for a supportive, practical, and outcome-focused space to grow.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs. Supervision with me involves setting clear goals, working through day-to-day challenges, and developing real-world strategies that help you move forward with confidence. You'll receive guidance, encouragement, and honest feedback — without micromanagement. I’m here to support your growth, but it’s your journey, your direction, and your professional path.
I bring a strong clinical foundation with a particular focus on the impact of environmental factors, effective behavioural management, and taking purposeful, informed action. Whether you’re working towards registration, navigating complex work environments, or simply wanting to strengthen your practice, supervision with me can help you move toward your goals in a meaningful, clinically sound way.
Supervision sessions are available remotely via video call, or in person in Milton and Balclutha.
A frequency of once per f/night or once p/month is recommended
Professional Development Workshops
Professional development workshops are available periodically and by arrangement, offering practical, clinically-informed learning experiences for individuals and teams up to 15.
Workshop topics vary and include:
- Common mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia
- More complex presentations including trauma, PTSD, borderline personality disorder (BPD), and suicidality
- Behaviour management strategies, including identifying the function of behaviour, behavioural skills training, and managing aggressive or defiant behaviours
Workshops are designed to be interactive, relevant, and immediately applicable to your work. Whether you're looking to build knowledge, upskill your team, or enhance your confidence in managing challenging situations, these sessions are tailored to meet your specific needs.

Ethos' Approach to Mental Health
I am deeply passionate about making tools and knowledge available to our local communities so that every family will have people who know how to manage someone with anxiety, depression, or trauma.
Life’s too short to lose a day to poor mental health. That’s why I believe that empowering our communities with knowledge and practical skills isn’t just helpful — it’s essential for building a more resilient, compassionate, and empowering society.
