Supervision Training for Health Professionals
Become a Sensational Supervisor!
I have designed supervision courses tailored to the health professional’s needs so that you can gain the confidence to deliver exceptional supervision that elevates outcomes for supervisees, organisations, and clients.
This training is designed to be pragmatic and practical, allowing you to apply newly acquired skills through simulated supervision sessions. By seamlessly integrating theory and research, I will ensure that your supervisory practice is evidence-informed and highly effective.
I am a highly experienced supervisor who holds a postgraduate certificate in Clinical Supervision, and have co-authored several chapters in the recently published book “Supervision for Occupational Therapy: Practical Guidance for Supervisors and Supervisees”. Dancza, K., Volkert, A., & Tempest, S. (Eds.) (2023).
