ABout Me
My Background
Throughout my life, in every role I was in, I enjoyed mentoring and coaching. I love to see other succeed, to offer support when things are tuff, to encourage when the plateau seems endless, or to cheer on when victory is in sight. I am passionate about encouraging people to develop and grow so that they can achieve their dreams and reach their potential. However, along the way I realised the importance and work it takes to ensure a sustainable practices and longevity in our vocation. That was my calling as a teacher, student service manager, ministry leader, chaplain, pastoral care manager and leader – and it is still as a supervisor.
Alongside my professional journey as an educator and leader, I volunteered to co-found, led, and managed a cross-cultural outreach ministry. This ministry reached 600 young people every week. My work in leadership and management in education and not-for-profit organisations helped to develop my understanding and compassion for people in helping professions and ministry. I've learned that relationship proceed processes, and that success often stands on the shoulders of strong and respectful relationships.
Insights from my own experience and the research work I did for my MA degree on burnout, have given me intimate understanding of the passion that calls individuals to a vocation of helping others and the hidden risks they face. Many researchers and organisations acknowledge professional supervision as an important part of self-care and accountability in helping professions and ministry.
I have experienced and recognise the importance and value of having intentional space and time to stop and recalibrate.
That is what space 2 reflect is all about and what I provide through professional reflective supervision.
