Clinical Supervision, Consultation & Systemic Supervision Groups
Supervision offers a space to pause, reflect, and think more deeply about your work—especially when the complexity of practice, relationships, and systems can feel demanding both personally and professionally.
I have over 20 years’ experience providing clinical supervision to a wide range of professionals across NGOs, public mental health services, private practice, and counselling settings.
Alongside this, I have lectured and examined on the Postgraduate Certificate in Systemic Therapies at the University of Otago, developed and led reflecting family therapy teams within DHB services, and provided supervision to multidisciplinary teams, care and protection services, and advanced psychiatry trainees.
My approach to supervision
My supervision is grounded in systemic thinking and concepts, while also drawing on ideas from attachment theory, trauma-informed practice, acceptance and commitment therapy amongst others.
I aim to offer a space that feels thoughtful, collaborative, empowering and grounded in real-world practice—where your existing knowledge and experience are respected and built upon.
Together, we can:
reflect on your clinical work in a safe and supportive space
explore the relational dynamics between you and your clients
consider the ethical dimensions of practice, including power, culture, and difference
think about how your own experiences and context shape what you bring to your work
strengthen connections between theory and practice
navigate complexity, uncertainty, and professional dilemmas with greater clarity
Systemic Clinical Supervision Groups
Small, closed groups for deeper learning and connection
These groups are designed for clinicians who want to deepen their systemic thinking, strengthen their practice, and learn alongside others in a reflective and supportive environment.
Working in a small group creates space for rich conversations, shared learning, and thoughtful exploration of clinical work.

Supervision Testimonials
“Mandy’s supervision style is open, honest and safe. As a student counsellor, Mandy has created a trusting environment where both my strengths and growth areas are highlighted in equal measure.
Her insights are generally backed by relevant articles that support growth in theory to practice and practice to theory. Her decisiveness and ability to articulate concepts in ways that are easy to understand is really helpful.
Thank-you Mandy for a year of amazing learning.”
