About me

I am a registered nurse qualified in Perinatal Infant mental health. I am passionate about supporting clinicians to reflect on their practice and expand on their knowledge and skills so they can provide high quality clinical interventions to the populations they interact with.

My experience

I have worked in the public mental health system for over 20 years primarily working with women and their families in the perinatal period, who are experiencing mental health challenges during the transition to parenting. My work has also involved supporting clinicians who see these families, by providing education, supervision, case reviews and service delivery/referral pathway advice to the health district.

My current role/work

I currently provide reflective supervision to mental health drug and alcohol clinicians, a midwifery group practice and mental health research/training project officers.

My training

Masters in perinatal infant mental health
Solihull interventions- staff and parent groups, supervision, train the trainer
Reflective Clinical Supervision- Geraldine Burton
Reflective practice workshop- Clinical Excellence Commission
Clinical Supervision theory and practice- Health education training institute

My approach to supervision

Within my supervision sessions I provide a containing safe space for clinicians to reflect on their work practice. I work with an attachment informed lense and draw on concepts from both the Gibbs and Solihull reflective models.
