Professional Supervision is about reflective practice rather than reporting. It’s a supportive and enabling process where a trained supervisor and supervisee reflect on work practice together. The supervision relationship offers supervisees the reflective time, the safe space, and formal structure to notice, wonder, and realise fresh perspectives on current practice and professional identity.
For those in helping professions, this process of reflective practice counters burnout and compassion fatigue, helping build resilience so people can continue helping others.
The supervisee brings their focus for each session, and the supervisor guides the session through deep listening and questions. It is a sacred space where they listen together for the guidance of God.
Supervision provides a regular space to help ensure the supervisee is accountable to the ethical and professional standards of their ministry.
“I see supervision as vital for ongoing accountability and processing - also in my own practice of supervising others. I have valued having someone who would support, challenge and encourage me to look for understanding in God’s purpose and direction."

"Philippa has been a great sounding board and brought many tools for me to self reflect and allow me to encounter God's leading and guiding. I especially like all the creative approaches to supervision she offers."
