My Approach

My professional approach is trauma-informed, systemic, and relational at its core, with a strong emphasis on Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) to foster safety, connection, and meaningful change. As a systemic supervisor, I draw on systemic principles to guide my work with individuals, families and teams, ensuring that every perspective is heard and understood within its wider context. I work collaboratively with young people, carers and multidisciplinary teams, ensuring that all voices, particularly the young person’s, are heard and valued in planning and decision-making. I place a strong focus on reflective practice, early intervention and building resilience within both individuals and systems. Guided by a compassionate, strengths-based lens, I support teams to navigate complex situations with clarity and confidence while embedding sustainable strategies that create lasting positive outcomes.
