​Culturally aware supervision
I am committed to the journey of being a Pākehā kiwi - to honour Te Tiriti in word and action. As a supervisor I am interested in how your cultural heritage uniquely shapes you for your work in this place.

Testimonials

"I came into supervision lacking confidence and frantically trying to work through my current busy life season. I really appreciated your skilful reflective practice that provided me clarity and reassurance. Each session left me feeling empowered and refreshed, returning to my busy life with my feet firmly grounded. Your consideration of my cultural and religious values and the way they informed my own thoughts and feelings really supported me to see and acknowledge my own strengths." AV
"It was wonderful to work with Silvia in our external supervision space together in her guidance to really understand and slow down and tune in to my true position in reflection within my practice.  Not a lot of people can do that for me so I am grateful for Silvia's Christian background and also in support of some of the issues Christian women face.  Definitely uplifting." SC
