Catherine has played a pivotal role in supporting me through the recertification process. At times, I felt daunted and overwhelmed by the OT Board return to practice expectations. Catherine was able to breakdown these requirements in a reassuring and skilled way to make these requirements feel achievable and manageable. Through our supervision sessions, Catherine has guided and supported me to reconnect with occupational therapy principles that have progressed since I last practiced. She has also helped to strengthen my clinical reasoning and understanding, while also supporting me to navigate the practical and emotional aspects of returning to practice. Following my successful re-certification, her ongoing supervision has played a key role in helping me feel confident in my identity as an Occupational Therapist again.
I really enjoy supervision sessions with Louise, she encourages me to explore my clinical practice as well as my wellbeing. She is warm and encouraging and I feel comfortable sharing my thought processes. I enjoy our conversations and find her gentle probing questions help me to clarify my decision making. Louise brings a wealth of knowledge in delivering Occupational Therapy services as well as business practices. I appreciate the opportunity to share resources and explore new avenues of practice. She challenges me with gentle encouragement to try new approaches, like AI to enhance my practice.
I value my monthly Occupational Therapy supervision sessions with Louise, as they are much more than just a safe space to check in and discuss how things are going. I like that she provides timely and thoughtful feedback when needed, is supportive and curious, and at the same time challenges me to talk and think things through, reflect on a deeper level, and feel able to take the next step.
If you are looking for a supervisor who is professional, well read, and recognises all the complexities of health, and helps you grow personally and professionally, look no further. I cannot recommend the time I spend with Catherine highly enough.
Catherine has supervised me for a number of years and supported my growth and development from a practitioner working with tamariki and rangatahi through to management focused roles. Supervision with Catherine has helped me transition and develop my skill set from working with kiritaki to working with kaimahi. I value Catherine’s passion for reflective practice. I always feel lighter, more focused, full of inspiration, and ready to tackle any challenge after supervision.
