“Michelle has worked with and supported students and new graduate social workers for over a decade. Michelle supervised me during the final year of my Applied Master of Social Work through Massey University. It was truly beneficial with the wealth of knowledge I gained.
Supervision during my last placement with Michelle really helped me grow into a new graduate social work practitioner.
Michelle works to create a safe space for you in supervision where you feel heard and able to deeply reflect, not only on your social work practice but upon yourself as an individual.
Michelle is great at acknowledging your feelings, thoughts, and opinions, all while gently challenging you to expand your reflections.
Through supervision with Michelle, I grew in both confidence and proficiency, but most importantly began my social work career with a new appreciation of the importance of effective and quality supervision.
I would highly recommend Michelle to any student or new graduate practitioner. Michelle has the skills to help you develop as a social worker and grow as an individual.”
