David is passionate about encouraging and empowering Ministers, Christian leaders, chaplains and ministry students, and has built his expertise in this area over 35 years, across a number of settings, all while based in Western Australia.

Adam’s frame of supervision is an integrative approach anchored in existential-phenomenological style and other frames depending on the needs of the supervisee and supervision context.

My passion and my interest is in supervision and how best to work with supervisees so that the client also benefits. I work with an existential lens which is inclusive of other modalities and theories.

I currently work as a counselling supervisor in private practice and as an arts therapy education supervisor, therapist, educator and group facilitator. My experience as a supervisor includes: 8 years in refugee mental health as counselling coordinator (FASSTT Tasmania); graduate, higher degree and practicum supervision in therapeutic arts (Miecat); counselling and social work students on placement; counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, art/s therapists, neighbourhood house workers, nurses in palliative care, NDIS therapists.
I am a clinical member of PACFA and a member of the Tasmania Leadership Group. I completed the CEP supervision training (Wheel of Supervision) in 2011 and continue to receive SOS with CEP. I have a creative arts practice and I am interested in collaborative and creative approaches to supervision. I have an ongoing practice in the arts.

I have held senior leadership roles in ministry for 36 years and now offer Supervision to key leaders, in particular those with broader responsibilities including denominational leaders, educators, para-church leaders etc.
I love working with pastoral leaders to empower them to find their next frontier.
My focus is on personal transformation and learning in situ. I limit my clients as I love to pray individually for those I serve.

Professional supervision has been a source of support for those in the helping professions for many years. More recently, it has become apparent that the complexity of Christian ministry deserves and requires a similar level of professional support. Such support includes such functions as restorative care for times when ministry has been challenging or draining, formative encouragement for continued growth in ministry, and opportunities to reflect on healthy boundaries and respectful approaches to our work. Each of these concerns is best addressed in a reflective space which enables the supervisee to learn and grow in and for their ministry.

Anne provides supervision from her home in Wellington Point, Queensland – in person for those who live locally or on Zoom for those who live and work further afield. The frequency of your supervision sessions will depend on the requirements of your church, denomination or employing organisation, and your own preference, but fewer than four sessions per annum do make a good supervisory relationship more difficult to build and sustain.
