Kathy warmly welcomes all those who work in helping professions into the supervision space regardless of your level of experience, culture or beliefs.

Engaging in supervision also benefits those we serve. Kathy aims to provide a warm and supportive supervision space both in person and online. She is compassionate and willing to continue to learn and grow herself in order to support each person she supervises.

Much of this work has been in multicultural settings. Kathy has also had experience going to her own supervision over those years and continues to experience the many benefits herself. Kathy holds a Bachelor of Education (primary), Bachelor of Theology, a CPE unit and a Grad Cert in Supervision for the Helping Professions.

Welcome to my website bio. I have been a Catholic priest for 48 years working in eight different countries in Retreats, Seminars, Spiritual Direction and Supervision. I am a member of the Conference of Spiritual Directors (CSD)for many years. I have completed the Supervision Program at the Heart of Life Spirituality Centre in Melbourne. I recommend it as a great experienced/practice program. I work with people one to one or through Zoom throughout Australia and beyond. 

Guided by a deep commitment to establishing exceptional rapport with supervisees, Kirsten views Reflective Professional Supervision (RPS) as a type of stewardship, reflecting a profound dedication to fostering exceptionally supportive and effective working relationships with her clients. Those who engage with her affirm her remarkable ability to establish an authentic and focused RPS space where expressions, spoken and withheld, find resonance, eliminating ineffective chit-chat and setting the stage for profound reflection. She uses varied thought provoking and connection illuminating approaches to invite and promote deep reflection.

Her invitational, warm, and wholly authentic approach demonstrates a commitment to others-focused reflection and care. Kirsten draws from clients’ lived experience, inviting openness to contemplative concepts or perspective that may not have been effectively considered before.
While Kirsten’s professional experience lies within the school leadership sector, she works broadly with clients in many professional roles, emphasizing its value irrespective of experience, age, or sector.

I am a supervisor and spiritual director with post-graduate degrees in Supervision, Spiritual Direction and Theology (through the University of Divinity). I invite each supervisee into a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment of enquiry and reflection, accompaniment and encouragement, evoking new ways of seeing. I am a contemplative practitioner offering supervision to all who work in pastoral care (Pastoral Care workers, Chaplains, Ministers of Religion, Spiritual Directors and students in formation), both individually and in small groups. Currently I supervise people locally, nationally and internationally.

I see people on zoom for a 50 minute session.

Michelle is a Professional Supervisor who enjoys working with individuals and groups who think and work outside of the box. Her particular framework for supervision emphasises embodiment and creativity, trusting deeply in the skill and wisdom of the supervisee to activate their own professional flourishing.

Michelle currently works with supervisees in the fields of spiritual care, chaplaincy, community work, social entrepreneurship and academia. Her own professional background has traversed a diverse array of contexts working with people including Christian Ministry (university, agency and parish) and Embodied Mindfulness (meditation, Open Floor and 5 Rhythms). She completed her Supervision Training with the Centre for Existential Practice in 2022 and also holds a PhD in social theory and contemplative hermeneutics. She continues to write and practice around the theme of justice, love and spiritualities in contemporary secular contexts.

Working with Michelle begins with an open conversation about the supervisee’s context, their desired outcome for supervision and the question of ‘fit.’ Together, we will build a collaborative space for professional supervision which is then reviewed and renewed periodically.
