We’re co-creating a space by which the Supervision allows for holistic professional and personal flourishing. Empowering the growth of persons in their leadership, professional or ministry roles to live out their passion, values, commitments integrally.

Having worked in various cross-cultural settings for over 20 years, and with individuals and communities on the peripheries of society, I see how professional Supervision allows those who take their roles and responsibilities seriously have greater ethical practice and integral human development.

Professional Supervision provides a pathway where critical reflection, professional healing, ethical accompaniment and personal accountability is in dialogue with one’s professional life and practice, where the exercise of responsibility and leadership can be critically reflected upon for the wellbeing of self alongside the community that one serves.

I continue to work with professionals and ministers of various backgrounds, cultures and faith traditions, especially those who come from minoritized backgrounds, and those who work in areas of conflict, post-conflict recovery, social justice, community development, anti-poverty, anti-oppression and the defense of human rights.

Supervision in Bahasa, Cantonese, Mandarin, and English and other languages are available.

Supervision is about connecting with a broader/deeper/wider vision of your practice by taking a reflexive stance (that is looking back at yourself – at your practice) together with a skilled and compassionate other to come to new ways of seeing: who you are, what it is you do, the role others play, and the contexts in which you work. Supervision uncovers new possibilities for navigating the challenges and opportunities we face in the complex and nuanced roles and ecologies in which we work.

Reflective supervision is essential to the safe, ethical, sustainable, transformative, and critical practice at the heart of any professional role where the main ‘tool of the trade’ is ourselves, especially human services work in any context. I aim for a safe but also challenging place where practice and identity can be reflectively examined and transformation of both self and practice is enhanced for the benefit of the people and organisations we serve as well as for our own professional and personal growth.

Change is happening all the time, sometimes hidden, sometimes more apparent. Transformative supervision is about being more an agent of change that is: ethical, sustainable, integrative, informed by best practice; and to be less only tossed and turned on its waves and tides, however subtle or momentous.

I have a private practice in pastoral and professional supervision – Broadfield Supervision. With almost 30 years in spiritual care, community services and allied health, including supervisor and manager roles, I have qualifications and experience in social work, theology, management, social justice, dispute resolution, permaculture, training and assessment, and am I currently completing my supervision training with Transforming Practices (Sydney). I have worked in government, education (university and TAFE), local congregations, church and ecumenical organisations, and community, health, and emergency services.

I offer supervision over MS Teams (Video), phone, or face to face including ‘walking supervision’ (for face to face and phone supervision by negotiation).

I offer supervision to those who want to development a more reflective practice in their chosen profession. Through conversations, I believe supervision is a collaborative process that stimulates mutual learning, elicits insight and empowers the supervisee to stay healthy as they serve others. I offer supervision via online platforms and in-person where possible.
I have served in both missions and local church for over 40 years. My experience has included cross-cultural work, congregational pastoring, teaching, mentoring, leadership development and small group oversight. I love people.

I’ve been a Lutheran Pastor for 25 years, and have discovered in supervision a profound source of grace and freedom.
In my supervisory practice, I strive to cultivate a gracious, safe and welcoming environment so that supervisees can freely and deeply reflect on their practice.
Such reflection can lead to deep exploration, replenishment, and even the courage to draw new life from the complexities and tensions that come in ministry.
It’s also the threshold for change, transformation, and personal growth in our practice as a pastoral person.

I assist in helping cross professional supervisees reflect upon their assumptions, worldview, triggers, leadership style, and beliefs through a collaborative, creative approach utilising imagery and art, myth and archetype, shadow work and dreams, as well as through other expressive & embodied processes. Special emphasis is given to nurturing hospitality, presence, and shared wisdom during the sessions, whilst working with the unconscious to bring about deeper awareness, change and transformation.

As an experienced practitioner of pastoral care across congregational and health care services, I seek to provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore and express their feelings, beliefs, and values and to grapple with the big questions of life, particularly around professional practice, boundaries, ones sense of self, and one’s search for meaning and purpose.

Drawing on a diverse ministry experience including parish pastoral work, counselling, clinical social work in health settings, and spiritual mentoring, Damien’s contemplative approach to pastoral supervision encourages reflection and self-understanding to tap into one’s own wisdom for discerning ongoing growth opportunities.

Damien works as a spiritual companion and professional pastoral supervisor linked to The Carmelite Centre Melbourne and in his own practice. He is experienced in both individual and group supervision. 

Ordained to pastoral ministry in 2004, I have served as a pastor, chaplain, celebrant, and musician. I remain in touch with the daily reality of ministry life and am passionate about contributing to the health and well-being of other pastoral leaders in individual, small groups, and organisational settings. As a supervisor I have an understanding of how creative people tend to take up roles and I am open to utilising a range of creative modalities to facilitate inquiry. Located in Geelong, Victoria, I work one to one and in group settings, face to face and online as required.

A practice of reflective supervision for ministers and ministry workers. I come from the reformed and evangelical tradition but am open to working beyond as well.

Supervision is a safe and brave space where ministers can share and reflect on their ministry practice with a view to understanding themselves, their joys and challenges, and their ministry context better. My intention is to see ministers and ministry workers thrive, blessing the church, and honouring Jesus at the centre of it all.
