I offer supervision to people involved in Christian ministry, especially clergy. I have 35 years experience in ordained ministry in Australia and overseas. I am passionate about developing younger people in ministry, and encouraging healthy ministerial practice.

I help people identify opportunities and proceed with integrity, hope, and impact. I delight in helping people succeed in harmony with the principle of loving God and loving their neighbour.
I became a follower of Christ in 1986 and was ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church, Sydney Diocese, in 1994. For 22 years, I exercised executive leadership in Anglican churches in various parts of Sydney, preferring collaborative partnering with people of diverse backgrounds. In 2015, I joined Anglicare Sydney and became experienced in working in a large-scale corporate environment. A stroke in early 2022 prompted my return to direct pastoral provision and I now work as a Chaplain at a nursing-home. I have been married to Kaye for nearly 40 years and have 4 children, who are now adults.

34 years in Pastoral Ministry in the Anglican Church. Led Churches in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, the Sth Coast, Canberra and currently Senior Chaplain at the Anglicare Retirement Village Castle Hill.

I offer pastoral supervision for those in ministry contexts, whether church settings, hospital and school chaplaincy, church and other leadership positions, and do this in either face-to-face settings or via Zoom. I enjoy the privilege of entering the world of the supervisee, life-long learning, and integration of theology and practice.
