Find a Supervisor

I provide Pastoral Supervision to Pastors and leaders in church and Christian not for profit ministry throughout Australia. I support Supervisee’s either face to face or over Zoom. I have a Graduate Certificate in Pastoral Supervision through St Marks National Theological Centre and a MSc – Coaching Psychology through Sydney University.

I love walking beside church leaders.
I lead an organisation that wishes to see church leaders across Australia and New Zealand flourish, under God.

We are focussed on supporting pastors personally, spiritually and in their church leadership. We embrace the full scope of pastoral supervision (restoration, normative support and development) as a pastor considers the interplay between their soul, their role and the context in which they lead.

We appreciate that pastoral ministry is a very unique role that can come with significant isolation and challenges. We wish to see pastors lead themselves well and lead their church well, under God.

I am a member of Transforming Practices with 15 years of experience as a supervisor. I offer Supervision at Bathurst and by Zoom.

It can be hard to find a safe place to reflect honestly on the demands of pastoral ministry and leadership. I’m here to help you do that, so that you can love the journey and last the distance. Through building a relational connection I can “walk” with you and also give you opportunity to reflect on and examine what you are doing professionally for your own well-being and the benefit of others.

I offer more than 30 years pastoral experience including rural and suburban churches, school chaplaincy, church planting, team leadership and conflict transformation training. My areas of interest include spiritual formation, trauma informed care, leadership resilience, Christian education, managing change and conflict and team dynamics.

Ministry is complex and challenging. I have over 30 years experience in a diverse range of church and educational contexts and have personally found supervision valuable. I look to provide a place for you to be nurtured, encouraged and extended – to explore the messy intersection of faith, life and work in a way that is theologically and psychologically informed.

I seek to create a safe, intentional space for you to reflect on your practice thoughtfully – to gain clarity and renewed purpose. I’m able to meet online or face to face in Sydney and welcome opportunities to discuss supervision.

I am aware of the power that supervision offers to transform our work practices and our life. Creative, imaginative and client centred, my practice seeks to facilitate awareness, growth and opportunities. Presently working in healthcare as a chaplain and also a CPE supervisor.

I am an ordained Minister of the Uniting Church in Australia (UCA). I have served in two rural Parishes, as a Presbytery Minister – a regional role providing pastoral support to Ministers and Lay leaders along with strategic thinking, and as the General Secretary for the National Assembly of the UCA.
I have extensive ecumenical, international, and cross-cultural exposure and relationships. I have found that my experience across many ministry settings equips me to understand and support people in ministry whatever their context. For over 5 years I have developed an extensive ministry in providing Professional Supervision to Ministers and lay leaders across the country. Most of my sessions are delivered by Zoom. I meet in person when possible from a base on the Far South Coast of NSW. In addition, I am a nationally accredited mediator and a published author and teacher on consensus-based discernment across Australia and internationally.

It’s my pleasure and privilege to provide supervision to those in Christian pastoral ministry, chaplaincy, and other forms of community service within the not-for-profit sector.

In addition, I serve on the faculty of Alphacrucis University College, an Australian-based higher education institution, where I lecture in Theology and Ministry.

Prior to my role with AUC, I served for fifteen years on the full-time staff of Riverview Church, a large non-denominational congregation in Perth, Western Australia.

My time there involved a variety of roles including five years as an Executive Minister and three-and-a-half years as the Senior Minister.

Over twenty-nine years of full-time ministry, I have had the privilege of pastoring two churches and have extensive experience in leading, preaching, teaching, pastoring, and mentoring.

Besides my passion for ministers and their ministries, I have a deep love for nature and a particular interest in African wildlife photography.
