Find a Supervisor

Amy grew up in a minister’s home in the United States and began working in the local church there in 2003. For the past 13 years she has lived in Sydney and served a range of ministries in local churches and at Moore College. She knows first-hand the joys, challenges, and sorrows of ministry. Her passion is to help those serving in ministry to make the most of the opportunities God has given to them through intentional reflection. She believes everyone needs a designated space to safely discuss their practice, feel supported and heard, and remain healthy in their work.

Annette has held senior leadership roles in ministry for over 22 years at both a local and regional level. In that time she has been trained in faith based coaching, mentoring and professional supervision to meet the growing need for support for Christian leaders and people of faith in influential spaces. Her best fit is with those who serve in an area of leadership and influence and because of her lived experience, women who hold roles in Church and community spaces.

I am a qualified professional supervisor with extensive experience in health care and military chaplaincy and local church/parish ministry. I seek to provide a safe place to reflect on who you are in ministry and explore possibilities going forward. I am also qualified and willing to provide supervision to professionals in other disciplines.

I have a heart to see leaders flourish! With over 20 year’s experience in senior leadership, ministering in the local church and in the Christian School community, I have come to greatly value the role of supervision in providing a supportive, confidential and constructive opportunity for reflection and recalibration in the midst of a leader’s busy schedule. With 25 year’s school board governance experience I have a particular heart to support leaders whose church ministries include the added complexity of a Christian School, and also to support women in senior leadership positions in churches and schools. I currently enjoy supervising chaplains and pastors across various denominations. I offer a free, no obligation initial session to allow potential new supervisees to get a ‘feel’ for the supervision I provide. I am confident that professional supervision makes an important contribution to ensuring the sustainability, effectiveness and enjoyment of each leader’s role.
