Social Work Supervision, Workshops & Consultancy for Helping Professionals to Connect, Reflect and Grow

You need space to process complexity, feel heard, and reconnect with why you do this work. For social workers, child protection practitioners, private practitioners and others in the helping professions- this is space for you.

Your Challenge

You’re doing important work- but you’re overloaded, with nowhere to pause or recharge.
Every day, you hold other people’s stories, manage crises, juggle complex systems and ethical dilemmas—often without a moment to catch your breath. When the demands pile up, you can end up feeling:

Overwhelmed and rushed- so busy you don’t have space to step back and reflect
Isolated- like no one truly understands your reality
Stuck- unclear which boundary to set or how to tackle it
Just surviving- without the time or support to truly thrive

Supervision and support shouldn’t be another tick-box exercise. It needs to be the place where you can finally pause, think clearly, and move from mere survival into genuine growth.

Testimonials

"I was so lucky to find Liz when I'd just opened my practice... which coincided with the first lockdown. Liz is based in Sydney and we've done all of our sessions online... its worked beautifully. Liz is fundamental not only to my business but to my mental health. She provides me a clear, calm, peaceful and humour- filled space to reflect on my work. But perhaps most importantly she allows me to be me. Liz thank you so much for your guidance and support. My business wouldn't be what it is without you. I'm so very grateful for you."
Sarah Newbold, Social Worker, Perth Holistic Counselling
“Thank you so much for our coaching experience. I always felt very safe, encouraged and supported during our sessions. I could be totally myself. Regardless of where I was during our sessions and whether I made a progress with my plan or not, you always cheered me up, motivated and supported me. I also loved your insight. You were able to see what I needed to realise and what I needed to hear at any particular time. That's an amazing gift! Your intuitive guidance and the art of active listening. Very empowering! I could not recommend you enough.”
Renata Popis - Soulful Business coach
“I started working with Liz at the beginning of the year when I found myself feeling 'stuck' and missing a social work perspective in my work and workplace. She has been so insightful and supportive of my goals and has been an incredible guide as I have been able to work my way towards my career goals. She has also been able to help me stay on track for them so I don’t get distracted by all of the smaller issues that may happen on a micro level. Her passion for professional development and burnout prevention is so clear which has been incredibly useful during these times. This is a woman you want on your team during a pandemic!”
