You Deserve Support That Supports You Back
Social Work Supervision and support that meets you where you are and helps you get where you want to go. Without the right space to pause, you risk running on empty both in practice and in purpose.
You’re Doing Important Work - But It Can Be Heavy
Reflective Space for the Work That Demands So Much of You
Every day, you show up for others. You hold stories, manage crises, juggle complexity, and navigate systems often with no time to catch your breath.
Supervision isn’t just a requirement. It’s the place where you can slow down, make sense of things, and reconnect with why you do this work. You deserve support that sees the whole of you, not just your role or your to-do list.
Support Designed Around You
Trauma-Informed, Real-World Supervision for Practitioners
Whether you’re sitting with ethical dilemmas, questioning your next steps, navigating team dynamics, or just trying to stay steady in the messiness of frontline work, you need support that gets it. We won’t just talk about what’s happening in your role, we’ll also explore the systems behind it. I’m not afraid to name when capitalism, colonisation or the patriarchy are part of the problem.

Why Liz?
18+ Years in the Sector. Still Learning. Always Listening.
Hi, I’m Liz Andrew-Brake, an AASW-accredited social worker. I’ve carried the weight of complex cases, led teams through crises, and sat in child protection meetings that left me gutted. Yes, I’ve been burnt out, questioning whether I could keep doing the work I once loved.
I’ve worked across child protection, non-government, and frontline social work in Australia, Aotearoa NZ, and the UK for more than 18 years. I’ve seen what helps us last and what breaks us down.
The biggest difference for me (and the people I’ve supported) hasn’t been a checklist or rigid framework. It’s been the right kind of support: reflective space with someone who listens, is flexible, challenges with care, and truly gets it.
I’m not a stiff, clipboard-toting supervisor, I’m more of a curious champion who’ll hold space, ask the real questions, and probably laugh along the way. And yes, I’ll absolutely talk about how capitalism and the patriarchy shape the systems we work in- ummm because they do!
You deserve supervision and support that gives back so you can keep showing up in a way that feels true to who you are.
What You Can Expect
A space that feels safe, collaborative, and centred on what you need
A mix of warmth, curiosity, and constructive challenge
Supervision and support that’s grounded, responsive, and practical
Room to think slowly, breathe deeply, and realign with what matters
Whether we work together 1:1, in a group, or through a workshop- you’ll be met with respect, not judgment.
