Supervision has been my life-line, and has enabled me to have a long fulfilling work life. Without the support of my various supervisors over the years I would not still be practicing. Supervision has provided a safe space to explore not only the practice of Dietetics but the effect that working with complex clients can have on you as an individual, potentially impacting your personal life, as well as professional.

​

The focus of supervision is to support clinicians to develop as a professional in order to provide ethical, sustainable, and competent service where the welfare of the client and the quality of care they receive is paramount. It is also to support clinicians in maintaining a love of the profession that they have chosen and to prevent burnout. This occurs through developing a supportive relationship with regular contact in a supportive environment.

 

Clinical Supervision is a service that provides a confidential space for supervisees to learn, reflect and explore solutions to challenges in all aspects of their work with an experienced practitioner who has been trained to facilitate supervision (Tara MacGregor, 2022).

​

I am now offering supervision for Dietitians to enhance their clinical practice and facilitate a more productive and enjoyable career. Having worked as a Dietitian for over 35 years, I would not be in practice still if it wasn't for other wonderful Dietitians supporting me through the ups and downs of being a health professional. We are working with people either during challenging times of their life, or with very sensitive issues and it is important for them and us that we take care of our mental health.​

​

The supervision I offer will be in alignment with my professional areas of work and values. I offer supervision that explores what it is to work with the whole person, whilst keeping within our professional boundaries as a Dietitian.
