Approach to Supervision

Supervision is an opportunity to reflect on practice and to think critically about your work. Denise supports her supervisees to step back and look at the bigger picture and consider different perspectives, approaches and connections in their work. Mental health and wellbeing are central and ensuring supervisees engage in self-care practices is encouraged.
