Professional Supervision
I offer professional supervision to counsellors, counsellor educators, psychologists, mental health workers, and counselling students .
I offer professional workplace supervision to Team Leaders, managers and employees. I have worked for Employee Assistance Programme companies for over 25 years so I have knowledge and understanding of workplace needs.
I supervise from a reflective practice model and can work from specialist approaches, as required, such as cognitive therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, narrative practice, solution-focused therapy and couples therapy.
Professional Supervision Qualification and Experience
I have been a supervisor for over 20 years and have an Advanced Certificate in Professional Supervision.
I feel privileged to assist practitioners to grow their therapeutic ability and professional identity. My practice is informed by regular supervisee feedback and review.
My background as a senior counsellor educator means I have an in-depth knowledge of counselling education programmes and counselling practice to assist me in supervising students learning the practice of counselling.
I can help and support new beginning counsellors in their process of becoming full members of New Zealand Association of Counsellors. I have been a membership panel interviewer for New Zealand Association of Counsellors since 1989.
My role as the Continuing Professional Development and Audit Co-ordinator has equipped me with a full understanding of New Zealand Association of Counsellors professional development processes and standards.

“It was really helpful to talk to Niccy, a professional, outside of my family and work. I used to think “Toughen up, counselling is only for people with real problems. ” Through counselling I understood my self limiting behaviours and how I have been preventing things from happening in my life. I felt supported by Niccy to take practical, positive steps to improve my relationships and self-confidence. It was a very useful process.” - Counselling Client
