Getting the right support within your work can enliven your passion and enhance your purpose and competency within your role. Good supervision can be a wonderful support for you professionally; a place to celebrate what’s gone well, to reflect on your work practice, to identify your professional goals and passions, to explore difficulties with your teams members and possible solutions…and an outlet to have a rant safely and confidentially if you need to! A good supervisor will help you to feel supported and extended in your role.
Nickei has been providing individual and group supervision and mentoring since 1999, to counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, community support workers, and managers within commercial business settings and in the not-for-profit sector.
Nickei has significant management experience, so has an understanding of team dynamics, possibilities and challenges. She really enjoys working with people to support them in their work and within their life. Nickei has a process focused, relational approach and a strengths based philosophy. She is happy to offer a trial period, to determine if there is a good 'fit' in working together.
Nickei runs trainings on “Growing wellbeing: preventing stress and burnout”. This can be sculpted to the needs of your team or organisation.
