< Back Michelle Tukana I’m a Registered Social Worker and supervisor with over 20 years of experience walking alongside tamariki, rangatahi, adults, whānau, and the frontline professionals who support them. My career has spanned statutory health, child protection, and community-based organisations, with a strong focus on supporting tamariki, rangatahi, and whānau within child and adolescent mental health and alcohol and other drug (AOD) therapeutic services. Alongside my direct practice, I have held leadership and supervision roles, providing reflective, strengths-based supervision to social workers, mental health clinicians, and youth workers. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation of both the rewards and challenges of frontline practice, and a genuine passion for supporting practitioners to grow in confidence, capability, and wellbeing. My practice is grounded in a trauma-informed, strengths-based, and culturally responsive approach and I believe that meaningful change begins with connection. When practitioners feel supported, valued, and empowered, they are better able to bring their best selves to the people they walk alongside. That ripple effect extends to our rangatahi, whānau, and communities, creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and able to thrive. My Approach I offer supervision that’s reflective, practical, and sustainable—so you can keep showing up well for the young people you serve. Youth work is relational, fast-moving, and often heavy. My supervision style meets you where you’re at—practical, reflective, and grounded in real-world youth sector challenges like crisis response, boundaries, safety planning, engagement with hard-to-reach rangatahi, interagency collaboration, and sustaining your own wellbeing. Expect a space where you’re backed and stretched: we’ll celebrate wins, unpack the tough stuff, and turn values into clear practice steps.

< Back Leisa Moorhouse Tēnā koutou, he uri o Ngāpuhi ahau, me Ngāti Ingarangi, Ngāti Aerihi hoki. Kia ora from rural Tauranga. I am an experienced social work practitioner, supervisor and educator who has worked with rangatahi, children and whānau (across the lifespan) in youth mental health, child protection, health and palliative care. My husband and I have 2 adult sons who live between Wellington and home (I think it's the pantry and the cheap board that brings them back rather than seeing me!). I have two pet kunekune pigs, and enjoy cycling, growing stuff, and te taiao generally. I love supervision and aim for it to be a space where people feel safe to download, unpack what is going on, to provide tautoko and awhi, and to explore how to be your best self so that you can do the same for those you work alongside. To find out more about me see www.leisamoorhouse.nz My Approach I aim to provide a sense of āhurutanga / safe space to help you process what you need to in that space. I think your hauora/wellbeing is vital in terms of check in (and to ‘walk the talk’ with selfcare). I use a range of approaches, including Strength Based practice, whakataukī and pūrakāu, as well as tools like cards (no, we don’t play Poker!), whiteboard, and whatever supports your learning. I work with whatever you bring, and expect you to be open to reflection, to challenge and to growth so that you get the most out of sessions. I provide you with resources and links to support you in your ongoing professional and personal development.

< Back Vicky Finlayson Kia ora, I whakapapa from Northwestern Europe, through to Australia and Aotearoa. Born in Wellington I have called Aotearoa my home throughout my life and lived on the coast and in cities. I have two adult sons and 3 grandchildren. I work online only as I am currently travelling about NZ with my dog Wesley. There is space for new supervisees including people applying for NZAC full membership. My Approach My approach in supervision is one of warmth, encouragement, collaborative, reflective, responsive and practical. I have worked in NGO's over the past 15 years in various roles including Youth Support Worker, Lead Practitioner and Family Support Worker. I have a passion for supporting practitioners so they can continue to do the amazing mahi in Aotearoa, New Zealand. As a supervisor I have a passion for working with mental health and other professionals in maintaining their professional practice, navigating the issues which arise at work and sustaining professional wellbeing. Supervision is a reflective process, supporting people to prevent work place burn out, ethical professional practice and functional aspects of the work. My way of working with supervisees is building relationships which offer practical conversations, exploring how a person can move forward with what ever issues they are facing in their mahi. I am also mindful of practitioners wellbeing and encourage holistic conversations to support the whole person.

< Back Daniela Gonzalez-Bea My name is Daniela. I was born in Chile and have called Aotearoa home since I was 13 years old. I am now 48 years young and based in Auckland City, where I offer both in-person and online sessions. My in-person practice is located in Auckland Central CBD, and I am also able to explore options for travelling on-site to organisations supporting teams who may benefit from group or staff supervision. My work is woven across three main areas: individual sessions as a Clinical Arts Therapist, External Supervision, and group facilitation. I am a registered External Supervisor with MANZASW, an accredited ACC Sensitive Claims Therapist, Registered Social Worker, Clinical Arts Therapist, and experienced group facilitator. My practice is shaped by many years of working alongside diverse communities across Aotearoa, including Māori and Pacific communities, trauma-informed services, homelessness, addiction, mental health, youth services, and community-based organisations. This experience continues to inform my relational, creative, and culturally responsive approach to supporting individuals, practitioners, and teams. My Approach My supervision style is warm, relaxed, and relational. People often describe our time together as easy, conversational, and welcoming rather than highly formal or clinical. I believe that meaningful reflection happens when we feel safe enough to be ourselves. While the atmosphere is casual and playful, I also hold the importance of supervision with care and robustness. Together, we create a reflective space where curiosity, ethical practice, accountability, and professional growth remain at the centre. Grounded in the threads of Creative Arts and Expressive Therapies, I weave together conversation, mindfulness, grounding practices, metaphor, and expressive processes to support deeper reflection. I don't see myself as the expert with the answers; instead, supervision is a collaborative process that we co-create, drawing on your own knowledge, experience, and inner wisdom alongside my role as a reflective companion.
