< Back Troy Wathey Hi, my name is Troy Wathey. I have over 20 years of experience working across government, NGOs, and private services, supporting individuals and couples through a range of challenges, including stress, relationships, mental health, and addiction. I hold a Master of Social Work and work as a CBT therapist, while remaining open to a range of other methods and therapeutic approaches. This provides a strong clinical foundation alongside practical, real-world experience. I would describe myself as grounded, client-centred, and solution-focused, with a strong understanding of the conflicts and stressors that come with the times we are living in. I aim to create a space that is both professional and easy to engage in, where you can feel comfortable being open and honest. I offer supervision and talk-based services across Hawke’s Bay and throughout New Zealand. My Approach I came into supervision after recognizing how important it is when it is done well. As you will learn the longer you are in field more support or guidance you will need at times. Effective social work supervision, with someone who genuinely wants to support others, can make a real difference in helping people stay in your employment and continue to grow and develop. I value supervision as a space for reflection, honesty, and ongoing learning. It supports the development of both professional skills and personal insight, helping you become not only a better social worker, but also a more grounded person. I aim to provide supervision that is supportive, practical, and meaningful, with a focus on real conversations that make a difference.

< Back Paul Thompson I have been a youth worker for the past 25+ years. 12 years of those have been primarily in a faith based context and the last 12 years in a charitable trust that I set up primarily to target vulnerable young people in our community. My wife and I have also spent ten years setting up and running a residential home for vulnerable teenage girls - we had up to 5 teenage girls at any one time living with us in our home. I have had experience in supervising and training youth workers through bible colleges, Weltec, Praxis and a number of youthwork organisations. I'm passionate about training quality youth workers who will last the distance. I have seen far too many youth workers in faith based, and non faith based situations burn out with good intentions, but not having the support or supervision to hone their skills and experience to best use. Self care from experience is so crucial to us in this profession for longevity which is what our communities and young people need. My current role at Upper Hutt Community Youth Trust is managing youth workers, and leading a non profit organisation, including funding, volunteers, and developing key relationships with stakeholders. If you're interested in exploring supervision, more than happy to sit down for an obligation free coffee and chat about what you are looking for out of supervision, and what I could offer. My Approach I'm a strength based, client led supervisor with 25+ years grassroots youthwork experience, in both faith based and community youthwork and management roles. I've had experience supervising a number of youthworkers both internally and externally to our organisation. Qualifications I have my Certificate in Supervision through Weltec.

< Back Paranahia Roera Riana Roera is an experienced and dedicated professional serving as a Team Lead for Te Waka Whaiora Reintegration Services. A qualified social worker since 2011, Riana brings over a decade of practical knowledge and commitment to supporting individuals and whānau through meaningful reintegration journeys. She completed her studies through Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, grounding her practice in kaupapa Māori values and approaches. Riana is deeply passionate about rongoā Māori and incorporates holistic wellbeing practices into her work, recognising the importance of cultural identity, connection to whenua, and spiritual balance in achieving positive outcomes. Her approach is strongly whānau-oriented, ensuring that the wider support system is engaged, empowered, and uplifted alongside the individual. With a leadership style that is both compassionate and strengths-based, Riana is committed to creating safe, culturally responsive environments where people can rebuild, reconnect, and thrive. My Approach I approach supervision from a holistic and reflective practice lens, ensuring that all aspects of my work—professional, cultural, emotional, and personal—are considered and aligned. My practice is grounded in kaupapa Māori values, where I recognise the importance of wairua, hinengaro, tinana, and whānau in both my own wellbeing and in the work I do alongside others. Reflection is a key part of how I engage in supervision. I come prepared to openly explore my decision-making, challenges, and growth areas, while also acknowledging successes. This reflective space allows me to continually strengthen my practice, maintain accountability, and ensure I am working in a way that is ethical, responsive, and mana-enhancing for those I support. I also use supervision as an opportunity to strengthen my connection with services and systems. Working in reintegration requires strong collaboration, and I value guidance that helps me navigate partnerships, improve interagency relationships, and advocate effectively for whānau. I aim to ensure that the support I provide is well-connected, accessible, and responsive to the wider needs of those engaging with services. Overall, I see supervision as a space for growth, guidance, and alignment—supporting me to lead with integrity, cultural awareness, and a continued commitment to holistic well-being I am avaliable via AVL, phone or can arrange a time where you can come to me. 😊 Qualifications * Level 8 Certificate in Kaitiakitanga – Professional Supervision, 2024 * Bachelor of Bicultural Social Work, 2011 * Rongoā Māori Level 4 Certificate, 2025 * Mahi Atua Training (completed) * SMART Indigenous Training Profesional Association Social Work Registration Board Connect with the Supervisor Directly riana.roera@hotmail.co.nz Previous Next

< Back Tracey Wakefield I’m a counsellor, supervisor and experienced leader with more than 20 years’ experience across counselling, addiction, family violence, restorative justice, community and social services. My career has included frontline practice, professional supervision and organisational leadership, as well as working alongside people and organisations through complexity and change. I currently work as a Chief Executive in the restorative justice sector alongside my supervision practice. My approach is grounded in relationships, curiosity and reflection, alongside the experience of having worked in a range of people-focused settings. I’m interested in supporting practitioners to think about their practice, develop their professional identity and make sense of the relationships and systems they work within. I don’t see myself as the right supervisor for everyone. Finding a good fit between supervisor and supervisee matters to me, and I value creating a supervisory relationship where you can be yourself and think openly about your work. https://traceywakefield.co.nz/ My Approach I see supervision as a space to slow down, think, reflect and make sense of the work — not simply a place to report on what you have been doing. My approach is collaborative, person-centred and curious. I want supervision to be a space where you can talk honestly about what is going well, what is difficult, and what you are not quite sure about. We might explore particular situations, professional relationships, boundaries, ethical questions, the impact of the work on you, your developing professional identity, or the wider systems in which you are working. I’m interested in both the practitioner and the practice. I draw on person-centred, narrative and solution-focused approaches, motivational interviewing and reflective practice. I also bring an awareness of neurodiversity and of the different ways professional environments can affect people. I don’t see myself as the expert who has all the answers. I bring experience, perspective and thoughtful questions, and sometimes a gentle challenge, to help you develop your own thinking and practice. For me, good supervision is a place where you can think out loud, be curious, question yourself without judgement, and leave with a greater sense of clarity about the work and your place within it.
