< Back Anne Honey-Monk Hi there, my name is Anne i am on level 49 in the game of life. I have one husband, two adult children and two very precious beautiful mokopuna. I have an "old McDonald type home life which includes Teddy the Border Collie, his two fur cat sisters Incah and Thai, Pigs along with piglets, too many chickens to count and the good old sheep n lambs. Life is fairly diverse to say the least. Finding my own place in a complicated world has gifted me the ability to see the potential of growth we all have within. Life can be a rollercoaster and having the ability to know how to get on and off the platform is crucial in self-care. I absolutely love working alongside people in their journey of self-awareness, acceptance and finding what matters in their life. I entered into the helping profession from a relatively young level of life approx. level 23 where i assisted youth at risk. From there I grew as a Tautoko Whanau worker which rolled into over a century of frontline child protection. Today at level 49 i am a qualified health improvement practitioner which I absolutely love every day. Through my journey of getting here i have learnt many lessons in the helping profession with the number one being self-care - this is what i promote in my supervision practice. My Approach External supervision offers a valuable opportunity to reflect critically on your practice, gain new perspectives, and enhance your professional development, ultimately improving service delivery and self-care. It may aid you in developing leadership skills with a focus of self-awareness, and confidence, and encourages reflective practice and continuous learning. As I am trained in functional acceptance, commitment therapy (FACT) a focus I bring into my external supervision sessions is self-acceptance and commitment. In this space I, as a supervisor would walk beside you through your critical reflection as this would be your journey - You are the professional in your life including your practice I am just there to provide gentle guidance.
