Kia ora e te whānau! Ko Laura toku ingoa.
I'm a Registered Social Worker and Professional Supervisor with experience across a range of settings including youth AOD, child protection, housing, youth development and community-based practice. I am passionate about supporting practitioners to reflect, explore complexity and feel confident and supported within their mahi. I am currently a Practice Lead at an NGO and also work in private practice providing supervision to practitioners of different backgrounds. I have been working as a social worker for the past 9 years, with almost ten years of youth work experience prior to that.
My Approach
I provide reflective, strengths-based supervision, supporting a collaborative space where practitioners can explore challenges, celebrate successes, strengthen their practice, maintain their wellbeing and grow in confidence in their mahi.
