Silvia Purdie
Hi, tēnā koe. I'm Silvia, based in Upper Hutt. I loved my years as a youth co-ordinator, and these days I love supervising students and youth workers (plus I run a school holiday programme just to keep my hand in!). I also have a training business (www.conversationscounselling.nz/seminars) and co-lead a national mental health network. I'm a Pākehā with Pacific roots, and an ordained minister. www.conversationscounselling.nz
My Approach
My job as supervisor is to support and encourage you, and help you grasp the insights and clarity you need to excel. My approach is - warm & relational - strength-based and solution-focused - somatic, trauma-informed and holistic - offering a spiritual dimension
