Welcome Chaplains and Scripture Teachers
The heart of your work—bringing the love of God and the good news of Jesus to children and young people through chaplaincy, camps, missions, and school programs—is both beautiful and demanding. In emotionally complex and spiritually stretching environments, it's vital to have support that nurtures your faith and sustains your calling. As a qualified provider of Professional Pastoral Supervision, I offer a confidential, spiritually grounded space where you can reflect deeply, build resilience, and stay connected to the heart of your ministry. This page is here to walk alongside you as you continue your faithful service.
A supportive structure for those new to reflective supervision.
Some of you may have had experience with supervision before, while others may be new to this kind of reflective practice. Wherever you're starting from, you're welcome.
I’m here to help you be seen, heard, and accompanied in your role. To create the confidential space that help’s you pause, reflect, and gain insight as you serve on the frontline. If you’d like a bit of structure to begin with, I can offer a flexible scaffold — like bamboo: light, supportive, and able to bend and move with your needs.
The focus of supervision is always you - your context, your ministry, and the people you serve. Our first session will centre on what matters most to you and what you hope to gain from our time together. From there, we’ll shape a path that supports your growth, resilience, and clarity in the work you’re called to do. Feel free to click on the headings to see if something resonates with you for our time together.
