Educators are the heart of our schools—guiding, supporting, and inspiring students every day.

Yet, the emotional and ethical demands of teaching can be overwhelming, leading to stress and burnout. Recent studies highlight that 78% of education staff have experienced poor mental health due to work-related pressures .

Professional pastoral supervision offers a confidential, reflective space where you can process challenges, reconnect with your purpose, and build resilience.

It's not about performance reviews or counseling; it's about supporting your well-being and professional growth.

By engaging in pastoral supervision, you invest in your capacity to thrive in your role, ensuring you can continue to make a meaningful impact in your students' lives.

As a trained pastoral supervisor, I'm here to walk alongside you, providing the support you need to navigate the complexities of your profession.

A scaffold for those in education

Some of you may have experienced supervision before, while others might be stepping into this reflective space for the first time—or returning with fresh intention. Wherever you're starting from, I’m here to support you in your journey.

Supervision offers you a confidential space to pause - to be seen, heard, and accompanied as you reflect on your work and wellbeing. It's a place where you can make sense of your experiences, reconnect with your values, and strengthen your resilience in the important work of education.

While some people come naturally to reflection, others may appreciate a bit more structure. If that’s you, I can offer a flexible scaffold — like bamboo: light, supportive, and able to move with your needs. If you're looking for inspiration, feel free to click on the headings (right) to explore some themes we might draw on in our sessions.

The focus of supervision is always you — your context, your work, and the students and communities 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, clarity, and well-being in the valuable work you’re doing.
