My Story

I’ve spent over twenty years in education, from teaching to various leadership roles. Along the way, I’ve learned that real change doesn’t come from policies or systems alone—it comes from people. Building inclusive, collaborative school communities has always been at the heart of my work, ensuring that every child and every school staff member feels seen, supported, and able to thrive.

My own journey showed me just how heavy leadership can feel without the right support. Early in leadership, supervision gave me space to reflect and breathe; later, when that space disappeared, I felt the strain deeply. That contrast led me to my doctoral research, where I explore reflective supervision as a vital practice for sustaining teacher and leader wellbeing. It’s not a luxury—it’s a necessity that helps educators move from isolation to empowerment.

Now, I bring together my leadership credentials and experience–NASENCo, NPQH, MEd in Educational Leadership, alongside my Diploma in Supervision, and ongoing research to create reflective spaces for others. Whether mentoring new leaders, supporting SEND provision, or supervising school staff, my focus is the same: helping educators sustain themselves so they can sustain others. At its core, my work is about care, courage, and keeping humanity at the centre of education.

My Values & Beliefs

Building Stronger Communities

Reflective supervision creates a sense of community in schools by offering a shared space for listening and learning. When leaders and teachers feel connected rather than isolated, school culture shifts. Supervision strengthens collaboration, nurtures trust, and builds the kind of collective resilience that allows both staff and pupils to flourish together.

Leading with Compassion

Supervision is, at its core, an act of compassion. It gives educators permission to pause, reflect, and process the emotional demands of their role. By modelling compassion in supervision, schools embed it into their culture—staff feel supported, pupils experience greater care, and challenges are met with understanding rather than exhaustion.

Inclusion in Action

Through reflective supervision, inclusion moves beyond policy into lived practice. By holding space for diverse perspectives and experiences, supervision helps educators see patterns and barriers they might otherwise miss. This reflective work drives more equitable decisions, leading to holistic programmes that support every learner while also developing the confidence and wellbeing of staff.

My Approach

My supervision work is shaped by the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision (Hawkins & McMahon, 2020), a framework often used in the helping professions. What drew me to this model is its focus on relationships—because education, at its core, is relational too. It helps us pay attention not just to the tasks or outcomes, but to the connections, patterns, and emotions that underpin the work of teaching and leading.

In our sessions, I create a space that is both reflective and restorative. We slow down and notice what’s happening—between colleagues, with pupils and families, and within the wider system. This isn’t about rushing to solutions; it’s about seeing the bigger picture, making sense of challenges, and finding healthier ways forward. As others in the field of supervision have shown, the process can be both empowering and sustaining.

At the heart of my approach is care. Supervision is a chance to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what matters most. It allows educators to build resilience, feel less alone in their role, and carry their work with greater clarity and authenticity. In a profession that moves at full speed, supervision offers something rare: stillness, connection, and the freedom to be fully human in leadership.
