Workshops for Teams
Workshops tailored for your team needs
Creating and delivering workshops is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. I tailor every session to support your team's unique goals, balancing evidence-based frameworks with a healthy dose of collaborative humour.
Health Coaching Skills Sessions for Allied Health
Enhancing Client-Centred Practice & Goal-Setting
Blending motivational interviewing with solution-focused skills, these sessions help allied health teams transition from a passive treatment model to a highly collaborative, client-centred approach.
Key Outcomes:
- Effective Care Planning: Improve collaborative, values-based goal setting.
- Reduced Clinician Burden: Empower clients toward self-management rather than expecting ongoing, passive hands-on treatment.
- Better Resource Management: Master the skills needed to manage a boundaried episode of care and promote long-term health literacy.
Learning to be an Allied Health Supervisor
Supporting Grade 2 Allied Health & Practice Leads in Supervision Skills
Drawing from my extensive multidisciplinary community health experience, I provide supervisor training tailored specifically to the unique frameworks of Allied Health - which differ significantly from standard counselling supervision.
Key Outcomes:
- Role Transitions: Build confidence when moving from a peer/colleague to a clinical supervisor.
- Psychological Safety: Focus on reflective practices rather than simply "advice-giving."
- Navigating Team Dynamics: Gain tools to constructively manage reluctant supervisees and deliver growth-focused feedback.
Training Allied Health Supervisees on how to better approach supervision
Empowering Clinicians in Reflective Practice
While reflective supervision is a core skillset taught early in counselling, it isn't always explicitly taught in Allied Health. This workshop treats being a supervisee as a skill that can be practiced and mastered.
Key Outcomes:
- Active Engagement: Help clinicians proactively prepare for supervision and articulate their clinical needs.
- Elevated Practice: Move beyond just "asking for answers" into deep, independent reflective thinking.
- Workforce Longevity: Use supervision effectively to mitigate cumulative stress and vicarious trauma.
Staff Wellbeing & Resilience
Strengthening our Compassionate Inner Mentor as Clinicians & Teams
True resilience isn't an individual burden or a buzzword - it is a shared workplace culture. Drawing from my experience leading high-functioning teams in high-stress sectors, this session looks at burnout through a compassionate, whole-of-team lens.
Key Outcomes:
- Shared Responsibility: Reframe resilience as an organisational culture that includes leadership support.
- Managing the Inner Critic: Role-model how to build an "inner mentor" to combat perfectionism.
- Healthy Strivers: Promote a balanced workplace approach that embraces "good enough" to mitigate staff absence and fatigue.
Better Boundaries, Better Expectations
Enhancing Healthy Boundaries in Client Relationships
Through collegiate sharing, we look at what gets in the way of holding clear boundaries, evaluating the clinical risks of being too loose or too rigid.
Key Outcomes:
- Anxiety Reduction: Manage client and carer expectations safely to decrease dissatisfaction.
- Client Self-Efficacy: Affirm clear and healthy boundaries to naturally support client health literacy.
- Compassionate Assertiveness: Increase practical skills in saying "no" comfortably when managing attendance and session limits.
