Mentorship and supervision are essential for professional growth and maintaining safe, ethical practice. Viv’s journey has been profoundly shaped by the generous guidance of mentors and supervisors she has encountered across the clinical, disability, forensic, and child protection fields. These experiences have demonstrated to her that fostering competency and confidence in colleagues and supervisees directly translates to better outcomes for families, children, and clients in general. Through exemplary leadership and mentorship, Viv has learned that, much like branches on the same tree, professional development is deeply interconnected.

In our therapeutic approach, we are deeply committed to attachment and developmental theories. We believe that strong, supportive relationships are at the heart of effective clinical and supervisory work. Both clinical and reflective supervision are key to helping clinicians grow, hone their skills, and progress in their careers.
