Healing for Every Body
Services
Reflective practice cultural supervision is for staff and practitioners seeking a supportive culturally safe space to be deeply listened to. This supervision is not therapy; rather, it is a collaborative process focused on exploring individual experiences, thoughts, and feelings arising from work with clients, colleagues, and complex families. Reflective practice supervision provides a culturally safe environment where practitioners can openly examine challenges, fears, and questions without judgement. This approach supports safe and high-quality service delivery, strengthens therapeutic practice with complex families, and enables practitioners to gain personal insight and develop their own solutions, leading to improved outcomes for families.
Joy holds a Master of Social Science (Counselling) and brings extensive experience to her counselling practice. She is deeply committed to trauma-informed approaches and prioritises creating a space where clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely welcomed. This is a culturally safe, strictly confidential, and highly professional counselling service. If you are seeking someone who will deeply listen without judgement, this service offers a respectful and compassionate space to be heard. Counselling provides the opportunity to have a safe yarn and feel deeply listened to, particularly during times of stress or overwhelm when thoughts can feel difficult to organise or understand. Joy supports clients to gently and gradually explore their experiences through one-on-one yarning. Often, through yarning in a safe space, it’s easier to make sense of things. Sessions are offered Face-to-Face and on-line via Teams or Zoom.
