What people say

“Janine’s discernment and listening ear is invaluable as I have met her each month for over a year. It is a safe space for the jumbled emotions of the ups and downs of serving cross-culturally to bubble up into words and images. Janine helps me identify what is the key topic for me to focus on in our session, guides me as I seek for deeper clarity and encourages me as I simplify my next steps to greater wellbeing and effectiveness in my work.”

M, Cross-cultural Worker

Janine created a safe place for me during supervision. She built a high level of trust with me through her listening skills, which allowed me to be comfortable voicing my thoughts, knowing she would respond with  insight that challenged me to grow in my reflective practice to be a better coach/counsellor.

Peta, Helpline Support Worker

“Pastoral supervision with Janine has been a really worthwhile exercise. Janine’s broad ministry experience means she brings a solid understanding of ministry challenges, and valuable insights into handling them. Her diligent preparation, creative approach, sympathetic posture and probing questions have helped me to press on in ministry in a healthy way.

Tom, Anglican Assistant Minister, Northern Sydney

“Professional Supervision has allowed me to realise that it’s ok to think about my own needs. I have been empowered to set boundaries, I have learned to take control and to know that it’s ok to say no. I feel at peace knowing that with God’s help and guidance I am free to choose, make changes and trust my own judgement in choosing what is best”.

S, Ministry Support Coordinator

“Janine was relaxed and an active listener; asking pertinent questions and offering helpful insights throughout our discussion. It was great to have my work affirmed and to know that God cares for all of me. Time with Janine helped me gain greater clarity about decisions and choices I need to make so that I’m able to keep serving Him with joy and energy.”

A, Educator

“Originally I felt annoyed at being told to have Professional Supervision. However, Supervision with Janine for the last 18 months has been thoroughly life giving and affirming. I’ve been stretched to reflect more deeply via Janine’s insightful questions and her drawing me back to ‘the matter at hand’. Janine has skillfully led me to see other perspectives on matters that I’ve brought to our sessions. Supervision with Janine is both helpful and useful as I traverse parish & diocesan ministry.”
