Professional Supervision

# Professional Supervision with Gabby O’Reilly

Based in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, Gabby provides professional supervision in person or online via Zoom — available to social workers and allied professionals throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.

# What is Supervision?

Supervision is your time, led by you. It is space to unpack, grapple with, critically reflect and work through whatever is on top and important for you. This happens in a confidential and neutral space, outside of your organisation.

As our professional and personal lives do not exist in isolation, Gabby explores your wellbeing from a holistic perspective. Supervision is regularly reviewed and adjusted to meet your needs.
