Pastoral Supervision

Supporting the Heart of Spiritual and Pastoral Work

At Wellbeing & Supervision Solutions, we offer specialised Pastoral Supervision for clergy, chaplains, pastoral carers, and spiritual leaders and those in formation or transitional ministry roles who are navigating the complex and often emotionally demanding work of supporting others. This reflective, confidential space is designed to nurture your professional practice, personal wellbeing, and spiritual integrity.

What is Pastoral Supervision?

Pastoral supervision is a collaborative and reflective process that supports those in ministry and spiritual care roles. It offers a regular space to explore the emotional, ethical, and practical dimensions of your work, helping you sustain your vocation with clarity, courage, and compassion.

Unlike performance review or counselling, pastoral supervision focuses on helping you reflect on your practice, strengthen resilience, and deepen your understanding of your role and identity in ministry.

Why Pastoral Supervision Matters

Those in pastoral and spiritual care roles often carry the weight of others’ pain and stories, while also navigating organisational demands, personal faith questions, and community expectations. Supervision provides a safe, structured setting to:

Reflect on complex pastoral encounters
Maintain healthy boundaries and avoid burnout
Navigate ethical and theological tensions
Strengthen emotional resilience and self-awareness
Stay aligned with your spiritual and professional values

Benefits of Pastoral Supervision

Reduces stress and prevents burnout
Enhances decision-making and ethical awareness
Encourages spiritual reflection and growth
Improves professional confidence and effectiveness
Promotes sustainability in long-term ministry

Group Supervision

Group Pastoral Supervision offers a safe, supportive, and professionally facilitated space for clergy, chaplains, and pastoral care workers—both male and female—to reflect on the emotional, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of their work. Through shared experience and guided reflection, participants gain insight, reduce isolation, and strengthen resilience in ministry and care roles. Our supervision groups are inclusive, confidential, and grounded in trauma-informed, values-based practice.

Faith Based Incident Debriefing

Faith-based debriefing provides safe, spiritually sensitive support for chaplains, ministers, and pastoral teams after critical incidents, emotional strain, or ministry challenges. Rooted in trauma-informed care and respectful of diverse faith traditions, our sessions create space for ethical reflection, emotional renewal, and spiritual wellbeing. With experience across churches, hospitals, schools, and faith-based organisations, we support those in spiritual leadership to care for others without losing themselves in the process.

My Approach

Supervision is grounded in compassion, professionalism, and deep respect for your calling. I am a registered psychologist and practicing Christian, currently completing a Graduate Certificate in Professional Supervision. I brings a wealth of experience in trauma-informed practice, ethical reflection, and emotional wellbeing, supporting those in ministry, chaplaincy, and spiritual care roles.

Whether you’re seeking pastoral supervision or professional support as a faith-based leader, I can tailor support to your unique context. Sessions are available online or in-person for those located in the Toowoomba region.

I work respectfully across denominations and faith traditions, providing inclusive, confidential supervision that honours both your beliefs and your professional setting.
