Facilitating organisational, professional, and personal change…
Clinical supervision is a formal professional relationship between clinicians, which facilitates reflective practice, explores clinical & ethical issues, and supports skill development.
Tracey Hammett utilizes an integrative and transformational approach to Clinical Supervision borrowing from a range of models and approaches according to the needs of the group or supervisees.
Each supervisee, or group of supervisees, comes with a unique blend of experience, knowledge, clinical skills, personal qualities and a range of goals & motivations driving their choice to attend supervision. Tracey utilizes her skills and experience to assess the needs and goals of all stakeholders and blends them into a comprehensive & transparent supervisory process.
