For professionals
Two things live on this page. If you're a social worker or community-sector practitioner looking for reflective practice or external supervision, start with clinical supervision. If you're an allied health or NDIS ecosystem professional who'd like to refer a family to Jodie, start with referrals.
Clinical supervision and reflective practice
Reflective practice and external supervision for people doing some of the hardest work in the sector. I provide supervision for social workers (registered and pre-registration), community services practitioners, child protection workers (statutory and non-statutory), family support workers, and kinship and out-of-home care workers. My grounding is nearly thirty years across child protection, out-of-home care, disability, and early intervention — so the context you're bringing to supervision is context I've sat in. If you're an allied health practitioner (OT, speech, psychology), an NDIS support coordinator or support worker, a behaviour support practitioner, or a disability support worker, this supervision isn't the right fit for your scope of practice — you'll be better served by a supervisor inside your own discipline.
Individual clinical supervision
My approach is reflective, trauma-informed, and grounded in real-world practice. Sessions are a reflective conversation, not a checklist. You bring the case, the team dynamic, the notification, the decision you're sitting with — and we work through it together.
I use the PASE Model, a structured “neuro-care” supervision framework designed to guide focused, effective supervision conversations and support high-quality practice. Alongside that, the reflective-practice traditions this audience already knows (Kadushin, Morrison, Proctor, Hawkins & Shohet). Underneath all of it: attachment, child development, the neurobiology of trauma, strengths-based practice, and lived experience as a parent of neurodivergent children.
I support practitioners to deepen their understanding of complex family systems, strengthen clinical reasoning, and respond with clarity and confidence.
If your internal supervisor is also your line manager, I also offer external, line-management-aware supervision — a separate reflective space that sits alongside your line-management supervision rather than replacing any statutory or registration-required supervision your employer or professional body signs off on. This is often what registered social workers, child protection workers, and community-sector practitioners are looking for when they seek supervision outside their agency.
The approach suits high-acuity, case-complex work: statutory and post-statutory contexts, vicarious trauma, ethically loaded decisions, and the neurodivergence-layered families many of you are holding. You won't be asked to translate your sector for me.

Group Reflective Practice
Small-group reflective practice online, for the same audience. Groups are capped at eight practitioners so every voice fits into a two-hour session.
These sessions provide a safe, facilitated space to:
- Reflect on complex work with children and families
- Explore practice challenges and decision-making
- Strengthen shared learning and professional insight
- Reduce isolation and support practitioner wellbeing
Sessions are grounded in reflective practice and guided by structured strengths-based supervision principles, ensuring discussions remain purposeful, supportive, and relevant to real-world work. Online is deliberate, not a compromise: it lets practitioners in regional SA, small agencies without an internal supervision culture, and interstate colleagues share reflective space with people doing the same work, without a three-hour drive each way.
- Individual reflective practice — 60 min — $120
- Individual reflective practice (extended) — 90 min — $150
- Group reflective practice — 2 hours — $70 per person (5–8 people)
Not sure whether it's a fit?Request a supervision fit-check — a short discovery conversation over message or a scheduled call, so we can check scope, timing, and whether the way I work suits what you're looking for.
Referring a family to Jodie
For allied health practitioners, NDIS support coordinators, paediatricians, GPs, school staff, early-intervention teams, and anyone else working with a family who might benefit from parent coaching.
Jodie provides parent coaching for families of neurodivergent kids, teens, and young people — coaching for the adults who parent, not therapy and not child-directed work. The approach is trauma-informed, attachment-aware, and neuroaffirming, grounded in nearly thirty years of sector experience. See For families for the full offering and pricing.
Good fit: parents of neurodivergent kids, teens, or young people; no diagnosis required; all neurotypes welcome; NDIS self-managed and willing plan-managed participants.
Not the right fit: families needing psychological therapy, mental-health treatment, or child-directed therapy — please refer those families to a registered clinician instead.
Practical notes: in person within Adelaide metro; online across Australia. SMS-friendly. Jodie aims to respond within three business days. Written referral letters are welcome but not required — the form below carries everything she needs to reach out to the family.
