What's it all about? 

"It's a conversation. Between you and me, and possibly others. It's an opportunity to meet professional responsibilities, to reflect on personal and professional aspirations, to have a safe space to speak and a safe place to dream. It's a place to develop and learn and recognise achievements. It's building confidence." (Bridget, Director)

Make an enquiry

It's nice to meet you!

 

Bridget has reached out for different people at different times for supervision, mentorship and coaching.  Sometimes formally and sometimes informally. The value of this cannot be expressed - it has helped shape resilience, it has helped develop skills, it has helped overcome challenges. 

Sometimes you need someone to guide, to support or to offer a new perspective and prompt change.  The relationship is oh-so important, so reach out and have a chat. If Bridget cannot fulfil this then she may well know someone who can.

Also, our SPOTlights communities may, in due course, identify other members and peers you may wish to connect with for this purpose. 

Be you - be amazing!

Seriously, why so many photos of  flowers!?

Bridget is an experimental gardener. She has found there are flowers that are the first to take root and survive. There are others that require nurturing and careful monitoring otherwise they wilt. There are others, still, that with too much care will die. In all her interactions with people that she has supervised, mentored and coached these things remain consistent:

  • No one is like another - each has key strengths and skills and enquiries,
  • Everyone is beautiful and has a right to shine,
  • Valued clinicians with the right balance of support and autonomy will deliver above and beyond expectations,
  • Knowledge should be shared,
  • We are nothing without others in our journey as therapists.

When Bridget was growing up in South Africa travelling the dirt roads from home to school there was always an abundance of cosmos flowers. They were vibrant, able to grow in harsh conditions and thrived. They existed right next door to perfectly cultivated farmers' fields. We are like flowers. We can be hardy, sensitive or in-between - and together we bring hope and joy and professional and personal  life is a better place.
