Professional supervision
Review, reflection and replenishment for social work practitioners.
Professional supervision is a standard practice for social work practitioners in Australia throughout their careers. As defined by the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW), supervision ensures social workers continue to enhance their skills and competencies over time to bring about positive outcomes for the individuals they serve.
As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with the Australian Association of Social Workers, Edwina offers professional social work supervision in her private practice in Red Hill, Queensland and online.
Edwina has a reflective approach to professional supervision, providing a space in which practitioners can explore the issues important to them. She firmly believes caring for our self enables us to be present and compassionate to others, not just in our professional work but in all aspects of our life. Edwina is passionate about supporting people to make their work sustainable, enjoyable and meaningful, helping people to resource and skill themselves as necessary in order to serve the people they work with.

Edwina has been a qualified social worker for 10 years and is a registered member of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).
Specialising in trauma-informed practice, Edwina has worked in the community sector and private practice for 15 years in a range of service environments, including homelessness services, refugee services, health settings, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander services and women's services. She also has a Bachelor of Arts (Peace and Conflict Studies) with First Class Honours in International Relations.

Testimonials
“An amazing training experience…”
I would like to thank you for such an amazing training experience. You really made me feel welcome and the space you created felt safe and so accepting. I absolutely loved the whole experience and would love to expand on what I have learnt with the certificate course next September.

“So considerate and compassionate…”
Your training workshop really helped me to discover what invitational language is about and why relationship safety is key in this type of work. I was so impressed with your way of facilitating the workshop and how you very clearly and simply presented quite complex topics. Also, your caring manner – so considerate and compassionate – giving us the right amount of space to integrate, engage and have pauses in between. So, boundless gratitude, Edwina.
