Professional Supervision for Dietitians
Let’s think through paediatric feeding together
Supporting Dietitians Working with Children
I provide individual professional supervision for dietitians who want to develop their paediatric skills, gain confidence with complex feeding cases, and engage in reflective practice that strengthens clinical decision-making.
Learning
Build knowledge and skills specific to paediatric feeding through case discussion and targeted education
Reflective Practice
Develop deeper clinical reasoning by examining your thinking, decisions, and approaches
Clarity & Confidence
Move from uncertainty to confident, evidence-informed practice in complex cases
What Supervision Includes
Case Discussion & Clinical Reasoning
Bring your challenging cases. We'll work through assessment findings, discuss differential considerations, explore intervention options, and consider options together. This is where clinical reasoning develops, through guided thinking about real situations.
Skill Development
Identify areas where you want to grow and we'll focus supervision there. This might include assessment skills, intervention planning, working with specific conditions, interdisciplinary collaboration, or parent communication strategies.
Reflective Practice
Reflect on what's working, what's challenging, and why. Explore your clinical decision-making process, examine assumptions, consider alternatives, and develop self-awareness that strengthens your practice.
Professional Support
Paediatric feeding work can be emotionally demanding. Supervision provides space to process difficult cases, address compassion fatigue, and maintain professional boundaries while staying compassionate.

My Supervision Approach
Effective supervision is collaborative. Here's how I work:
Non-Judgmental Space
Supervision is where you can be uncertain, make mistakes, and think out loud without fear of judgment. Questions are welcomed. Struggles are normalised. Growth happens in safety.
Guided Discovery
Rather than just giving answers, I help you develop your own clinical reasoning. We think through cases together, examining evidence, considering options, and building the thinking skills that transfer to new situations.
Practical & Evidence-Based
Supervision balances evidence with real-world practice. We discuss research and guidelines, but also practical strategies that work in clinical settings with real families.
Tailored to Your Needs
Your supervision goals, experience level, practice setting, and learning style shape our sessions. This is your professional development—we focus on what matters most to you.
Strengths-Based
We identify what you're already doing well and build from there. Confidence grows when you recognize your existing strengths alongside areas for development.
I look forward to working with you.
