Shana | Counsellor

“ Bonnie was highly professional and easy to communicate with. I found her approach to be supportive and enjoyed talking about a range of practice challenges including starting my own private work, experiences of vicarious trauma and the impact to my wellbeing. We also had discussions about the impact of workplace culture and systemic/structural racism. Bonnie was responsive to my needs and brought good energy and enthusiasm to our sessions. I really appreciated our time together and will use her services again”.

“I highly recommend Bonnie as a cultural supervisor. She provides a warm, welcoming and safe environment. It is the perfect space for learning and growth. Not only did I use the time to soak up her knowledge but also to connect and check in on both of our Hauora.

Emma | Registered Social Worker

“Bonnie has been my supervisor for a year and a half now and I always come out of our supervisions a lot lighter! Bonnie always makes me feel validated and heard with whatever I bring into external supervision. She helps me problem-solve the challenges I'm facing and comes at things with another perspective to always keep me thinking and challenging me to be better. Bonnie helps me reflect on my practice and also personally - looking at how far I've come in both aspects. She also helps me look forward to where I see myself going in my practice and also in life and looks at how I can make that possible. I am incredibly grateful for Bonnie and her continued support of me”

J. | Registered Social Worker

“Bonnie has been my supervisor for three years and I have found her so incredibly empowering, supportive and inspiring. She has a wonderful way of holding the space I need to safety debrief from the extremely stressful work I do within the family violence sector. She has a calmness about her that allows me to be able to regulate my feelings when I am debriefing about something that has triggered me. She offers me suggestions and allows me to be able to be able find my own solutions. Bonnie and I both share a love of learning, and she encourages me to reach for where I want to be.  She never puts me down for my sometimes-crazy ideas. Bonnie is at the moment supporting me through some workplace issues and I want to thank her for being there and supporting me”.

Maddi | Registered Social Worker

 “I engaged Bonnie for social work supervision, and felt comfortable with her right from our initial interactions over email. She was professional and personable, and easy to build rapport with. I found her very knowledgeable and she was able to bring wisdom and help me reflect on any situation or concern I threw at her. I have only ended the contract due to a change in work, but I would absolutely reengage if I need a supervisor in the future. Thank you, Bonnie!”
