In my work as a supervisor, I draw from a postmodern and social constructionist framework. This means I don’t position myself as the expert who holds all the answers. Instead, I see supervision as a collaborative, relational space — one where meaning is co-created through dialogue, reflection, and mutual curiosity.

Rather than offering fixed truths or prescriptive advice, I invite supervisees into a process where knowledge is explored, questioned, and shaped together.

As Jordan (2016) puts it, “Knowledge is not only shared in interaction, but also created in interaction.”  This resonates deeply with my approach: supervision is not a one-way transmission, but a dynamic exchange where both of us are learners.

I believe that growth happens not just through insight, but through the ongoing construction of meaning over time. In this space, change can emerge — whether in behaviour, thinking patterns, or professional identity.

As Jordan also notes, “Meaning is always new and a product of social interaction over time.” That’s why I see supervision as an evolving conversation, never fully complete, always open to new interpretations.

My role is to hold space — a space that is safe, reflective, and generative. A space where you can pause, explore, and grow — not just as a professional, but as a whole person.

Knowing how little you know is not about denying what you do know and what your skills are; rather it’s about being able to manage the embarrassment and shame that may come with recognising our limitations and realising we cannot be what the supervisee or the organisation needs us to be. 

Wounded healers indeed, we recognise that we are good enough. (Carroll, 2014, p. 65)
