How Reflective Practice Supports Your Workforce
Reflective practice is a structured process of examining professional experiences to understand what happened, how you responded & what you can learn.
Through guided discussion, participants explore challenging interactions, complex decisions, professional boundaries & the emotional impact of their work.
Rather than moving straight to solutions, we help them recognise patterns, question assumptions & consider different perspectives.

Supervisor
Dr Lauren Hanegraaf (she/her)
I aim to help supervisees look beyond presenting symptoms to consider the relationships, family experiences & wider systems influencing a client’s difficulties.
Sessions are guided by the supervisee's agenda & can explore formulation, therapeutic options, the relationship between supervisee & client, & the supervisee’s own responses to the work.

I am passionate about supporting supervisees preparing for or returning from parental leave. This can include changing priorities & communicating with clients about leave & returning to practice.
