Practitioner Mentoring
Supervisory support for Root Cause Practitioners & group facilitators holding deep transformational space for others
Practitioner Mentoring offers you:
A professional, confidential space to:
debrief and integrate your current client work or group work.
Receive unbiased feedback and guidance on challenging situations & dynamics
Explore your own triggers, edges and blind spots as they surface in your work
Build confidence and self-trust in your work
Ensure safe, effective care of your clients and groups
Build confidence and discernment in holding transformational space
Process what you've absorbed, so it doesn't become yours to hold
Stay resourced and connected to why you’re doing this work
This is for you if you’re ready for:
regular, professional support for the depth of work you're doing
to feel more grounded, confident and clear in your work
to learn from the work itself rather than doing another training to feel like you’re finally enough
to invest in your ongoing development as a practitioner
Each session is tailored to what you need, whether debriefing a specific situation, deepening your practice, or simply having space to talk things through with someone who understands the nuance of what you're holding.
Why Practitioner Mentoring Matters
Because these times are asking more of us: Supporting others through collective uncertainty and rapid change requires practitioners and facilitators who are grounded, embodied, adaptive and well supported. It’s harder to do this work over the longer time effectively if you're carrying it all alone, and feeling unsupported yourself.
We all have blind spots: When you're holding space for someone's pain or navigating a challenging relational or energetic dynamic, it can be hard to see yourself clearly; we can lose perspective. Practitioner Mentoring helps you see what you can't see alone.
For client and group safety: Without regular reflection, it's easy to slip into an unhealthy dynamics, bad habits, or make decisions based on unprocessed assumptions rather than what's actually needed. Practitioner Mentoring is preventative.
For your sustainability: Holding space without your own support can lead to compassion fatigue and burnout. When you're working for too long in isolation, decisions can start to feel heavy. Having a safe place to debrief ensures your self-care needs are met.
For professional development: Training teaches you a modality, whereas supervision teaches you to be a more effective practitioner / group facilitator. The nuanced skills of discernment, boundaries, trusting the process and attunement are ongoing. Also transformational work will bring you face to face with your own growth edges. Meeting these helps to cultivate deeper courage, increase skill and self-trust.
It’s embodied: We'll track not just what happened in your sessions, but what you're noticing in your body as you describe it - because your somatic experience holds information your mind might miss. This practice cultivates trust in your embodied knowing, which deepens the transformational and healing nature of your work.
Hi, I'm Laurelle. With over 18 years of combined experience in counselling, mentoring, group facilitation, women’s circle work, Root Cause Practice and Supervision, I've been providing supervision for practitioners for over 7 years - including 5 years supervising groups and mentors in a not-for-profit and 2+ years supervising Root Cause Practitioners in depth in their 1:1 client and group work.
I understand the unique challenges of holding transformational space: the relational and energetic complexity, the responsibility, the ethical grey areas, and the isolation that can arise without ongoing support. I work with my whole body's wisdom, not just my mind and theoretical understanding. I support practitioners and facilitators to build safe, grounded connections with those they serve, navigate what surfaces in the work and prioritise their own wellbeing within the helping journey.
