Rachel Hawthorne
After more than 25 years working in a range of roles across the education and youth sectors, I now spend the bulk of my time supporting professionals across the motu through offering Supervision, Facilitation, and Career Transition services. I have extensive experience and training in the areas of leadership; building collaborative relationships across organisations and within teams; not-for-profit governance; facilitation; and youth-based research. I am also a funeral celebrant and offer home funeral support services within my community.
I offer strengths-based external supervision to a range of professionals navigating the demands of working in educational leadership, teaching, and pastoral care contexts; those involved in not-for-profit management and governance roles, and those in social work, community & youth work. I am a great advocate for the benefits of external, cross-discipline supervision and am open to working with a diversity of clients from a range of professions.
I aim to be an attentive, creative, appreciative, and responsive supervisor, and absolutely enjoy the process of collaborating together with the purpose of assisting you to reflect, learn and grow as a practitioner, whatever your profession or working context.
I am an approved mentor for The Teaching Council NZ and a member of the ACSA (Australian Clinical Supervision Association)
