What was your brief to Alison?

I was working with a difficult, resistant, gamey client, and doing the type of work where I’m not most confident. Alison helped me plan and prepare for the sessions so that I was confident of myself, my skills and my process as I went into the sessions.

What outcomes were you hoping for?

I hoped to be able to better hold the environment and emotion that was created in the work, to hold my ability to reflect in the moment and to challenge effectively what I was seeing and experiencing.

How did you benefit from your time with Alison?

I felt supported and not alone. I was clear about my purpose and contract with the group each time I met with them. And I survived the work! My confidence and self-belief improved. I got clearer about what is important to me in my work and learned to appreciate the support and challenge of a supervisor.

What special qualities do you think Alison brings to her work?

Ali brings a sense of strength which creates clear boundaries and makes me feel safe. She uses humour to great effect, both to soften and to challenge. She doesn't miss anything and is tenacious at bringing you back to the issue! I love the way she uses her own experience to inform and highlight options. Her ability to see patterns and hold the context was fantastic given we worked over an extended period of time.
