"We believe supervision is not fixed; it emerges from who we are, shaped by our values, knowledge, and ways of working in relationship with others."
PULSE Supervision is built on social constructionist, systemic, and collaborative principles. It frames supervision as a relational space where supervisor and supervisee explore practice together, making sense of experiences side by side. The supervisor is not an expert giving answers, but a curious companion — exploring assumptions, language, and context alongside you.
Why PULSE
A different approach to supervision
Like a heartbeat, supervision has a rhythm - steady, yet responsive to what is happening within and around us. PULSE Supervision is an invitation to explore supervision as a dynamic practice rather than a rigid method.
If you’re already supervising, this is a space to reconnect with what drew you to the work, examine the your current process, and enliven your approach. If you’re preparing to become a supervisor, this is your foundation - a place to explore what kind of supervisor you want to be, grounded in what you already know from your own ways of working.
What we're offering is not training in the traditional sense. We bring expertise in the supervision process, but much of the learning will come not from us, but from each other.

The PULSE model
Five principles that guide the work
Our values
What we stand for
Realness
Realness is about being transparent, critically reflective by pausing to consider what we do and why, and intentional in how we show up.
Curiosity
Curiosity is grounded in relational reflexivity, the practice of noticing what is happening between us.
Collaboration
Collaboration is working in partnership to make sense of things together.
Respect
Respect is showing kindness, openness to different perspectives, and noticing the impact our actions have on others.
Creativity
Creativity is about being open to new ways of doing things and gently questioning the status quo.
