Tua
Tua’s approach to supervision is underpinned by strength-based, narrative and collaborative frameworks of practice. Tua assumes that a supervisee is not an empty vessel devoid of life experiences, knowledge or wisdom. He views his role as the facilitator of learning and reflection. Regardless of what the practice issue is, Tua believes the solutions can be found in the supervisee’s own knowledge, experience and critical reflection.
