“I have accessed Clinical Supervision through Esther Vallance over 3 years and two employment positions. My roles included service development and staff management working in unique team environments. Through Clinical Supervision I grew both professionally and personally while working with Esther. I have confidence now in my own decision making and believe in my abilities to practice as a Nurse in varying roles. Clinical Supervision enabled me to recognise and accept my strengths, as many Nurses are very good at knowing their weaknesses, and building on both of these to enhance my ability to be a successful, confident and competent leader in my workplace. I have gained tools to use in various situations when dealing with colleagues and clients, and gained insight into the way I work and my personality traits that are now assets to my current work situation and personal life.”
