Clare Bennett

Psychologist

Supervisor / Coach

Overview

Clare has a passion for helping others and sees her role as an enabler, placing the person at the centre. Clare will work together to understand your needs, navigate challenges, and identify a way forward. “Life is busy these days and every so often we get chucked a curve ball. Sometimes it’s just good to just have a safe to bounce things around”. Clare’s focus will be your goals, adding some tools to your toolkit and identify a workable plan to help you feel empowered, well, and confident moving forward.

Clare particularly enjoys her role as a trainer and coach in managing stress, building resilience and maintaining holistic health. Through her years of working with others, and understanding her own journey as well, Clare really appreciates the importance of a holistic approach to health that spans our body, mind, community and support, and spirit (tinana, hinengaro, whānau and wairua).

Supervision Approach

Clare has been a supervisor for psychologists for several years. Clare also held several managerial roles in local and sector government organisations where an important part of her role has been as a mentor and coach for team members and other managers. Clare appreciate the complexities of working in both large and not so large organisations, and in both back office and front facing roles.

Skills and Experience

Clare is a Registered Psychologist (General Scope) with additional training in therapeutic techniques (CBT, FACT, EMDR and Psychodrama), trauma response, supervision and coaching. As well as being an experienced people coach, supervisor and therapist/counsellor, Clare also has leadership and management experience across a range of specialist functions (including military psychology, mental health, wellbeing, organisational development, leadership and workplace culture). Supervision Approach
