Altramas - its' roots and the connection with supervision
Honouring the Legacy of Fosterage
By choosing the name Altramas, I honour the Gaelic tradition of fosterage and its enduring relevance in today's social care and therapeutic practices. It reminds me that supervision and consultancy are not just professional services—they are acts of care and commitment to the growth and well-being of individuals, teams, and communities.
Fosterage as a Framework for Supervision
In fostering relationships, there is an implicit understanding of:
Trust:Building strong bonds through respect, honesty, and consistency.
Growth:Encouraging individuals to reach their full potential, supported by guidance and care.
Community:Recognising that progress is best achieved through collaborative and connected efforts.
These principles guide my approach to supervision, where I aim to create a supportive environment for professionals in allied health and social care to reflect, learn, and develop their practice.
A Safe Space for Reflection and Growth
I strive to provide a confidential and supportive space where professionals can:
Reflect on their practice without fear of judgment.
Explore challenges and identify solutions with expert guidance.
Develop new skills and approaches that enhance practice.
My role is to empower individuals, fostering resilience and professional excellence through tailored, reflective supervision.
Guidance for Organisations
By offering tailored guidance and strategic insights, I help social care and therapeutic organisations create cultures of care that align with their values and goals. I believe that organisations thrive when their people are nurtured and supported, and I bring this belief to every consultation I offer.
