thoughtful pastoral
supervision & counselling

Thoughtful is a pastoral supervision service for people in ministry, pastoral care, and other caring work. Our practice is centred around intentional conversation, creating a collaborative place for reflection and growth.

“You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.”

Isaiah 58:11

A favourite line is ‘Supervision interrupts practice’. Regular supervision disciplines us to pause and reflect on what, why and how we practice… as well as how we, as individuals, fit into this work. Pastoral supervision with Thoughtful means….

  • Being thoughtful about who you are; your call, passion & hopes
  • Being thoughtful about the care and compassion that flows from you to those in your care
  • Being thoughtful about how we use the time together, so you feel heard & restored
  • Being thoughtful about your professionalism, boundaries, safe practices and self-care
  • Being thoughtful about the integration of your faith and practice.
