This is the Cosmosis® Professional Supervision Team

Our professional supervision team fulfill a dual role:

• Providing a framework of professional supervision, oversight and support for all of our mentors and their work;
• Making available supplementary psychotherapeutic and holistic health support for our mentees.

Effecting long-term change in a person requires a combination of training, healing, coaching, mentoring and counselling. Depending on where one is in the transformation and reorientation process, we find that at key times everyone being mentored, trained and coached by us requires the extra support of other modalities, such as psychotherapy, counselling, healing, and holistic medicine.

Beyond a team of fully qualified Mentors and Coaches, we have the following professionals on staff to help you with any such need. They are all well-versed in the transformational process undergone by ones on the path, and any CMC mentee can work with them as required.

The supervision team also bring their professional expertise to overseeing, supporting and guiding our team of qualified Mentors. This ensures that the quality of mentoring services provided to all of our students meets the highest standards of duty of care, and the benchmarks expected of a professional and ethical organisation. The supervision team also ensures that mentors working as part of the Cosmosis® Mentoring Centre are regularly supported in their practice, and continue their professional development.
