Kia ora, my name is Dalice Pinnell and I am a fully registered Social Worker. I have been a Social Worker for over ten years and Sūp4theSoul has been offering services for over six years now. I have a portfolio of over sixty professionals throughout New Zealand/across the motu.
Currently based in Otautahi Christchurch, one street back from the beach, I have worked hard to achieve a home office space (and online presence) that is calm and inviting. More often than not there are sea breezes, sounds and sunshine to bathe in to help support our nervous system during session.
Working with people often brings complex challenges. To mitigate this, I intentionally focus on my holistic health and I encourage this in the services I provide. I believe when we look at this bigger picture of true self care, we bring more authenticity, clearer intention, and calm to ourselves and those we walk alongside.
My practice and services are aligned with the values and models below. I have found they guide me well, are easy to recall and provide a simple, yet robust framework.
Being of Maori heritage and embracing a Te Ao Maori lens particularly in later years, alongside my Pakeha upbringing means my tupuna and ancestors are always at my side guiding me gently, providing me with knowledge and different perspectives.
“Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work, but to be in amongst those things and still remain calm in your heart”.
This way, we can provide the best care for those we serve.
My Vision
To create a safe haven for social workers and allied professionals to feel supported.
My Mission
To provide a safe environment that nurtures conversation and individuals growth as professionals who are intentional and authentic in their practice.

Courage

Authenticity
To support mana. To be true to my personal and professional values, my passion, vision and spirit/wairua. To be honest, transparent and to ensure values, ideals, and actions align.

To support others to aspire to be the best they can be through education, ethics and professionalism.

About Sūp4theSoul
Sūp4theSoul™ was created by Dalice in 2019. Dalice moved from a corporate background into exploring social work in 2012. After completing her studies, she developed a service in a large multi-disciplinary medical centre, inspired by the increase in successful outcomes by incorporating a biopsychosocial approach.
Dalice has surrounded herself in a tribe of mentors knowing the importance of wraparound support. She deeply values their support, skills, knowledge and points of view. Fellow social worker and supervisor, Abby McCormack is part of this tribe. Both collaborate regularly and have shared many discussions and some mutual clients over the years. Both share similar views, values, styles and ethics in their practice and the services they provide.
Abby and Dalice provide bespoke workshops, support eachother’s kaupapa and mahi as two individual, independent social workers and supervisors in their own private practices. If you’d like to see what Abby offers, email her at:
Dalice draws on her educational knowledge, professional experience, life journey and continued professional development to support professionals.
Evidence shows that professionals have a high rate of burnout in today’s busy world. Dalice has navigated her own personal burnout journey and uses this lived experience to support others to nurture sound self-care practice and mitigate risk.
