Are you carrying grief or trauma that feels impossible to move through? Perhaps you're struggling with bereavement, the pain of a relationship ending or betrayal, or trauma memories and reactions that leave you feeling stuck in the past. Maybe you've been managing alone for a long time, or something recent has brought things to the surface. You deserve a space where your experiences are truly heard, and not rushed or minimised. I work with people navigating all kinds of grief and trauma, including PTSD and complex trauma, to help you make sense of your experiences and find a way forward through compassion focused support.
I'm Edie, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker. My approach is warm, collaborative, non-judgmental, honouring of your strengths, and free from pressure to be 'over it’. I draw on evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches tailored to your individual needs, because what helps most is different for everyone. Medicare rebates apply with a GP referral.
Whether you’re navigating recent loss or long held pain, taking the step to reach out can feel daunting, especially when you've been carrying things alone for a long time. I invite you to get in contact if you would like to arrange a session. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can explore whether we're a good fit. I'd love to hear from you.

Sessions are a space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and be truly heard. We might work through specific challenges you are having using therapeutic strategies, or explore and process your experiences, following what you need most. I also acknowledge the broader context and intersecting influences in your life, your culture, relationships, family, and the systems you interact with.
