Note: Currently working Tuesday evenings and Saturday’s. I’m Dettie, a white, non-binary queer and trans person living on the unceded land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. I’m a mental health accredited social worker, providing counselling for individuals, couples, and families. I have an invested interest in working with neurodivergent people, LGBTIQA+ people and their families, survivors of conversion & suppression practices, people who have used violence in relationships and people who experience complex and/or relational trauma. I work with people of all genders, sexualities, religions/faiths and cultures.
I’ve worked in community services over the past 10 years and am experienced working in mental health, family violence, homelessness, alcohol and other drugs, disability & supporting people leaving custody. I take a collaborative and transparent approach, and love to hear about what modalities and interventions you prefer (and those you do not like!).
In my practice I understand the oppressive systems that marginalised communities face everyday, I am constantly learning and growing in my practice and personal life to support individuals with therapy that is holistic and doesn’t ignore the environmental impacts of systemic oppression. Medicare mental health treatment plans welcome!
