My approach creates a safe and supportive environment to: : Express emotions and develop healthy coping strategies : Navigate behavioural and social challenges : Address emotional distress, depression, anxiety, or suicidal ideation with care and sensitivity : Strengthen communication, resilience, and emotional well-being : Support emotional, behavioural, and social development : Support children and young people experiencing school can't/refusal : Provide support for individuals diagnosed with Autism or ADHD, or those showing behaviours or characteristics commonly associated with these neurodivergent profiles
I work in a way that is: : Solution-focused and strengths-based : Trauma-informed and culturally sensitive : Collaborative with families, carers, schools, and agencies : Grounded in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered approaches : Incorporates psychoeducation to empower participants and families
I am passionate about supporting people from all walks of life — including children, young people, families, and individuals living with disability. My experience also includes working with people in out-of-home care, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and those impacted by family breakdown, trauma, or emotional instability.
