I am a Mental Health Social Worker/Therapist (Medicare available), practicing in Bendigo & Online. I specialise in supporting women, young adults and Neurodivergent clients. I help those seeking affirming or positive counselling for ADHD & Autism, Trauma, Family Violence and Mental Health. I work with the complexity of issues presenting across these areas and support people to understand and develop effective coping strategies for associated trauma and other mental health challenges. I am passionate about working with clients who have felt excluded from therapy or have struggled to feel 'seen and heard' in their lives.
Therapy will involve a range of evidence based approaches (including EMDR) and will also include a 'clinical social work' approach which considers the bigger picture of your Mental Health challenges. Child & Adolescent Abuse/Trauma, Grief & Loss of Identity, Family & Relationship conflict, Family Violence, Discrimination, Social exclusion and Isolation.
Golden Point Counselling is NOT a 'one size fits all' approach. I am most passionate about working with your experience of 'difference.' In what ways has your unique experience shaped the way you feel, think and live in the world? How would you prefer to feel if therapy works? How do your current strengths and goals support your growth? Let's work on it all.
