Dear reader, thank you for taking time out to read through my profile.
Currently,I am employed as a Team Leader and Senior Mental Health Clinician in the Northern parts of Melbourne. I am working for a non-government organisation covering two sites. I have been working in social work since 2010.
I work with clients with different race and age groups in Australia. Primarily I offer mental health counselling to support peoples mental health and secondly I team leading a NDIS support group. Most clients present with depression, anxiety and stress. I am seeing good outcomes and clients testified how therapy improved their lives.
Prior to moving to Australia in 2023, I worked in different social work and supervisory roles in New Zealand. I worked as a Care and Protection, Community and health. Supervisory roles include Practice Mentor and Practice Manager and Social Services Manager.
My aim is to support all Australians who need counselling support to get mentally well. Take care!
