Brunswick East, VIC 3057
The people I support often identify as LGBTIAQ+ and are also neurodivergent and/or have experienced various forms of trauma and family violence. I am also fiercely sex and sex-worker positive! My name is Jodie (they/she), I'm an experienced Alcohol & Other Drug (AOD) and Family Violence Counsellor, based in Melbourne and Ballarat on unceded Wurundjeri and Wadawurrung lands.
My specialist training is in safely processing trauma - I offer a warm and direct feminist, anti-oppressive and liberatory counselling space, with regular neurodivergent-affirming practice trainings. I can offer EMDR therapy, ACT & IFS/ego/parts work. Sessions take place on weekday evenings (zoom/in-person) or on Wednesdays (zoom).
Clients often tell me they know I am a trusted, warm and gentle practitioner who is a kind and direct communicator. What do you need in order to sit and be in this space with me today? Which inner parts would you like to develop or express, where would you like to go and what would you like to be doing? Let's work together to get you there.
