I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, Parent Infant Mental Health clinician and Family Report Writer with over 20 years experience working in the field. I work mostly with adults experiencing mental health issues and provide a safe space for people to work through their difficulties. My goal is to help people to understand themselves on a deeper level and have better functioning relationships and a happier life! I also write private reports for the Family Court (62G & Child Impact Reports) and can support and coach individuals going through this process.
I have significant experience working in both health & mental health settings, premature infants, IVF, adoption, parent infant mental health programs, child protection, family violence & within the family court as a court expert. My services include - individual & couples counselling, private reports for the Family Court & professional supervision.
Acknowledging that you need help is the hardest bit. All you have to do now is attend a session and we can tackle the rest together.
