*de prevention phone service. I have a Bachelor and Diploma of Counselling and am a level 4 accredited Counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association. I am an accredited facilitator with Tuning into Kids and Caring Dads programs and am currently working with NDIS clients experiencing psychosocial disability. I prefer to outreach and meet the client on their own turf where they are most comfortable to aid the therapeutic relationship and assist me assessing client needs and wants. I enjoy wotking with teenagers (whist I am still in the age bracket to connect with them) however I am happy to meet anyone. The modalities I utilise are;

Brief Therapy
I match interventions to client needs and aim to support clients to find positive movement and to achieve set goals. I aim to empower, build capacity and increase agency through building a strong relationship, modelling behaviour, being coinsistent and meeting the client on their level. I am currently taking private clients so if you would any further information please contact me to see if we are a match.
