About
I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) offering Medicare-supported Focussed Psychological Strategies. I’ve spent more than 20 years working in mental healthcare, and I genuinely love supporting people as they create the changes that matter to them. I like to keep things light where I can, share a laugh, and meet people exactly where they are.
