NDIS counselling
Individualised support aligned with your goals and needs.
I’m an Accredited Social Worker with a focus on mental health, psychosocial disability, and trauma-informed support.
I provide a calm, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and not judged.
My approach is practical and compassionate—I work alongside you to make sense of what you’re going through and help you move forward in a way that feels manageable.
If you’re exploring the NDIS, I can also guide you through the process, helping you understand what’s required and supporting you every step of the way.
