My experiences are in statutory, community and health social work including service management of social services. There are many therapeutic interventions available to us, but not all are useful. The saying 'one size fits all' doesn't apply here. I can help people setting reasonable goals and support them achieving their goals. I am interested in these areas: Talking therapy; relationships; mental health applying Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing; stress and anxiety management;social work supervision; life coaching and Christian guidance & strength based approach.
I am a professional social worker with 13 years experience in NZ and now working in Melbourne, Australia. Don't worry I am offering video or phone sessions after 7pm NZ time. Te Whare Tapa Wha model aligns well with the outcomes I want to achieve with clients. I am here to help clients become the best people they can be without unnecessary pressure.
Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of bravery. Throughout our engagement, we will respect and be honest with each other. I am accepting online counselling and phone contact only at this time. If you want to connect, please follow instructions as per Psychology Today guidelines. I hope to hear from you soon.
