Hi there,
I’m here to walk alongside you.
As a Therapeutic Social Worker (AASW), I will work from an understanding that considers all the parts that make you, you. We will work pragmatically and systemically consider together, from what your strengths are, as well as build towards a practical and pragmatic framework, which considers a systems-lens; the systems surround you and examine the impact on whether/how you might be best supported to feel safe and authentically.
Professionally, I have experience working in community outreach, those navigating the mental health and NDIS systems, as well as supporting future practitioners as university social work educator. I also have 7+ years as a working professional in large-scale systems i.e. corporate, Government, etc.
I ultimately offer a space where your experience is valid and will reflect with you, in reorienting you to what authentic balance, means for you.
Where we might be a good fit:
-
People either newly diagnosed and/or wanting to explore Neurodivergence.
-
People who've had big things happen to them in life (sometimes considered trauma - emotional wounding)
-
Complex workplace issues
-
People of colour
-
High-performing (overburdened) women
-
Men looking to connect more deeply with themselves and others
-
LGBTQIA+ people
-
Victim-Survivors of Family Domestic and/or Intimate Partner Violence
Approach:
-
Compassionate, warm and grounding.
-
A blended approach with the body and mind e.g. talk therapy (CBT) and/or psychosomatic therapies (DBT, IFS).
-
Biopsychosocial lens; biological systems, psychological experiences and social spheres of importance to you.
-
Systems-lens: an understanding of complex systems such as workplaces, the NDIS, community and hospital recovery, and city and regional settings.
Experience:
My background is in EAP & Redundancy Support, Neurodivergence / Neuro-affirming Support, Community Mental Health Care (Community Outreach and in Hospitals), Disability and in Metro & Regional areas.
I have over 15+ years working in the government and non-government and private sectors in both therapeutic and policy-based practice.
As a human:
I'm originally from Wangal Land (North Strathfield, NSW). I now live and play on the lands of the Stoney Creek Nation (near Launceston, TAS).
In balancing my passion in connecting with others, I value time in nature (i.e. hiking, trail running and swimming), reading and having meaningful conversations with family and friends, supporting my own sense of balance and equanimity.
I look forward to connecting and walking alongside you, in finding your balance.
With warmth and kindness,
Bec
