I've been involved in the mental health sector for over ten years, working in healthcare and community services whilst completing my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. I've worked in a wide variety of settings, which gives me a breadth of understanding of different people and issues. I've provided social work and counselling in the context hospital psychiatric units, palliative care, disability services, community service, and more. Most of the clients I've worked with have identified as belonging to a marginalised community or have had disenfranchising experiences, such as LGBTIQA+ people, carers, ageing people, and those with complex trauma. I've delivered organisational training in the areas of clinical counselling skills and diversity and inclusion, and regularly provide clinical supervision to social workers, counsellors, and professionals in adjacent fields.
