Personal support

I worked in alcohol and other drug (AOD) support, and suicide-prevention roles, before moving into Myotherapy. I currently work in peer-based group support for people transitioning from hospital to home, delivering Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills training. This is the reason my clinic availability is limited.

I spent many years in community services supporting people navigating dependence, recovery, and mental health challenges. I also bring lived-experience insight—having walked my own path through these systems and come out the other side with clarity, compassion, and practical understanding.

What I Can Offer

I’m qualified as a Community Support Worker. While I don’t diagnose, treat, or provide counselling, I offer something equally important:

• Skilled and safe listening, grounded in both formal training and lived experience.

• Support in navigating the service system, including help to identify services that align with your needs.

• A calm, supportive space to make sense of what’s happening in your life—whether you’re directly experiencing difficulties or supporting a partner or family member.

My role is to stand alongside you—not as a clinician, but as someone who understands the terrain and can help you feel heard, grounded, and empowered.
