Counsellor/Therapist, Clinical Supervisor, Master of Counselling
Domestic Abuse and Violence is concerning for all. Both the victim and the perpetrator. Learning to overcome the issues is so important. Domestic Violence is not acceptable.
To find yourself in a domestic abuse situation can be extremely complex and brings with it a range of conflicting emotions ranging from sadness and grief to fear, isolation, heartache, and love. I provide a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space for you to feel free to explore these complexities whilst supporting you to connect with who you are so you can navigate your life from an empowered place.
Trauma affects not only our psyches but our relationships with others. I aim to help you get back to your own, authentic life after experiencing domestic abuse or violence.
I have worked with young people & their families who have been involved in or have survived domestic violence situations. My trauma informed practice, person centered & strengths based approach allows me to support people in these situations either whilst they are ongoing or once they have moved away from a perpetrator's circle of influence.
Family violence has a devastating impact on many from their early years. We work with the individuals and families to minimise their risk of violence, addressing issues such as communication and values sharing, along with links to other community supports. We are experienced in assessing domestic abuse situations to work on problem-solving approaches that effect long term change while respecting the needs of all involved.
