I am a competent social worker with experience in mental health and addiction recovery, where I have applied comprehensive intake and risk assessments, safety planning, treatment planning and ongoing counselling and case management. My therapeutic repertoire includes motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, and modalities such as CBT, ACT and DBT in individual and group settings.I take a trauma-informed care and strengths-based approach to my work, underpinned by a non-judgmental, relationship-based, and client-led ethos. My professional journey is marked by self-motivation, effective advocacy and collaboration, reflexivity, adaptability and a commitment to lifelong learning.
