Psycho-Social Support Worker
CurrentUtilising my background in Psychology, I worked one-on-one with clients from diverse backgrounds to assist them in navigating the trials and tribulations they experience, as a result of life-long trauma, disability and mental illness. I serve as a role model and advocate for some clients and as a therapist for others. The role is extremely fluid and constantly in motion, meaning adaptability and vigilance are paramount. My time as a support worker has been influential in honing skills I have developed throughout my life. Finding the reward in failure and striving again despite that has been a focal point. The broad range of clients I have worked with have backgrounds that include:- Schizophrenia- ADHD- Depression- Anxiety- Attachment Disorders- Functional Neurological Disorder - Seizures- Psychosis- Acquired Brain Injuries- Drug and Alcohol addiction- Self Harm/Suicidal Ideation- Victims of Trauma- Victims of Domestic Violence- Victims of Sexual Assault - Intellectual Disabilities - Physical Disabilities
