Eastern & Southern Melbourne Areas (Including West Gippsland)

I provide a relational therapeutic approach of counselling & support to young people & families (where possible), with a focus for those who are at risk of being or who are homeless. Travelling to where people feel comfortable is my preferred way to offer support; I believe outreach work is the best way to create a safe therapeutic space for young people to explore personal issues and grow. I utilise Bush Adventure Therapy as a key component in supporting young people.I facilitate early intervention therapeutic group work (No Limits) for youth at risk in schools.I teach at Diploma level in Community Welfare and Youth Work and provide individual and group supervision for workers & students in the field. I am Director & Therapist of Youth and Family Therapy (YaFT).
