02 / PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY
More than
one role.
Australia-based psychotherapist offering online consultations, mental health clinician, author and organisational leader.
I began my first placements in charitable organisations in 2009. From 2013, I developed a professional practice in counselling, psychotherapy and psychosocial support. Today my mental health work is based in Queensland, Australia.
My background includes two master’s degrees, in forensic and penitentiary psychology and in a programme focused on personal and career counselling, and a bachelor’s degree in resocialisation and social prophylaxis. I am a PACFA Clinical Registrant. Alongside clinical work, I create projects and lead organisations in counselling and education.
