Values and principles

 

“I strive to be compassionate, accepting, inclusive and non-judgemental in my approach.

​

As a social worker I strongly believe in upholding the values of social justice, empowerment and respect for every person.

​

I believe in enhancing community/social connection that is shown to be an important part of our mental health and well-being.

​

I continue to be intrigued by the uniqueness of each individual and what they bring to the counselling room – their story, knowledge, experiences and personality!

​

I believe in helping people to fulfill their potential and I enjoy the rewards of seeing positive change in people’s lives.

​

I look forward to working with you and together finding ways to work towards achieving the life you want to live.”
