About

I am a confident, creative 32 year old woman who has almost complete a Certificate IV in Mental Health. I currently work in Mental Health and Psychosocial Support. This involves case management and care planning around things such as social activities and building connections, community engagement, emotional support, recovery coaching, crisis intervention and safety planning, strengths-building, assisting clients to achieve their therapeutic goals and improving the overall wellbeing of the client. I am also on placement as a Lifeline Crisis Text Support Worker. My background is in marketing, communications and event management, but with over 17 years of mental health experience, I have decided my personal understanding and perspective of complex mental health issues and the recovery journey could make a genuine difference to some people's lives. I have certificates in both Working with Clients with Complex Trauma and Working with Psychosis and Trauma, provided by the Blue Knot Foundation, and a certificate in Recognise and respond appropriately to family and domestic violence. I have experience working with children and young people and have a current and valid Working With Children's Check.^& ^&I will teach someone with anxiety to practice the art of kintsugi. You have to sit with a lot of stillness and thus a lot of feelings and anxiety during kintsugi. When a piece of pottery is broken, it does not become ugly or something to be discarded. Instead, kintsugi sees that it is repaired with a golden lacquer. Once put back together the broken shards are highlighted by the gold, but this does not make them repulsive. This makes them beautiful. Embrace your flaws.^&
