Supervision, Social Work, Psychological Therapy

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and the Founder of Value Wellness. I established Value Wellness in 2016 with a clear purpose: to create a safe, respectful, and empowering space where people feel genuinely heard, supported, and valued as they work toward improved wellbeing and a meaningful life.

My career in the community and mental health sector began in 2006. Since then, I have had the privilege of working alongside individuals, families, carers, and professionals navigating complex systems, life challenges, and significant transitions.

My experience spans mental health, disability, community services, health, and private practice. Each role has strengthened my commitment to person-centred, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approaches to care.

At the heart of my work is a strong belief in people’s capacity for growth, healing, and change.

My integrative approach draws on evidence-based social work assessment and intervention, alongside psychological therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I support individuals experiencing anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, as well as a range of mental health concerns and psychosocial stressors.

In addition to direct client work, I provide clinical and professional supervision to social workers, students, and human services professionals, including support workers. I am deeply committed to supporting practitioners to develop ethically, reflectively, and with confidence in their work.

Outside of my professional life, I value creativity, craft, time in nature, music, travel, and meaningful connection with family and friends. I also share my days with my much-loved dog, Roger, who reminds me of the importance of presence and the simple moments that ground us.  I invest a lot of time into self-care to help me stay strong while helping people.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. If you’re ready to take the next step, I would be honoured to support you.
