About Andrea
With over 20+ years of experience in working with individuals and families, I bring a depth of understanding to working with individuals and families through life’s transitions, grief, relational challenges, and emotional overwhelm. As a registered member of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW), my practice is grounded in professional standards, ongoing development, and ethical care.
My work is shaped by both formal training and years of practice, offering a thoughtful and steady presence you can feel confident in, while honouring that you are the expert in your own life.
I have particular interest in the following:
~ developmental trauma
~ attachment & relationships
~ parenting support
~ grief & loss
~ wellbeing & emotional health
~ life transitions
~ foster & kinship care
