My Support Work

​

I am a caring, hard-working member of the community with a deep passion for helping others and creating positive change for individuals and their families. My experience spans mental health support, community advocacy, and program development, and I am dedicated to supporting people in ways that empower them and enhance their well-being.

In my spare time, I am actively involved in suicide prevention initiatives, working closely with local charities and grassroots organisations. Through my professional work, volunteer efforts, and lived experience, I have gained extensive experience supporting individuals with complex mental illnesses, Autism, ADHD, and physical limitations.

I take a personalised and compassionate approach, working at a pace that suits my clients' needs, with a focus on their everyday challenges, short-term needs, and long-term goals. My aim is to support social and economic independence, helping individuals feel more connected and capable in their daily lives.

Why This Work Matters

I believe that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. Too many people struggle in silence, unaware of the resources available to them or feeling hesitant to reach out. Through my work, I strive to bridge the gap between individuals and the support they need, creating stronger, more connected communities.

Please reach out if you or someone you care for is in need of support in and around the Macedon Ranges, Victoria.
