Recovery-Based Support Services

My name is Chloe and I am a Therapeutic Counsellor and Social Worker (registered with the Australian Association of Social Workers). I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Behavioural Science and a Master’s Degree in Social Work. I have 10 years of experience working in the Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) sectors for not-for-profit organisations and have worked collaboratively with consumers, their families and other service providers throughout this time to help improve consumers wellbeing and overall qualities of life. I am skilled in working with complex mental health, addiction, comorbidity, withdrawal management, youth, and the offender population.

I am passionate about holistic mental health care that incorporates all aspects of an individual’s life (i.e., family history, beliefs and values, trauma, relationships, social connections, employment, education, support network, etc.) as I believe that we are all products of our environments. My approach is centred around providing holistic mental health care that meets your biopsychosocial needs and acknowledges you as the expert in your own life. In my therapeutic practice, I specialise in anxiety and depression management, psychosocial disabilities, substance misuse, and addiction with people aged 16 years and over.

My goal is to provide individuals with a safe and supportive healthcare environment where they feel seen, valued and heard, so that they can comfortably explore the barriers that are impacting their lives and feel supported to make the changes that they need to improve their quality of life. I utilise various evidence-based approaches, interventions and psychological therapies in my practice to do this, including motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, trauma informed care, recovery-oriented approaches, strengths and empowerment-based approaches, task and solution focused therapies, mindfulness-based therapies, cognitive behaviour therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.
