ABOUT VICKI
I am an experienced Social Worker with 12 years’ experience working within the human services sector and am registered with the Australian Association of Social Workers.
I practice empathy, compassion and understanding, recognising the individual in the centre of each interaction. I work collaboratively alongside people, with a focus on developing connection and rapport in order to create a trusting therapeutic relationship.
Applying a holistic approach to my work, I conduct therapeutic assessments from a biopsychosocial and person-centred lens. My work is strengths-based and grounded in principles of capacity building and empowerment. I believe that all people are experts in their own lives, and have the capacity to learn and grow as they desire, when equipped with the right tools.
