Hardworking and passionate practitioner with experience working in person-centred roles and a strong focus on maintaining the safety and wellbeing of my clients and the community. Through ongoing assessment, psychoeducation and intervention I have been able to assist clients in addressing concerns and meeting their goals. I have the ability to function efficiently and exercise judgement in high-stress environments in line with departmental policies and best practice. I hope that I can use my current skillset to further develop as a practitioner and support my community.
