Onward and Upward Therapeutic Counselling currently offers outreach (home visits), online and phone services only. Onward and Upward - ‘towards a better condition.’ The power of the relationship you have with yourself and with others is underestimated. All relationships are complex and have their ups and downs. I’m here for when the ‘downs’ are overtaking the ’ups’ and negatively impact on you and/or your families well-being. If you are ready and willing to do the work, I am ready to work with you. I have had 17 years’ experience as a social worker, employed in various roles, across Federal Government, State Government and Non-Government Agencies in South Australia and Northern Territory. I have worked with families, teenagers, children, and adults in both Therapeutic, Senior Practitioner and Group Facilitator roles. In 2020 I qualified in Family Therapy and Systemic Practice and have applied these skills and knowledge to my practice since. I have observed quicker and more successful outcomes with both individuals, couples, and families, in relation to overcoming presenting problems which made them initially seek therapy. I take pride in offering an honest, empathetic, transparent, and non-judgmental service. I believe in the importance of taking care of your mental health and taking care of your relationship with your self and with others. It is often a little daunting finding the right therapist and google can be a minefield. If you think I might be able to help you, please call or email me now for a free 20min consultation, oanducounselling@gmail.com or 0480 344 847, or via face book messenger. I am a qualified social worker and completed a Graduate Diploma in Family Therapy and Systemic Practice. I maintain professional knowledge and skills and access professional supervision. You do not need a referral or MHCP to access my services. Finances:
