Rhiannon (they/them) is a social worker and counsellor who understands the power of being truly seen and heard.

Rhiannon brings a deeply personal understanding to their work as a chronically ill, queer, late-diagnosed neurodivergent person — and someone who has walked their own path of healing after relationship abuse. This lived experience sits alongside their Masters of Social Work, undergraduate studies in politics and gender studies, and professional training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, somatics, parts work, Intentional Peer Support and Written Exposure Therapy.

Rhiannon’s practice is grounded in a trauma-informed, justice-oriented and open worldview. They meet each client with curiosity rather than judgement, and hold space for the fullness of your experience – cultural, social, and everything in between. Their approach is relational, compassionate, and built on the belief that when your inner world makes sense to you, the outer world feels less overwhelming.

Above all, Rhiannon believes in meeting you exactly where you are, without expectation of where you "should" be.

Rhiannon is a settler on Djarra Country, with English and German ancestry. They work with clients across all of so-called Australia.
