Our Better Pride Practitioners
At Better Pride, our staff are qualified professionals with diverse backgrounds and connections to the LGBTQI+ community. They are here to listen to you and, with their vast expertise, offer you the support and care that you need.
I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with extensive experience supporting diverse clients throughout my career, including more than 10 years with Better Place Australia.
Having grown up with close friends and family in the LGBTIQ+ community and working alongside community members for many years, I bring deep respect and understanding to my practice.
I strive to offer a safe, secure space where people can arrive as they are and work from where they feel most comfortable.
I am a nationally accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner with significant experience assisting families through complex and sensitive circumstances, including family violence, mental health concerns, and child safety issues.
As a proud queer practitioner, my practice is grounded in a deep understanding and empathy for the unique experiences, strengths and challenges faced by LGBTIQ+ parents and family systems.
I approach every case with care and professionalism, helping families move toward clarity, safety, and resolution through a respectful and hopeful process.
I am a child counsellor in the Supporting Children After Separation Program, working with children and families to understand and navigate their unique experiences.
I see the LGBTIQ+ community as one that champions curiosity, openness, inclusion, and joy, and these values shape my work every day.
My approach centres on creating a safe, supportive space where children and families feel understood, and I remain committed to ongoing learning in this ever‑evolving area.

As a proud ally of the LGBTIQ+ community, I draw on my lived experiences and commitment to acceptance to ensure every client feels safe, respected, and supported.
My practice is grounded in authentic, non‑judgemental, evidence‑based therapy designed to meet people exactly where they are.
I am a counsellor specialising in children and adolescents, with a strong focus on strengths‑based identity development as part of the therapeutic process.
As an LGBTQIA+ ally and a member of an LGBTIQ+ family, I bring both personal insight and professional experience to my work.
