B.Ed Special Needs UNISA
Diploma of Counselling AIPC
Hi, my name is Jo.
Based on the Gold Coast, I provide face to face
and online counselling specialising in supporting
young people and adults with neurodiversity/
special needs and parents of young people with neurodiversity/special needs.
I also provide generalist counselling services for
parenting support, anxiety, depression, self-esteem,
emotion regulation and grief / loss.
As a special education teacher, I came to
appreciate how valuable practical and emotional
support beyond the limits of a classroom setting
could be. What was available was often inaccessible,
diagnosis and problem focused.
As a qualified counsellor, registered with the ACA,
my advanced study majors were in child development and effective parenting, working with children and young people, mindfulness and expressive therapies. I have also done professional development in suicide prevention and trauma informed care.
