Professional experience, personal understanding.

A grounded, relational approach

Cassandra is a PACFA-accredited clinical counsellor, clinical supervisor and author, with more than 20 years’ experience and extensive leadership experience across the community health, family violence and crisis-support sectors.

Her practice draws on lived experience and many thousands of clinical counselling hours supporting women of all ethnicities, cultures, faiths, sexualities and life experiences—including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, women from Muslim and Indian communities, neurodivergent and late-diagnosed women, and LGBTQIA+ women.

Cassandra has provided more than 1,000 hours of counselling support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. This experience informs a culturally responsive, trauma-informed approach that centres safety, voice, choice and self-determination.

Her approach brings evidence-informed therapy together with compassion, intuition and respect for each woman’s lived experience.

“Every woman needs to be heard, not judged; supported in her power, not disempowered.”
