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 from diverse backgrounds, including more than 1,000 hours supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. This experience informs a culturally responsive, trauma-informed approach that centres safety, voice, choice and self-determination.

Cassandra brings professional and lived understanding of neurodivergence and late diagnosis, alongside extensive experience supporting women from Muslim and Indian backgrounds and LGBTQIA+ women.

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.”
