About Nora

MEITU_20260112_190606107.jpg

My name is Nora (she/her). I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a counselling background and over a decade of experience across mental health, alcohol and other drug services, suicide postvention, forensic and residential settings, and student counselling. I have been based in Canberra since 2019.

 

How I can help
I work with adults seeking support with:
• Alcohol and other drug use
• Anxiety and stress
• Low mood and depression
• Grief and loss
• Life transitions and adjustment
• Relationships and interpersonal challenges
• Identity, belonging, and self-understanding
• General counselling and psychotherapy

 

You do not need to have a clear diagnosis or label to seek support. If something feels difficult, overwhelming, or no longer sits quite right, that is reason enough to reach out.
 

My approach

My approach is calm and collaborative. I aim to provide a space where you can slow down, make sense of what is happening in your life, and work towards meaningful and sustainable change.
 

My work draws from evidence-based approaches including:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

  • Schema Therapy

  • Mindfulness-based approaches

  • Psychoeducation
     

Qualifications & professional development

  • Master of Social Work

  • Bachelor of Psychological Science

  • Graduate Diploma of Counselling 

  • Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (Australian Association of Social Work) 
     

I have also contributed to social work and allied health education through guest speaking and teaching with the Australian National University, University of Canberra, and Canberra Institute of Technology, and have delivered professional education to staff at the Parliamentary Workplace Support Service.
​

Medicare & private referrals

I offer individual therapy and Focused Psychological Strategies under Medicare for people with a valid Mental Health Care Plan and referral. Private referrals are also welcome.
 

Clinical supervision

I also provide clinical supervision to early-career and developing practitioners working across mental health and alcohol and other drug settings.
