The people I support often identify as LGBTIAQ+, may be questioning around their gender. Many of my clients are also neurodivergent and/or have experienced various forms of trauma and family violence which I am passionate in working alongside kindly, gently and safely. I am also fiercely sex and sex-worker positive! For updated info: www.queersomacounselling.com
Sessions take place on Monday evenings or all day Wednesdays. My name is Jodie (they/she), I'm an experienced Alcohol & Other Drug (AOD) and Mental Health Counsellor, based in Naarm on unceded Wurundjeri lands (so-called Melbourne, Australia). I can offer EMDR therapy, ACT, IFS/ego/parts work and MI.
Clients often tell me they know I am a trusted, warm and gentle practitioner who is a kind and direct communicator. What do you need in order to sit and be in this space with me today? Which inner parts would you like to develop or express, where would you like to go and what would you like to be doing? Let's work together to get you there.
