Awadia Osman - Accredited Mental Health Social Worker

Qualifications:

• Bachelor degree in Social Work through University of Melbourne.
• Certificate 3 in Life Coaching through Open Doors

Experience:

Awadia has worked in the public sector and charity organizations supporting clients with mental health issues and substance misuse.  Awadia has worked in the community for more than 10 years.  The support period ranged between telephone counselling support and face to face support which usually included advocacy for the client and their families at the time and as a result had multiple mental health disorders some of them resulting in substance misuse.  Awadia worked with clients diagnosed with depression, anxiety, bipolar and other anxiety related issues.

Approach:

Awadia believes in choosing the approach that is more suitable to the client rather than following one approach.  Every client has a different story and therefore the support period needs to be designed to be able to travel the journey with the client and achieve the best result for them.

 Awadia uses Narrative therapy as a starting point and then applies CBT, ACT and other therapies that might be of need along the support period.  All approaches and techniques are evidence based

Days Available: Saturday face to face. Telehealth Tuesday afternoons and Saturday's on every fortnight.
