About Me

Hello, I’m Jay (Jayangi), a Mental Health Social Worker Accredited by Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) providing counselling and emotional wellbeing support through Thrive Together.

I have been working in the field since 2019, with experience across a range of settings including mental health, aged care, hospital, and community services. My background includes supporting individuals through the NDIS, My Aged Care, and domestic and family violence contexts.

I also provide general counselling centred on emotional wellbeing, supporting individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate and client-focused, creating a safe space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.

I bring additional experience as a childcare educator, which has strengthened my ability to support children, families, and individuals across different stages of life.

I offer trauma-informed counselling and psychoeducation to help individuals navigate life’s challenges, strengthen relationships and communication, improve emotional wellbeing, and build practical coping strategies.

I also provide art therapy in both individual and group settings, using creative expression as a gentle and supportive way to explore emotions, reduce stress, and encourage self-reflection—no art experience is needed.

My approach is warm, respectful, trauma informed and person-centred. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where individuals feel heard, understood, and supported. I offer a mobile service, with home visits and outdoor sessions available upon request.
