Hi, I’m Amy; I welcome you to Seva House – a place of healing and serving from the heart. I started my journey of working in human services back in 2011 when I graduated from Griffith University with a Bachelor of Psychological Science. My interest in working with people quickly grew as my passion focuses largely on social justice and dignity for all people. I completed my Master in Social Work in 2016 through the University of New England whilst balancing the demands of working and being a mum.
My professional experience extends to early intervention, child protection and mental health with a particular focus on complex trauma. I have had opportunities throughout past years to work within education; working with adolescents experiencing complex mental health, women and children with refugee and migrant status suffering from homelessness, community-based counselling and therapeutic support through government organizations in the child protection arena.
A good clinical framework is important when searching for the right clinician and I am trained in Radical Exposure Tapping (Level 1 – De-activating The Buttons), Clinical Resource Therapy (Advanced Ego States/Parts Work), Somatic-based Approaches, drawing from the Polyvagal Theory and understanding the nervous system. I am also an Accredited EMDR Consultant and member of EMDRAA (EMDR Association of Australia) – a strong treatment modality when treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder according to the World Health Organisation. I have also attended extensive training in areas of violence, abuse and neglect and trauma-informed practice with a focus on domestic violence, child protection and problematic sexualised behaviours – working with those who have harmed and those who have been harmed.
