Let me introduce myself, my name is Madi, and I am the new school counsellor at St Mary’s and I am so excited to join such a beautiful school community. I am available each Monday of the school term to support all students, families and staff. Through CatholicCare Canberra Goulburn, I offer a free and confidential service. Through brief intervention, counselling can provide fundamental skills for implementing  positive change and nourishing growth.

Counselling can respond to a large variety of needs; developing social skills, understanding family/relationship dynamics, curricular challenges, grief and loss, self-esteem, modifying behaviours and reshaping negative thoughts. 

A little about me. I graduated with a Bachelor of Social Work and currently completing a Master of Autism. I was previously working in Acute Mental Health in Central West NSW before joining CatholicCare Canberra Goulburn.

I am committed to delivering a warm and person-centred service that focuses on building self-esteem, resilience, independence and identity. I look forward to engaging with the St Mary’s community throughout 2022 and hope you will reach out no matter how big or small your concern may be.
