About Emily

Meet Emily, an accomplished and accredited Social Worker and counsellor with over a decade of experience within the mental health, disability, hospital and healthcare sector. Emily brings a wealth of experience and a commitment to delivering exceptional therapy and support to individuals, families and carers.

Emily believes that the best outcomes happen when therapy aligns with your unique goals and values. Her person-centred and strengths-based approach focuses on understanding the whole person – their story, environment, and relationships – to build practical, meaningful change. Clients describe Emily as warm, understanding, and deeply respectful, creating a non-judgmental space to explore challenges and rediscover confidence.

In Emily’s previous work in the hospital setting, Emily brings a wealth of knowledge in diverse areas such as maternity, oncology, palliative care, and aged care. Emily places significant value on collaborating with Carers, recognising that supporting their journey and facilitating transition/adjustment is crucial in understanding the individual within their broader context.

At With Grace Therapy, Emily offers counseling and social work support, utilising therapeutic approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Emily’s approach empowers individuals to draw on their existing strengths, navigate change with confidence, and feel more connected to what matters most.

You may be asking yourself:

  • Do I want to better understand my thoughts, emotions, and patterns so I can move toward the life I value?
  • Am I feeling worn out or emotionally drained from caring for a loved one?
  • Could I benefit from learning tools to manage stress, grief, or burnout?
  • Do I often put others’ needs first and forget to care for my own wellbeing?
  • Am I finding it hard to adjust to a new stage of life – such as moving home, starting or ending a relationship, or returning to work?
  • Could I benefit from a safe space to talk about guilt, worry, or exhaustion that comes with parenting?

Emily also offers supervision to social workers and human service professionals both in person at our Kedron office and online to anyone in Australia.
