Every path is unique. I walk alongside you with compassion, clarity and clinical care

About Marian

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker dedicated to supporting individuals through their unique journeys. With over 14 years of experience, I provide compassionate and clinical care tailored to your needs.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating trauma, adjusting to major life transitions, or simply seeking a space to feel seen and supported—you're in the right place.

I offer a calm, non-judgmental space for growth and healing, integrating talk therapy with experiential approaches. My practice is trauma-informed and client-led, supporting your pace, your voice, and your goals.

With qualifications in Psychology, Youth Work, and Social Work, I bring a grounded and integrative lens to mental health. I’ve worked across not-for-profit, private health, and community settings, including executive leadership, case management, and direct practice roles.

Acknowledging the Traditional Custodians

I acknowledge and express my deepest respect for the Turrbal and Jagera people, the original custodians of this land. I honour their enduring connection to the land, waters and community. I pay respect to the people, the cultures and the Elders past and present.
