A conversation with Corinne Lindsell
-
I have always been in the Helping profession, since I was in high school (working in recreation programs for people with disabilities).
This led me to work overseas in a Summer Camp in USA for special needs, and I worked with the New Jersey Foster System, which opened my eyes to youth work and child protection.
This lead me to commencing youth Work and then completing a Post Graduate Degree in Social Work. -
My Christian faith is very much a guiding base for my own personal development, and they match up well with the AASW Professional Standards and Code of Ethics.
-
Mental Health and positive well being should be accessible to everyone, and I believe everyone has a right to feeling Safe; Physically and Emotionally
-
CBT, Christian Counselling, Mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy, Strengths Based Theory and Systems Theory.

Depending on their stages of change and area of need, they can feel immediate progress or it could take them a while to unpack some surface things before progress is noticeable.
Either way, the client needs to feel comfortable with sharing vulnerable information and rapport needs to be made. -
Personally as a recipient of therapy I have developed life skills.
As a therapist, it is fulfilling to see people reach their goals and strive for health.
The professional and personal experiences I have with therapy has enabled me to access genuine empathy and become more approachable.
It has taught me to always listen, because everyone has a story -
The privilege that it is to walk beside someone in their storms
-
oh absolutely !!!

Acceptance
Fear
Self love
Loneliness
They all intertwine -
