Emerge Social Work

Psychological Support/Counselling

About Us

Nicole and Amanda established Emerge Therapy Connections in 2014. We are Accredited Mental Health Social Workers and each bring more than 30 years professional counselling experience across a range of roles including in Community Mental Health, University Counselling, Sexual Assault, Centrelink, Chronic Health, Aged Care, Child and Family Services, Teaching and supervisory positions.

We have a love for the visual and expressive arts, movement and nature and a passion for connecting people with processes that will support, enrich and embrace life. As we live in a sometimes busy and distracted world, in therapy we create a safe space and invite you to take the time to breathe, connect, and reflect, as we work together.

At Emerge we focus on you and your experience, appreciating the complexity that relationships, work and social systems bring to life and the context problems and concerns arise in. Together we create space for support, learning and skills, healing and growth.

Warm welcome to LGBTQIA+ communities, ATSI, neurodiverse and people of all faiths, cultures and ethnicities.
