Meet Lea…

Compassionate counsellor and Mental Health Practitioner.

Hi, I'm Lea Marrison, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW), professional supervisor and Mental Health Practitioner with over 15 years' experience supporting individuals, families and communities through life's challenges. I hold a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Social Work and am a registered member of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).

I provide warm, compassionate and trauma-informed support for adults, adolescents, older adults, carers and families navigating life's challenges. My approach is person-centred and tailored to your individual needs, drawing on evidence-based therapies to help you build resilience, gain clarity and move forward with confidence.

Throughout my career, I have worked across education, community and mental health settings, supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, stress and significant life transitions. I also incorporate creative approaches, including art-based strategies and animal-assisted therapy where appropriate.

Alongside counselling, I offer professional supervision for social workers, mental health practitioners and other helping professionals. I am passionate about supporting practitioners to reflect on their practice, build confidence, navigate complex work and prioritise their own wellbeing while continuing to provide high-quality care.

My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental space where you feel heard, supported and empowered. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to navigate it alone - I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
