LIONHEARTED COUNSELLING AND EXPRESSIVE THERAPIES (LHC)
Hi there. My name is Rashidah.
I have ten years of social work experience working in a number of diverse settings inclusive of BHS maternity ward, youth crime prevention, infant and child mental health, and adolescent mental health at Headspace.
I have completed a Bachelor in Social Work at Victoria University and a Masters in Child Play Therapy at Deakin University.
Since graduating from my social work degree, I have continued to develop my counselling and assessment skills.
This has included engaging in the developmental psychiatry course @Mindful that assists with assessing children, adolescents and families presenting with a variety of social, emotional, behavioural, and developmental difficulties.
I also supervise social work students on placement when I am not engaging in private practice.
My training has included,
-Certificate in CBT with Children and Adolescents (CBT Australia)
-ACT for depression and anxiety disorders (Russ Harris psychwire)
-DBT Comprehensive Training (CME Academy)
-Certified Sandplay training and continuing to be supervised under 3 international sandplay trainers
-EMDR Level 1, and EMDR 2 (adults, and child and adolescent training ).
-2 years post-graduate training play therapy training at Deakin University
Outside of work, I love music, art, film, books and spending time with my family and friends.
I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW). AMHSWs are recognised providers with Medicare Australia and other programs, delivering clinical social work services in mental health settings and utilising a range of evidence-based strategies in their counselling.
You might refer a child, adolescent or adult in relation to social. generalised or separation anxiety, grief and loss, emotional dysregulation, depressive symptoms, trauma, and with presentations such as ASD and ADHD. At this point in time I am unable to accept referrals for eating disorders, forensic issues or gender dysphoria.
This is not a service for acute mental health presentations.
If you have major concerns about someone's mental health, please call the Grampians Area Mental Health Service, Access and Triage Team on 1300 247 647. In an emergency contact 000.
LHC's vision is to provide accessible and affordable mental health counselling using evidenced based therapeutic modalities inclusive of play therapy, CBT, ACT, DBT and EMDR.
LHC core values include collaboration, continuous learning and creativity.
