About us

At Diverse & Thriving, our goal is to help you thrive with the brain you have, rather than to change who you are.

Our therapist, Shelley, is a registered social worker with a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Social Work. Shelley takes a holistic approach with her clients, employing trauma-informed, anti-oppressive and feminist theories.

 

As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, Shelley always works with a neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming lens. She aims to create an environment of collaboration and support where clients can show up as their true selves and access belonging, connection and empowerment.

Diverse and Thriving acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work, the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. We recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters and the continuation of cultural, spiritual, and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. We thank them for protecting this beautiful land and its ecosystems since time immemorial. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all First Nations Peoples across Australia.
