The BEST Youth Counselling in Tallai QLD

My name is Amanda Hicks and I am an Accredited Social Worker, Disability Advocate, Educator and Lecturer. My passion is in working with children and adolescents who are experiencing the challenges of life, be it due to learning difficulties, trauma, anxiety or behaviour. My team and I support children and adolescents with NDIS Support Coordination. I lead a team of tertiary qualified Social Workers who specialise in the NDIS and disabilty. This means that families have access to specialist Social Workers with extensive knowledge and expertise in disability, assessment and case management.

The challenges and highlights of life often mirror the rhythm of Nature herself with awesome beauty at one end and hard, unforgiving harshness on the other. Just like in Nature, Life’s journey consists of mountain to climb, windy roads & rocky paths to navigate, cliffs to cling to and roaring sea’s sail. It also offers us the breath taking, wonder of new life, glow of the sun on our face, breeze gently caressing our face, soft bed of grass to rest and the sounds of birds chirping as the new light of dawn rolls over the hills. As humans, many are losing the connection with Nature and the power of healing that being in Nature has to offer. It is through the wisdom of Nature, that building the skills, resources and tools assist in navigating through your life is the key to a ‘well lived’ life. In a world where we are often inundated with information, its often hard to know where to start or who to reach out to when seeking assistance. I welcome you to join me as we venture down that path together, in a safe, supportive environment to explore & create your very own 'well lived' life. I provide Counselling and Psychotherapy services through a variety of ways such as face-to-face, phone, online and home visits to make it as easy as possible for you to have access to the services you need. I use a range of different approaches depending on individual preference and support needs such as Trauma Informed, Neurodiversity-Affirming, Somatic, Gestalt, Play, Nature and Equine Assisted Therapy. I'm also an experienced Registered Nurse so that enables me to have a much more holistic in supporting people with integrated the wholeness health (mind, body & spirit) approach.
