Behaviour Support Practitioner
With seven years of experience across aged care, mental health, and disability, Genevieve has built a well-rounded and compassionate approach to supporting others. She’s worked in a variety of roles over the years, including as a team leader in a disability organisation, where she supported both clients and staff through day-to-day challenges and more complex behavioural needs. She began her studies with a Diploma of Counselling before moving on to complete a dual Bachelor degree in Psychology and Counselling.
This mix of hands-on experience and academic training has helped shape her person-centred, trauma-informed style of practice. Along the way, Genevieve also ran a small counselling group focused on diversity and discrimination in the workplace—something she’s passionate about and continues to advocate for in her work. Outside of work, she’s a creative soul. You can usually find her behind a camera, making music, or exploring new creative ideas wherever they show up.
