About Emily B

Emily is a dedicated and friendly practitioner. Since qualifying as a social worker in 2005, Emily has been supporting families who are experiencing trauma, violence and poverty. A mother of three school-aged children and married for 17 years, she knows a bit about day-to-day family life. Emily is gentle with couples; she works with their existing strengths while supporting clients to unpick past traumas and disagreements, in order to build understanding.

Emily looks for patterns of conflict, and areas for growth and forgiveness. She can help you to create healthy routines and boundaries at home. All families can achieve warmth, safety and successful communication. Emily will show you achievable, realistic and holistic strategies to try at home that suit your needs and goals. Emily will help you to explore the influences around your family or relationships: stress, environment, family, school/work, health, etc. She has experience supporting families where there is poor mental health, disability or neurodivergence.

Emily loves working with newly formed families (e.g., a birth, a new stepfamily). Her experience as a social worker affords her a breadth of knowledge on family, health and community issues.
In addition to relationship counselling, Emily regularly works with NDIS participants and is a lecturer at La Trobe University in the social work faculty. She has a keen interest in supporting couples and families where there has been family violence or there is risk of this developing. Although community awareness and resources have increased since the 2015 Royal Commission into Family Violence, there are still unacceptably high levels of domestic abuse in our community. Emily’s approach to counselling focuses on the creation of safety and equity in the home.
