Meet our Founder Sanja
Hey there everyone! Welcome to my cozy corner! It's such a pleasure to connect with you all. I'm incredibly passionate about helping people like you navigate the twists and turns of life's journey with clarity and confidence.
Now I know what you are thinking - what's with the name? Well, let me shed some light on that. You see life can be a bit like a dimly lit room sometimes, right? Full of twists, turns, and occassionally a power outage. Some of my lived life experiences include challenges such as: cultural and language diversity (CALD) - as a teenager I had to adjust to school with limited english and assist my parents along the journey, post-natal depression and anxiety, DV, divorce, single parenting, hands on experience with bipolar cases, workplace bullying (TAC/workcover rehabilitation), midlife and menapause adjustments, grief and loss, and elderly care. With some guided help we will banish the shadows and shine a light on your brighest possibilities.
So, what sets me apart? Well, let's dive in!
First off, extensive experience. I've been doing this for over 20 years now, and let me tell you, each day has been a new adventure. Working in the government community health service industry - employment, disability, rehabilitation allied health and counselling, I've seen it all. Having worked numerous diverse roles, such as leadership, interdisciplinary special cohorts project management, case management, counselling, career recruitment, sales and marketing, business development and collaboration for employment expos, training and assessment of; clients, staff and projects. This has given me a deep well of experience to draw from, which means I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve to help you overcome any obstacle. I am a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and the Australian Society of Rehabilitation Counselling (ASORC).
But it's not just about experience—it's about having the right tools for the job. That's where my comprehensive skill set comes into play. Sure I've got the counselling knowledge, but I also have a knack for strategic planning, business management, recruitment and training. Some of my more relevant qualifications include:
- Graduate Diploma’s in Counselling (UTAS);
- Graduate Diploma in Rehabilitation Counselling (specialisation); Graduate Certificate in Mental Health; Bachelor of Social Science (LaTrobe University)
- Diploma’s in Employment Services; Community Services; Career Development; Business & Frontline Management; Cert IV in Training and Assessment (TAA).
It's this unique blend of talents and continuous learning and growth that allows me to offer you holistic support, addressing both your personal and professional needs.
Now, let's talk approach. I'm a firm believer in the power of the biopsychosocial model. That might sound fancy, but it's really just about understanding that your well-being is influenced by a whole bunch of factors - your biology, your psychology, and your social environment. I believe in taking the holistic approach that addresses interconnected aspects of physical, mental, and vocational well-being. My approach is rooted in compassion, integrity, and evidence practices ensuring that the client receives personalised care tailored to their unique needs and goals. I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities including: Person Centred, Solution Focused therapy (SFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness based Therapies (MBT) so that we tackle your challenges from every angle, empowering you to take charge of your healing, growth, and success.
Speaking of success, let's not forget about results. I'm not just here to listen—I'm here to make things happen. Whether it's helping you navigate life’s challenges, a tricky career transition, land that dream job, or community engagement and advocate for your rights, I've got a proven track record of driving positive outcomes.
Of course, none of this would be possible without a healthy dose of empathy and compassion. I'm not here to judge you—I'm here to support you, every step of the way. Together, we'll create a safe space where you can explore your concerns, build resilience, and chart a course towards a brighter future.
But enough about me—let's talk about you. I'm here to be your partner in growth, your champion in the face of adversity, and your guide on the road to success. So whatever maze you've entered you don't have to navigate it alone. Let's work together to find the unconditional worth and value of the 'spark' that you are, let's make things clearer step by step.
