Ms Julia Bediaga
Social Worker (Mental Health)
“I have extensive experience working in a myriad of settings such as the family violence sector, homelessness sector, secondary schools and hospital settings. I embed a person-centered, trauma-informed & strengths-based approach to build a supportive space where individuals can feel free to safely explore their thoughts”
About Me
With extensive experience in family violence, homelessness, schools, and hospitals, I offer a deeply supportive space. I embed a person-centred, trauma-informed approach, helping you gently explore thoughts and feelings without judgment. My background means I understand the complex challenges many individuals face. If you seek a safe environment to reflect and build on your strengths, I can help you find a way forward.
Approach
Therapy here unfolds with gentle pacing and clear collaboration, inviting you to guide what feels most pressing while I offer steady containment and practical tools. I work with people in Victoria and online, in English, so sessions tend to blend grounding, mindful noticing and brief skill practice you can try between meetings. We track small shifts—breath, boundary, thought patterns—and adapt what helps you feel more regulated and capable. This approach often fits adolescents and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, grief or anger.
