Social Work
At Here and Heard, we recognise that navigating health, social, or justice systems can be overwhelming. We're dedicated to providing social work services tailored to your experiences and needs. Whether you need support with housing, income, health, legal matters, relationships, or recovery, we're here to help.
Counselling
Our counselling services offer a safe and confidential space to explore experiences, thoughts, and feelings. We support adults from all backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ communities, survivors of violence, and those navigating addiction and mental health recovery. Using trauma-informed, culturally safe, and harm reduction approaches, we prioritise emotional safety and empowerment. Sessions are available in English or Spanish, in-person or via telehealth.
Independent Clinical Supervision and Student Supervision
Here and Heard offers reflective, values-led supervision for social workers, counsellors, health professionals, and students. Our collaborative, culturally safe, trauma-informed approach fosters growth, accountability, and support, allowing practitioners to navigate complex dilemmas and develop sustainable practices. We serve both early career and experienced professionals and provide student placements and academic-linked supervision for tertiary institutions.
