What Kerrianne Offers

Everyone Kerrianne works with is different. She tailors her approach to each person — their goals, their history, their pace.

  • Sessions for one person, focused on what they want to work on. Together, Kerrianne and the client work out what’s going on and find practical ways forward.

    • 50 minutes per session

    • Ages 12 and above

  • These are structured, research-backed sessions that are partly funded through Medicare. To access Medicare rebates, a Mental Health Treatment Plan is needed from a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician.

    The tools Kerrianne uses include:

    • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) — helps identify and change thought patterns and behaviours that are getting in the way

    • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) — builds skills in managing big emotions, getting through hard moments, mindfulness and relationships

    • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — helps people figure out what matters to them and stop fighting thoughts that are pulling them down

    • Psycho-education — learning about how the mind and body work

    • Mindfulness

    • Relaxation strategies

    • Skills training

    • Interpersonal therapy — working on how someone relates to others

    • Exposure therapy — facing fears step by step

    • Problem solving

    Requires a Mental Health Treatment Plan from a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician

    Funded by Medicare

    Up to 10 sessions per calendar year

  • Specialist help for people working through trauma, PTSD or family violence. Sessions go entirely at the client’s pace — Kerrianne will never push someone to go somewhere they’re not ready for.

    • Trauma-informed

    • Complex trauma and PTSD

    • Family violence

  • Support for relationship difficulties, communication problems, separation, family conflict and navigating challenging life changes together or individually.

    Note: Kerrianne DOES NOT offer marriage/couples therapy. Kerrianne works in a one-on-one setting and does not offer marriage/couples counselling in which both members of a couple are present.

  • Kerrianne provides professional supervision for social workers, mental health practitioners and other helping professionals seeking a supportive space for reflection, growth and professional development.

    Drawing on more than 15 years of experience across mental health, trauma, community health, family violence and hospital settings, Kerrianne offers supervision that is collaborative, reflective and grounded in real-world practice.

    Whether you're navigating complex client work, ethical challenges, professional development goals or workplace pressures, supervision provides a space to explore your practice with confidence.

    $180 per 50 minute session.

What is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker?

Logo of the Association of Social Workers (AASW) with text 'AASW Accredited Mental Health Social Worker'

An AMHSW is a university-trained health professional who has completed extra specialist training in mental health. AMHSWs are one of only three allied health professions that Medicare recognises for mental health support — alongside psychologists and occupational therapists. They look at the whole person, not just the problem. Kerrianne is a proud AASW.
