I'm Flora, Originally from Iran, my journey led me to Australia10 years ago as a refugee. I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's in social work from the University of South Australia. My passion lies in championing social justice and empowering individuals to reach their fullest potential.
As a Registered Social Worker, I draw from my own life experiences and deeply value the lessons learned along the way, shaping my path and instilling in me a profound belief in the resilience of the human spirit. With years of experience spanning various sectors including government and non-governmental organizations, I've served as a lecturer, senior counsellor, social worker/support coordinator, and mental health clinician.
Being multilingual in Farsi (Persian), Turkish, Dari, and English, I bring a unique perspective to my work. Having navigated personal battles with mental health and the challenges of refugee life, I have worked with a diverse range of issues including family/domestic violence, sexual assault, disability, mental health, gambling and gaming addiction, and blood-borne viruses, working with individuals across the lifespan from children to adults.
My advocacy work is fuelled by a commitment to truly listen to individuals, recognising and honouring their choices and agency in shaping their lives.
Together, let's navigate the complexities of life, embrace our strengths, and create a world where everyone has the opportunity to flourish.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
