9 Benefits of Social Work
1. Person-centred approach
Social Workers adapt their sessions to your individual needs and circumstances. We focus on your unique experience, what is important for you to have a meaningful life as well as enhancing your overall wellbeing.
4. Co-produce the right tools
There is a lot of information out there around how to cope with different mental health issues. Social Workers can work with co-creating appropriate, evidence-based resources for your individual needs. Resources can be emailed to you after a session so you can practice at home.
7. Help your mental health
Social Workers provide therapy and support for a range of mental health issues. Whether you are feeling a little low or experiencing a major life change, Social Workers are available to support you through your situation.
2. Develop relationships
Relationship-building skills gained through therapy sessions can be utilised in other aspects of your everyday life. The skills you develop can help you improve and understand your interpersonal relationships at work, home and the community.
5. Confidential and private
Ethical guidelines (AASW Code of Ethics) ensure that therapy sessions are private and confidential, creating a safe space to share your thoughts and feelings. Information is only shared with written consent or if there is a threat to your or other’s safety.
8. Personal growth
Therapy often leads to increased self-awareness and personal growth by helping you see your experiences through a new perspective and giving you the tools to identify, respond and overcome challenges.
3. Unbiased support
Social Workers are trained to provide an objective, non-judgemental environment where you can freely express any feeling or concerns to an empathetic ear. You are the author of your story and what issues are discussed at certain points in the therapy process.
6. Personal autonomy
Therapy is a co-production of strategies and solutions between you and Social Worker. We can schedule sessions according to your needs, giving you control and flexibility. Strategies are tailored to you and you self-determine the pace of the therapy process based on feeling safe.
9. Make sense of your experience
Talking and connecting is powerful. Just spending time talking about your experiences, life and how you feel, can help you resolve challenging thoughts and emotions. Social Workers provide information to help you process and understand your situation.
