About Me

In 1993 Felicity completed an Associate Diploma of Counselling and, four years later, a Bachelor of Social Work (honours). Initially she worked in the disability sector and then with women in Adelaide’s northern suburbs who had experienced childhood abuse and trauma. After becoming a mother she became interested in perinatal work. Then her interests expanded to work with older adults when, in 2009, a new program became available for residents of care homes. It was here that her passion for psychotherapeutic work with older adults gathered momentum.

​

In 2018 Felicity published ‘Counselling and Psychotherapy with Older People in Care: A Support Guide’ through Jessica Kingsley Publishers which was reviewed in the Australasian Journal on Ageing. Felicity discovered the joys of writing later in life and has dabbled as a novelist. She has published several articles on work with older adults and has delivered numerous presentations, university lectures and training workshops. For a time she also offered home visits to those she feels most passionate about: people with a disability, older adults, carers and new mothers.

​

Currently Felicity coordinates and works in the ‘Your Story’ program which is an in-reach counselling service to residents of care homes across the Adelaide Hills region. She enjoys being a part of the Summit Health CONNECTcare team and balancing a small private practice on the weekend offering supervision. In her spare time she relishes getting her nose into a good book, spending time with loved ones, going to the gym and immersing herself in the Great Outdoors.
