Mariham specialises in working with adults and young people with mental health concerns, intellectual disability and ASD. She is an experienced practitioner who has worked across a diverse range of areas, including disability, Foster Care, child protection, and mental health services and is skilled at navigating the interface of NDIS supports with mainstream services. Mariham also has specialist knowledge and skills in working with individuals who have experienced trauma and promoting trauma-informed practice across families and service providers. She previously managed a therapeutic team of allied practitioners for a children's support service based on the ARC model where her love for supporting the most disadvantaged in society really grew. She has a passion for supporting those whose traumatic experience may have resulted in them being isolated from society and finding ways to increase their confidence and reconnect with the community. Mariham brings this lens to her work in developing evidence-based and person centred Behaviour Support Plans that can be readily implemented to achieve real change. Mariham is a confident and engaging practitioner who is also a skilled therapist, bringing a range of complementary skills to support her clients to improve their quality of life and reach their goals.
