Welcome!
Toni Hanna
Principal Clinician and Practice Owner
I'm Toni Hanna, a Clinical Social Worker and Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, and a qualified AOD (Alcohol and Other Drugs) therapist. I provide clinical therapy services for women, young people, and children, and have been a therapist since 1995. I have a belief that women do better when they are supported by other women and has been my ethos for many years.
I believe women need to work from their hearts to transform their lives into something more authentic. I see a lot of women wanting the best for their families and friends, yet not being willing to give themselves the same care. We all have strengths, and my role is to guide my clients identify theirs turn them into actions.
I work with an individualised, creative approach to each client. My practice reflects this as a warm and creative space, inspired by and created for the women, children and young people that come here.
I’m also working on my own life journey, so I’m definitely ‘walking the walk’ and not just dishing out advice. When I talk with women about what struggles they’re facing – please know, I do not have a perfect life! However, I do have tools and strategies to help women with their challenges, and more than that – to change their lives to better reflect their dreams.
I also engage in hundreds of hours each year of professional development, peer and clinical supervision, and volunteering in the field of contextual behavioural science. I hold a Bachelor of Social Work and a Graduate Certificate in Health (Addictions), and I'm trained in EMDR. Alongside my clinical work, I design and deliver training for the AASW, universities, and government agencies, and I'm a co-author of a chapter in the forthcoming book Social Work Practice in the Real World. It matters to me that I can provide evidence-based therapy and be held accountable by my peers to ensure my clients get the most up-to-date services.
