Vanessa Allen

Vanessa is the founder of Evolving Minds and wanted to create a space where children, teens and adults would feel heard and valued. She also wanted to create a space of calm and caring. Vanessa is a Mental Health Social Worker, Psychotherapist and Counsellor.

Vanessa is an empathetic clinician who strives to empower her clients in achieving and maintaining change that is in line with their values. Vanessa has worked with people from diverse backgrounds, across the lifespan and enjoys working with people of all ages. Her greatest joy is seeing others thrive, realise their potential, harness their strengths and walk beside them as they overcome challenges. Vanessa is able to gain rapport with even the most resistant clients and feels this is due to her calm, authentic and caring nature.

Vanessa is also an avid learner and is constantly updating her skills and knowledge in line with evidence based, best practice. As well as a love of learning, Vanessa is also a gifted teacher and presenter. Before moving into private practice, Vanessa worked in the government and non-for profit sector in the area of child protection and out of home care, providing assistance to children, adults and families who were impacted by trauma. She is experienced in working with complex behaviours and presentations, including oppositional defiant disorder, ADHD, ADD, sensory processing disorders, difficulty with self-regulation, suicide and self-harm.

Vanessa's approach in working with families is both multidimensional and collaborative, as she believes our best outcomes come from working collaboratively with family and key stakeholders.

Vanessa also works in the area of eating disorders and is highly qualified to provide specialist counselling to children, teens and adults.
