A Message From Our Principal Clinician
I Get Your Struggle.
Hi I'm Shazzy, as an experienced Credentialed Mental Health Nurse with my own lived experience, I understand the weight and frustration of feeling like there is more out there for you, but not knowing where to turn to first.
That's why my mission is simple: give our clients the wellness education, tools and resources that they need to feel happy, healthy, and capable of managing life's pressures. Our clients come from all walks of life, rural, mothers, professionals who have no where safe to turn.
We promise to be there for you every step of your journey. Our goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life. We can also help advocate for you or your child. And for those we see who are practioners themsleves, we promise absolute discretion.
As an experienced speaker, trainer and lecturer I can also write and present PD, training and seminars tailored to your specific requirements to organisation, schools and workplaces on a range of topics.
We also undertake charitable work pro bono so please ask if your community group or charity needs support.

NEURODIVERSITY AFFIRMING THERAPY
We change lives, not people. We celebrate and nurture people's differences and identities and listen to neurodivergent voices. We highlight strengths, promote self-advocacy, and approach our work with a trauma-informed lens.
Positively Living acknowledges the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures; and to elders both past and present.

I recommend Shazzy as a speaker about neurodivergence and mental health.
Shazzy spoke at the Intersectionality panel event I chaired during Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2024 to a global audience of over 6000.
They brought a wealth of experience, knowledge and insight to the event, and spoke engagingly, with credibility and humanity, and with a clear and soothing voice.
They were also super reliable, insightful and supportive to me personally while I was putting the event together, liaising with the panelists, scripting the introduction and questions etc.
