Who you would be talking to
About Promise
You should know something about the person before you tell them anything about yourself. So, briefly.
Promise Igba holds a Master of Social Work and is a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers, with five years of experience. He works with individuals and with couples, in person in Canberra and online.
Sessions are shaped around what you bring rather than a fixed programme. In practice that means drawing on whichever approach fits, and saying so plainly when something else would serve you better.
He is working toward Accredited Mental Health Social Worker status. When that comes through it will open up Medicare rebates, and this site will say so on the day it does.

The room
If you are coming in person, this is where you would be sitting. Nothing fancy. Two chairs, a window, and a box of tissues that gets used.
Ready when you are
No referral needed, and no waiting list to join.
