Welcome message...
Erin Prater
In private practice, I support corporate executives, employee groups, community based clients
and NDIS participants with moderate support needs.​
​Together we can explore relationship stress, decision making challenges, or impacts to daily living, whilst developing skills that can help to regulated symptoms activated by work place stress,
anxiety and panic, depression, C/PTSD and PTSD.
​
I aim to provide a safe space for First Nation Peoples, culturally diverse and divergent communities.
"Erin is caring, inspiring, and innovative..."

Lived Experience
As a person with lived experience of the effects of vicarious organisational trauma and psychological abuse on mental health, both in the work place and home settings, I bring a personal understanding of recovery, growth and skill development to my Corporate Wellbeing Support, General Counselling,
and NDIS high intensity psychosocial support roles.
​
Aim
I aim to provide care tailored to meet your need.
Areas of concern are gently explored during counselling.
Skill development and problem solving are key goals of treatment.
Connecting with empathy and compassion brings understanding of the road travelled, whilst
nurturing courage, hope and trust opens the door to learning, planning and action.
​​​
General Counselling​​
When supporting clients with challenges in daily life, I provide a confidential, non-judgemental, person centred, approach to Counselling, along with the added benefits of trauma informed practice.
​​​​​​
My approach​
As an eclectic practitioner, I match the appropriate therapeutic intervention to the presenting issue.
As a holistic practitioner, I welcome the opportunity to participate in care teams.
​​​​
Additional Services​​​
Independent Employee Assistance Program Packages available upon request.

​
First Nations People
First Nations Peoples are invited to connect as I welcome the opportunity to share in and contribute to the ongoing journey of reconciliation, cultural awareness and the delivery of culturally safe services.
