We have worked together as Student Counsellors at Student Services St Lucia for over 10 years. We initially connected over our love of indie rock, being in nature and the capacity for change when we are given compassionate support. Our time together has allowed us to share our passion areas of psychology including self-compassion and self-acceptance, which have given us the opportunity to develop and facilitate the Freedom From Your Cage program, the Self-Compassion Chats, the annual UQ R U Ok Day event and to present at an international conference. We remain committed to challenging ourselves to do new things and be creative in how we can best support all the amazing students at UQ we are privileged to work with.
