How our social work practice has grown

Social work careers rarely look the same. In this episode we share what ours look like now and how they keep evolving, Ashton and I talk about where that journey has taken us and the work we’re doing now.I share what it’s like running The Therapy Hub in Melbourne, supporting young people, families, and couples, as well as the trainings and parenting programs I’ve developed. Ashton talks about her dual focus: Willow Tree, her counselling clinic, and Ashton Hayes & Co Consulting, where she mentors and supports social workers across Australia.Together, we explore:The realities of running private practices and balancing multiple rolesFinding a niche in therapy and why it’s an evolving processThe overlap between mental health, relationships, and educationHow supervision, mentoring, and leadership strengthen our fieldWhy building community matters as much as individual client workGot something you'd like to hear on the podcast?🎙️ Got a question or something on your mind?
