LINDA BURGESS
A qualified mental health social worker and transpersonal art therapist who provides therapy services to those keen to improve their personal wellbeing and achieve their full potential in life. I have over 20 years of experience in working with people who have mental health issues and trauma, as well as issues around family, parenting and other life stresses. Art therapy and counselling sessions are also available for children, teens and adults with mental health issues, and disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum.
I have qualifications in transpersonal art therapy, psychology, social work and adult education. I am a member Social Worker with the Australian Association of Social Work (AASW) and a registered Mental Health Social Worker, which entitles clients to Medicare rebates when referred under a Mental Health Care Plan through your GP, as well as being a registered Victims Services NSW provider. While I am not a registered provider with NDIS, I am able to provide services to self-managed and plan managed NDIS clients.
Referrals through You in Mind and Star 4 Kids allow 12 free visits per year in addition to the 10 Medicare sessions.
When I'm not at work I play with all kinds of arts and crafts, my family has 3 dogs, 2 cats, and assorted birds. On weekends I can be found with my other passions - horses or woodworking.
