CASV Staff – Meet the team

Meet Our Team

CASV team is made up of dedicated professionals who bring a wealth of experience, diverse backgrounds, and deep commitment to supporting survivors of sexual violence. With many years of collective work in the trauma and anti-violence sector, we are united by a shared passion for creating safe, empowering spaces where healing, growth, and justice can take place.

What We Bring:

🧡 Trauma-Informed, Survivor-Centred Approaches
CASV counsellors and Centre support team prioritise safety, choice, collaboration, and empowerment in every interaction. We honour each person’s story and create spaces where people can explore their healing at their own pace. 

🎨 Diverse Modalities 

CASV counsellors uses a variety of evidence-based and expressive therapies including strength-based approaches, narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, sensorimotor psychotherapy, internal family systems and acceptance and commitment therapies. CASV is a neurodivergent welcoming and affirming service. We tailor our methods to meet the unique needs of each individual. 

🌿 Strengths-Focused Practice
We believe in the power and resilience of survivors. We work alongside individuals to uncover the strengths, values, and inner resources they already carry, supporting their journey toward recovery and self-empowerment.

🌏 Culturally Responsive and Inclusive
We are proud to reflect diverse cultural backgrounds, languages, and worldviews. Our team includes multilingual staff and people with lived experience across different communities. We value cultural safety and understand the importance of representation and inclusivity in healing spaces.

📢 Advocacy and Social Justice
Our work is grounded in the understanding that sexual violence is a social issue, not an individual one. We advocate for systemic change while also working at the individual level to support survivors. We acknowledge that systems are not always equitable, and we actively work toward justice and transformation.

🤝 Warm, Collaborative Team Culture
CASV staff describe their work environment as supportive, caring, and purpose-driven. Many have been with the organisation for years, contributing to a deep sense of trust, shared vision, and continuity of care for those we support.

🎶 Whole-Person Approach
Outside of our professional roles, many of us are creatives, nature lovers, community builders, and lifelong learners. We bring our full selves into this work — with compassion, curiosity, and care.

Our Commitment

We walk alongside survivors with respect, compassion, and belief in their ability to heal. Whether through individual counselling, group work, community education, or advocacy, we are here to support a future free from violence — where all people can thrive in safety and dignity.
