Supervision
For practitioners and lived experience workers
Lived experience informed supervision for AOD and community sector practitioners seeking reflective, values-based practice.
A supportive space to explore your work, deepen insight and navigate complexity with support.
Sessions support you to sustain your practice while staying connected to curiosity, compassion and critical reflection.
Available for individual and small group supervision.
“Supervision with Benn was a safe space to explore ways to support clients, ways to support myself, have a cry and have a laugh. I always left those sessions feeling clearer, more confident and sure of my next steps.”
— Zoe | AOD Counsellor with Lived Experience
Counselling
For individuals seeking support around substance use
Counselling grounded in lived experience offers a compassionate, non-judgemental space for reflection, change and recovery.
I support people to explore their experiences with dignity, understanding and hope, recognising the complexity of substance use and recovery.
Available in person and online.
“Benn’s impact on my life during addiction and recovery has been profound. His calm, patient and honest approach helped me manage real-world challenges and build lasting change. His guidance has been integral to my sobriety.”
— Matt | Previous counselling client
Advocacy, speaking & lived experience perspectives
For organisations, events and communities
I contribute to conversations that challenge stigma and highlight the value of lived experience across the alcohol and other drug sector.
Through speaking engagements, community discussions and sector events, I aim to elevate lived experience perspectives and support more compassionate responses to substance use.
Available for panels, workshops and speaking engagements.
“Benn presented his story of addiction in a raw and honest way that was highly relatable to our group of young men. He addressed addiction and mental health with sensitivity while offering practical strategies for both personal challenges and supporting others. I highly recommend him for both young people and adult groups.”
