We have experience in providing care to complex clients. Our team members have different strengths and qualifications in mental health including mental health nursing, life coaching – NLP, yoga and will work with you to source missing elements from other services. We embrace flexibility, individuality, a “can do” coaching attitude and develop therapeutic relationships which are supportive, respectful and build our client’s capacity. We aim to identify people’s strengths and ignite a zest for life. With previous experience in the clinical sector, we understand the need for holistic support by working collaboratively with treating teams, families, and significant others. Each individual brings their own experiences, interests and dreams and our role is to really listen and hear people and meet them where they are in their journey. At Forward Focus you decide what support you need and how long you need this for in relation to your recovery and funding.
Forward Focus Australia was founded by Carol-Ann Scahill, a first generation Australian who has experienced the journey of building a new life, finding a new community and “family” and getting to know a new culture. Carol was born in South Africa and completed her Bachelor of Nursing at the University of Cape Town. She is a registered Mental health nurse who also hold a post graduate diploma in mental health nursing from the University of Melbourne and is currently completing her Life Coaching and NLP certification. Carol’s philosophy of life is to be fully present in the here and now. Create the little moments each day of meaning and reflection so we can better understand who we are and be able to find our niche and be our best self.
At Forward Focus Australia we understand that language, cultural traditions, sexuality and spiritual beliefs are an important of who you are, and we believe that though we are all unique and different we are also the same, warmed by the same sun and ushered into sleep by the same moon and so won’t allow racism or any form of discrimination.
