James S

Hi, I’m James! I bring a diverse background in retail, retail design and hospitality, where I have developed a strong passion for helping and supporting people. Whether I was coaching new team members through their first shifts or helping customers work through challenging situations, I learned the importance of patience, empathy and understanding.

A few years ago, I decided to move into mental health support work, and I’m currently completing my Certificate IV in Mental Health. My own recovery journey has also given me genuine empathy and a deeper understanding of the challenges people can face, as well as the importance of taking things at your own pace and recognising personal growth.

I’m a calm, non-judgemental and LGBTQIA+ friendly support worker who takes the time to understand each person as an individual. I believe in looking beyond behaviours to understand what someone may be experiencing and providing support that is respectful, person-centred and focused on their goals and wellbeing.



Outside of work, I enjoy discovering new music, hiking and exploring nature, yoga and meditation, and spending time with friends. I enjoy connecting with people and bringing a relaxed, positive and genuine approach to the support I provide.
