Antonieta Rodrigues
Languages Spoken:
- Portuguese
I am a compassionate, responsible, and dedicated Psychotherapist with a background in psychology. I am committed to helping others and understanding the complexities of human behavior. My education includes a degree in psychology, supplemented by additional courses, and I am currently focusing on studying trauma. I have two years of experience in private practice in Australia, specializing in depression, anxiety, and providing emotional support to individuals with disabilities. My background encompasses a unique blend of academic qualifications in Psychology and Human Resources from overseas, coupled with extensive professional experience – eight years in the banking sector and two years as a psychotherapist and support worker in Australia.As a Level 2 accredited member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), I have dedicated myself to ongoing professional development. This commitment has deepened my understanding of how mental health, stress, and burnout can significantly impact both personal and professional spheres. My tenure in the banking industry has not only honed my administrative abilities, including proficiency in MS Office suite, but also provided me with invaluable insights into the challenges and pressures faced by professionals in high-demand environments. In my practice as a therapist, I have developed a particular expertise in addressing issues pertinent to immigrants – navigating the complexities of the immigration process, managing stress and burnout, and coping with long-distance family dynamics. These skills have been further refined through various internships. In my role as a Support Worker, I have significantly improved my English language skills and demonstrated profound empathy and understanding in assisting individuals in need, which has been immensely fulfilling.
