Nina Amlakian
Nina has a background in community services and psychology, and is currently completing her Master of Rehabilitation Counselling.
Over the years, she has worked in roles that have allowed her to support people with disabilities, mental health challenges, and families from diverse backgrounds.
She is skilled in behaviour support, staff training, and service coordination, and tries her best to approach every situation with patience, compassion, and respect. She enjoys learning, and has completed qualifications in community services, early childhood education, and training and assessment, which have helped her support both clients and staff in meaningful ways.
She doesn't see herself as an expert—She simply aims to keep improving, continue her education, and use her skills to help others feel supported and understood. Building positive relationships, listening carefully, and creating a safe space for people are values that guide her work every day.
