Nichole Parthenis

Currently undergoing a diploma in mental health, I am excited to be completing my placement with the incredible team at Positive Future Self.

I am extremely passionate about expanding my knowledge in the field of forensic mental health in the near future. I am dedicated to working with individuals involved in the justice system or facing significant psychological challenges. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centred, and focused on promoting recovery, resilience, and dignity.I am a dedicated and compassionate professional with a diverse background in support work, business, legal assistance, as well as photography. As a birth, employment and disability support worker, I have provided advocacy and guidance to individuals and families navigating complex challenges. My experience as a legal assistant has given me insight into systemic processes, strengthening my ability to support people facing legal and mental health difficulties.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my beautiful family, my husband, three daughters, and fur baby Teddy, exploring our local beaches, dancing and capturing special moments for families. 

As a wife and mother, I understand the importance of family, support networks, and holistic well-being. This personal perspective allows me to connect with people on a deeper level, providing empathetic and professional care while ensuring they receive the support they need and deserve.

I look forward to continuing my journey in the mental health field, along with ongoing learning, professional growth, and making a lasting impact by empowering individuals, promoting recovery, and fostering a more compassionate and inclusive approach to mental health care.
