 Jordin is enthusiastic about helping people from all paths of life. Jordin enjoys having maximum communication and encourages client contribution all the way. Jordin is an attentive listener and works in a highly structured approach, ensuring clients' needs never go unnoticed. 

Jordin comes to Empowered Self Psychology with a varied tool kit suited to understanding individuals’ needs, from a highly people-focused background containing disability and youth work in residential care settings, among other things.

Jordin’s ultimate goal is to connect disengaged and at risk individuals with their community. Jordin strongly believes that personal responsibility and the power of choice significantly impacts an individual's sense of connection. Additionally, that connection brings a sound sense of well-being - a high quality of life resulting.

From Jordin:

“I believe when a person has choice over their future, recovery, and goals, that we provide them the most opportunity to become truly empowered. Instead of handing an issue to an authority and having it be resolved for you; when you take an active part in your development, you can take ownership of getting yourself this far. You reached out for help and you put in the work. You believe in yourself. You believe that you have the power to control the direction of your life to sincerely make things better.”

Of course Jordin believes in personal choice, however that doesn’t mean you’ll be on your own. Jordin uses her passion for personal choice in her role as Support Coordinator at Empowered Self Psychology to work with individuals to understand their opportunities and identify areas that require support. This means clients can expect a strong line of communication and sense of being heard.

Jordin helps clients understand their NDIS plans, and works with them to explore future goals such as education, employment, housing, finance, and more.
