Amy Wood

Lived Experience and Counsellor
Panellists have generously contributed to our CPD webinars. Please note that they are not employed by MHPN, and we are unable to contact them or provide referrals on your behalf. Please do not send us patient details.

Amy (she/her) is PACFA registered counsellor and lived experience advisor living and working on Wurundjeri land. Amy is passionate about individualised, neuro-affirming and LGBTQIA+ safe care and amplifying the diverse voices of lived experience. Amy uses her lived experience to inform the work she does, whilst keenly listening to the voices of the broader lived experience community. She sees great strength in embedding lived experience into all levels of care and leadership within the mental health sector, and particularly the eating disorder sector. In her private practice she blends lived experience support with evidence-based clinical care, merging two areas that are typically separated and siloed.

The Mental Health Professionals’ Network (MHPN) respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri and the Boonwurrung people of the Kulin nation, the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which our office is situated. We also acknowledge Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. Find out more.
