Amy Wood

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.
