About
Jacinta Vengtasamy
As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW), I am able to provide services under a Mental Health Treatment Plan, making clients eligible for a Medicare rebate of $87.25 per session.
I have spent nearly a decade supporting individuals, particularly young people, to improve their mental health and wellbeing. With several years of counselling and psychotherapy experience, I've helped people of all ages with a range of mental health and wellbeing related challenges. I work with people across the lifespan from prep to adolescence, adulthood and beyond.
