Social Worker

Hey, I’m Celesty (she/they)! I’m a neurodivergent, queer cycle-breaker with a passion for storytelling, creativity, and social justice. As a peer at Neuroqueer, I’m committed to creating spaces where people can embrace their fullest selves.

I’ve navigated my own journey with gender identity, focusing on creating spaces where people feel heard, validated, and accepted. I’ve had the privilege of speaking about trans identity and creativity on Ben TV Channel 31, as well as delivering a poetic speech for Trans Day of Remembrance 2024.

Outside of this work, you’ll find me playing the piano, reading, and diving into deep conversations about identity, transformation, and breaking cycles. I also love exploring different cultures and embarking on creative adventures. With a background in both masters in social work and music, I’m here to walk alongside you on your unique journey, whatever that looks like.

What’s a Social Worker?

FAQs

Where can I get support?

We have Peer Support Coaches all over Australia. We provide support in-person and also online telehealth support through video and phone calls or SMS.

How much does it cost?

We charge the rates set by the NDIS. At the moment, Social Worker support costs $193.99 per hour depending on where you’re located.

Support on weekends, public holidays and at different times during the day can cost more. Travel is also charged on top of those rates.

When you join Neuroqueer, we’ll help you create a budget and make sure that you’re happy with it.

I want support but I’m a bit unsure?

It’s very normal to feel a bit nervous about meeting a new person, especially if it’s your first time getting support or you’re unsure what to expect.

We will share a Social Story with you at each step so you know what to expect.

We will also spend time getting to know you and part of that will be helping you to figure out what kind of support you need, and how we can give you that support in a way that is comfortable for you.
