“I’m honestly so grateful for Lita from Platypus Counselling.
We first met at a Djirra Sisters Day Out, and not long after, I reached out , I was really going through it. Things felt heavy. I wasn’t being paid, I was feeling depressed, isolated, broke, and just not myself. It really wasn’t a deadly time.
Lita made it feel safe to open up. She listened without judgment and offered real, practical support that helped me start putting things back together. With her guidance, I found the confidence to apply for a new jobs and I got one!!
I genuinely think I would’ve been in a much worse place without the encouragement and care she gave me.
Now I’m slowly finding my feet again, spending more time with friends, feeling a little lighter, and starting to feel more like myself. I’m even making art again.
I’m really thankful I reached out when I did. I’ll always be so grateful 💜”
