Cassandra Allen, clinical counsellor and founder of Women Assist

A grounded, relational approach

Cassandra is a PACFA-accredited clinical counsellor, clinical supervisor and author, with more than 20 years’ experience and extensive leadership experience across the community health, family violence and crisis-support sectors.

Her approach brings evidence-informed therapy together with compassion, intuition and respect for each woman’s lived experience.
