Hello
Bach Arts (Psychology) Hons.
I am Theo, Co-Founder and Lead Support Mentor at Purposeful Connections, an organisation my wife and I started out of our passion for helping people in our community live purposeful and meaningful lives. My vision is to live in a world where all people have the skills, health and connections to live to their full potential and have a better quality of life.
My Story
I have a desire to serve others, and am empathetic, caring, and invested at my core. I have a solid foundation of four years in psychological studies and more than half a decade of experience in mental health and disability support, working with children, adolescents, and adults. My experience has involved working with people wanting to explore the community or learning to be more independent all the way to assisting people with complex needs such as navigating stable housing, dealing with the legal and health system as well as responding to challenging emotions and behaviours. I am a strong communicator and have been responsible for collaborating with multiple stakeholders such as therapists, support workers and personnel in the legal and health system in order to achieve the goals of the people I have supported. These characteristics and experiences give me the skills and knowledge to help people achieve their version of a purposeful life.
​
My approach to support is deeply person-centered. I listen attentively to the needs and aspirations of each individual, collaborating with them to create a tailored plan designed to achieve their unique goals. I firmly believe that every person holds the potential to achieve great things, and I am dedicated to helping them unlock their full potential.
​
Throughout my career, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of support. I have had the privilege of assisting numerous individuals in building new friendships, acquiring essential life skills, such as cooking, and creating stability in their lives with appropriate housing or working on strategies to assist them in regulating their emotions. It is these success stories that inspire me to continue working toward a world where people live with purpose.
​
I am passionate about family, cooking and nutrition, playing music, getting out into nature and capturing photos, developing meaningful relationships, spirituality, and money management. You will find me most days having my bone broth beverage to kickstart the day, going for a walk along the beach, playing board games with my family, cooking up a storm in the kitchen or on the BBQ, rocking out on the drums or guitar, and playing with my daughter.
​
My mission revolves around assisting individuals in exploring their interests, creating healthy routines and habits, preparing nutritious meals, assisting with budgeting, gearing up for employment, and developing meaningful connections within their communities.
Contact
I truly hope that we can work together to create a more purposeful and meaningful community. I appreciate the opportunity to serve those in our community and help them achieve their goals.
