We are excited to introduce Bethany Maddison to the YCM team as our Virtual Assistant. 

Personal Background

My husband and I have been married for 7 years and we have a son who is 1 years old. We recently welcomed our second child and so I am currently on Maternity Leave. We also have a big goofy Labrador and he is our son’s best mate.

My personal interests include dancing, walking along the beach, spending time with my family and being creative via a crafty outlet.

Qualifications & Working Background

I completed my Bachelor of Nursing in 2017 and then trained as an Intensive Care nurse. I then changed my focus and have been working as a Community Registered Nurse with NSW Health for the last 5 years. I have also worked in the hospitality, retail, barista/ waitressing, event management and personal assistant sectors.

I look forward to assisting you as part of the YCM team.

Qualifications

I completed my Master of Counselling in two areas: Relationships as well as Crisis & Trauma. I am a registered Counsellor with the ACA and have achieved Level 3 membership.

Working background

Over my career I have trained in a number of fields however my focus has always been on serving others. I have worked as a Rescue Paramedic, an Exercise Physiologist, and a business leader in the corporate world.

Overall, I have found that the key to being effective in each of my roles has been to listen and to remain present with each person in moments of joy as well as in their deepest pain.

I won’t ask what is wrong with you. I want to know what hurt you and then journey alongside you to find your healing.

So… how can I help you today?
