Values and Professional Practice

Georgia’s work is guided by a strong commitment to:

Trauma‑informed, ethical, and evidence‑based care
Human rights and anti‑oppressive practice
Cultural responsiveness and respect
Holistic and systems‑informed approaches to wellbeing

She is deeply committed to creating therapeutic and professional spaces that are safe, inclusive, and empowering. Spaces where people can explore their experiences without judgement and build meaningful, lasting change.

A Commitment to Healing and Growth

Georgia is passionate about supporting not only individuals and families, but also professionals and organisations to develop the skills, insight, and confidence needed to foster safe, healing environments.

Her approach is both professional and deeply human; centred on connection, authenticity, and the belief that healing is possible with the right support.

Meet Georgia

Georgia Cranfield is an AASW Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, known for delivering highly skilled, trauma‑informed care that is both clinically embedded and genuinely human.

Her point of difference lies in the integration of advanced, evidence‑based trauma therapies with a grounded, relational approach. Rather than applying a one‑size‑fits‑all model, Georgia works with precision and flexibility; adapting therapy to each individual’s needs, pace, and goals, while maintaining a clear focus on meaningful and lasting outcomes.

Georgia is trained in leading evidence‑based treatments, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). This allows her to support clients not only in understanding their experiences, but in actively working through them with structured, effective therapeutic strategies.

Clients and supervisees often seek Georgia out for her ability to balance clinical depth with authenticity. Through creating a space that feels safe, calm, and focused, even when working with complex trauma and high‑impact experiences.

In her supervision work, Georgia offers a reflective and collaborative environment that strengthens clinical confidence, ethical decision‑making, and sustainable practice. She is particularly skilled in supporting practitioners working in high‑complexity and trauma‑focused roles.

With a career shaped by diverse practice settings and ongoing advanced training, Georgia brings a level of insight, adaptability, and professionalism that supports both effective therapy outcomes and strong, confident practice in others.

Career

& Experience

Private Practice – Trauma Untangled

I established Trauma Untangled to provide a flexible, trauma‑informed space for counselling and professional supervision. My practice integrates evidence‑based approaches and adapts to each person’s needs and goals—supporting both short‑term and longer‑term therapeutic work.

Multidisciplinary & Rural Clinical Practice

I currently work within a multidisciplinary health team, specialising in child development, trauma, and mental health. I deliver comprehensive, holistic assessments and targeted interventions for children and families, particularly within rural and remote communities. My work involves close collaboration with caregivers, schools, and service systems to support meaningful and sustainable outcomes.

Supervision & Workforce Development

Alongside my clinical work, I provide professional supervision to social workers and multidisciplinary teams, supporting reflective practice, ethical decision‑making, and clinical capability in complex environments.

I also contribute to the profession through social work education, working as a field educator, external supervisor, and liaison tutor in partnership with Australian universities.

Specialisation in Trauma & Violence

I held specialist roles within Violence, Abuse, and Neglect services across both urban and remote communities. During this time, I developed advanced clinical expertise in trauma assessment, crisis intervention, and long‑term therapeutic support.

My work included supporting:

Children and adult survivors of sexual abuse
Victim‑survivors of domestic and family violence
Individuals impacted by trauma, abuse, and neglect

I also developed specialist experience working with children and young people presenting with harmful or problematic sexual behaviours, alongside supporting non‑offending family members and carers.

Leadership & Service Development

Earlier in my career, I moved into leadership roles within community mental health settings. I developed strong skills in clinical governance, team leadership, and service development, working within high‑complexity environments to strengthen service delivery and client outcomes.

Foundations in Mental Health

I began my career in community mental health over a decade ago, supporting adults living with persistent and complex mental illness. This experience shaped my commitment to recovery‑oriented, person‑centred practice and continues to inform my approach today.

Education

& Accreditation

Advanced Supervision & Professional Development

I have undertaken advanced training in social work supervision, including completion of the AASW Advanced Supervision Program, strengthening my ability to provide high‑quality, evidence‑based supervision. My approach focuses on reflective practice, ethical decision‑making, and supporting clinicians working in complex, high‑risk environments.

My ongoing professional development includes advanced training in trauma‑informed care, PTSD treatment, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and complex mental health presentations. This ensures my practice remains current, evidence‑based, and responsive to emerging research and client needs.

Specialist Trauma & Mental Health Training

I have completed extensive clinical training in trauma‑specific and evidence‑based therapeutic models, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and intensive PTSD treatment approaches. This training underpins my work with individuals experiencing trauma, complex mental health challenges, and recovery from violence, abuse, and neglect.

Accreditation & Clinical Recognition

I am an AASW Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, recognised for my expertise in providing evidence‑based mental health care. This accreditation allows clients to access Medicare‑subsidised counselling.

I am also a Victims Services Approved Counsellor (NSW), providing specialised therapeutic support to individuals impacted by crime, with a focus on trauma recovery and safety.

Foundational Qualifications

I hold a Bachelor of Social Work and a Bachelor of Arts (Anthropology) from the University of Sydney.

This combined foundation has shaped my understanding of human behaviour within social, cultural, and systemic contexts. It continues to inform my approach to practice—supporting work that is relational, culturally responsive, and grounded in an appreciation of each person’s lived experience.
