Hamida Parkar , AASW

Hamida Parkar is an Accredited Social Worker registered with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) who practices from Australia and offers care in English, Hindi, and Marathi. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, and a range of life transitions. Hamida combines evidence-based and humanistic methods to support clients as they build resilience and work toward meaningful change.

Her approach is integrated and collaborative, drawing on trauma-focused, recovery-oriented, anti-oppressive, behavioural, ecological family systems, response-based, and narrative-informed techniques. This mix allows her to address both immediate safety and coping needs and the longer-term patterns that affect wellbeing. Hamida aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace and develop practical skills to manage current challenges.

In addition to her AASW accreditation, Hamida holds academic training in social work and sociology and has completed certificates in trauma-informed practice, response to sexual assault and domestic violence, group facilitation, and complex trauma interventions. She works with individuals facing issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family adjustments, body image and eating concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, domestic violence, and first responder related difficulties, supporting each person with compassion and practical strategies.
