Nova Gibson has extensive experience working in the government sector (child safety), with individuals, couples and families experiencing crisis and trauma in their lives. She has seen the worst in people, and the best in people and her clients have been various, ranging from abused children, troublesome teenagers, to men and women struggling with depression and inner conflict.
