Social Worker in Private Practice

I’m Tammy Roche. I’m Métis, a Canadian who plays between Australia and Canada, and I am the social worker in private practice. This podcast is where I share what I’ve learned—and what I’m still learning—about staying steady in a world that often asks us to speed up, give more, or be less of who we are. I speak from lived experience, from running a value based business, from my work with clients, and from my own body—because I’ve found that things start to shift when we slow down and tell the truth. Some episodes are about running a values-based, sustainable private practice. Some are about grief, nervous system care, or walking away from old patterns. Some are just about being human—navigating the mess, the meaning, and everything in between. I use words to simplify what others complicate—and I do it with both feet on the ground. I don’t pretend to have it all figured out, but I know what it means to stay, even when it’s hard. With somatic threads woven throughout, this podcast now carries episodes from The Helpers Podcast alongside new reflections—anchored in the body, shaped by lived experience, and grounded in the quiet knowing that we’re not meant to do this alone. If you’re a social worker, a client, a helper, or someone simply trying to live with more truth and less noise—there’s space for you here. This season, I’m exploring what it really looks like when the personal and professional meet—in our practices, our bodies, and our everyday lives. Let’s walk it together. One grounded step at a time.
