Presenter Profile
Frances Carleton is a counsellor and psychotherapist of six years. In a previous life she was a change management consultant and trainer for more than 20 years. The idea for WildTalk came to her as she worked with animal rescue – first domestic and then wildlife. She was a volunteer for three years, rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing lizards, turtles and snakes. Frances noticed a need for wildlife carers to be supported in their work and started offering free counselling to carers in 2015. In 2018, Frances was invited to speak at the Australian Wildlife Rehabilitation Conference on the subject of mental health, and her research formed the basis for the foundation of WildTalk. Frances has a Masters of Applied Counselling and Psychotherapy and Master of Writing, as well as a Diploma in Business Administration and Certificate IV in Training.
