Nadia Galvani is a qualified family and systemic psychotherapist as well as a social worker and practice educator.  She has over 15 years’ experience of working with children, young people and their families and has worked in various social care settings including youth justice, education welfare, and children’s social care. She is

currently employed in a London borough in a frontline child protection service. She has supported the learning and development of student social workers and newly qualified social workers in child protection teams. As part of the Collective Space team, Nadia offers high quality clinical interventions for families and delivers systemic training to local authorities.

Nadia has a specific interest in linking systemic ideas to social work practice. After noticing there was a gap in the market for resources that did this in an accessible way, along with two other systemically trained social worker friends, Fran and Eugene, she co-created and co-hosts The Social Matters Podcast.

Working with Nadia has been one of the safest spaces for me where I can reflect on things without being judged or criticised. It has helped me to understand myself, grow in confidence and believe in myself. The sessions helped me to reflect on the situation with my daughter and adapt – I am stronger than I thought I was. Thank you for your help Nadia, I could not have done this by myself!
