Meet Our Team
The team at Bernadette Glass and Associates comes with a wealth of experience in the human services, across many decades and is sought after for their work in practical application of Strengths-based Person-centred approach.
Bernadette Glass
Bernadette Glass has worked in the human services arena for over 40 years – in the health, and various community sectors. With qualifications in nursing, community service and counselling, Bernadette’s broad range of experience has led to a great deal of practice wisdom and training experience.
In the late 1990s, after gaining inspiration, practice and support from St Luke’s in Bendigo, Bernadette commenced training and consultation, presenting The Strengths Approach throughout the human services and early childhood intervention sector. Today Bernadette also works as a registered nurse combining both her health and social and community services experience.
Bernadette has consulted with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development in producing Strengths-based resources in Victoria and in 2025 contributed to the National Best Practice Framework Enquiry.
Centred on the understanding that those who seek support in the health and community sector often do so when they are most vulnerable, Bernadette’s Strength-based, Person-centred approach offers connection, compassion and confirmation related to all people.
Bernadette is committed to ensuring participants are made aware of the powerful impact these basic communication and relationship skills have on the wellbeing, healing and empowerment of clients.
