Tony Johannsen

Executive Manager, Clinical Practice and Quality

Tony draws on his extensive clinical and leadership expertise in his role as Executive Manager, Clinical Practice and Quality at Family Life.

A psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, Tony has 10 year’s experience delivering trauma-informed leadership and resilience training to corporate and non-profit clients.

He started his clinical career in the Alcohol and other Drugs (AOD) sector, working as an AOD forensic clinician, clinical supervisor and program manager. After upskilling as a Men’s Behaviour Change Facilitator, Tony broadened his clinical expertise beyond AOD to include working with men who use Family Violence (FV).

He later went on to develop bespoke interventions aimed at working more effectively with men who use FV to help combat these shortfalls.
