Eden Hansted

Field of Work and Experience

Eden has worked in out of home care for four years. Beginning as a youth worker before moving into his current role.

Eden started working with children and adolescents in 2011 when he started teaching children of all ages how to swim, eventually specialising in teaching children with neurodivergence and physical disabilities.

After completing his psychology degree Eden worked at a primary school as a behaviour support aid, which saw him supporting young people who struggled with social skills and emotional regulation.

Eden is very passionate about training carers and imparting skills to improve the overall therapeutic care provided to the young people he works with. He believes skill building should be fun and does his best to individualise therapy to make it fun based on individuals likes and interests.

Eden is always striving to build upon or create new resources and tools for young people and their carers. Eden believes that gamification and the use of AI will be a standard for therapy in the future.

Eden enjoys watching young people thrive and believes wholeheartedly that all it takes is one trusting and healthy relationship to make that happen.

Aspirations and Personal Interests

Eden’s biggest aspiration in life is to never stop growing as an individual and to continue challenging himself in all aspects of his personal and professional life.

Outside of work, Eden is a martial arts fanatic, athlete and cherishes the time he spends with his wife and fur-baby Bella.
