The face behind Connect and Evolve

Carla Mencos Riera
Founder
Carla arrived in Brisbane in December 2017 from Barcelona.
In her home country, she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Work. She worked as a social worker for over three years helping people living with a mental health condition on their road to recovery. In 2017, Carla decided that it was time to explore the world.
​
In Australia, Carla’s thirst to learn and upskill led her to further her studies, this time in the counselling realm. She now holds a Dual Advanced Diploma in Counselling and Transpersonal Therapies. For the last three years, Carla has been supporting NDIS participants as a Psychosocial Recovery Coach / Support Coordinator, putting into practice the knowledge acquired throughout her studies, and the lessons learned while working as a social worker.
Carla brings a new perspective to the game. Integrity, communication, empathy, and creativity are her core values, and these are reflected in the way she connects with people, supporting them to evolve.
