Counsellor

Graduate Certificate in Counselling, Bachelor of Counselling, Advanced Diploma in Counselling, Diploma in Counselling
Certified Sex Addiction Candidate (IITAP), ACA Level 2 Member No. 17481, CCAA Provisional Member No. 501413

My name is Louise, and my husband of 24 years and I have six children. Some of our children are being schooled at home whilst others are in the school system (public and private). In light of this, I am aware of the challenges and joys that parenting and family life bring.

In life, we face challenging and difficult events and sometimes it helps to talk these over with someone outside of the situation. As a counsellor, I can ‘walk alongside you’ during these times and help you uncover and move forward in areas you may feel ‘stuck’ in.

I provide a confidential, friendly, caring and non-judgemental space for you to talk openly and honestly about life’s current challenges. Looking at your emotional, physical, social and spiritual needs with a client centred approach, I aim to see you come to a place of growth, healing and freedom.

I can help in areas of: infidelity, pornography, sex addiction, sexual abuse, general wellbeing, relationship difficulties, depression, stress, anxiety, goal setting, grief and loss, suicidal thoughts and lifestyle changes.

I have a special interest in helping people navigate and overcome the challenges they face due to living in a highly sexualised society. For this reason, I am currently furthering my education by studying a Master of Science in Medicine (Sexual and Reproductive Health in Psychosexual Therapy).

Please access my website for further information and to book an appointment. I provide both online (Zoom) and in person appointments. I am a registered provider with some health funds. If you have private health cover you may be eligible for a rebate depending on your level of cover.

Lorraine is a qualified, passionate and caring counsellor who studied through Alphacrucis University College and obtained a Graduate Certificate in Counselling. She is a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).

Lorraine is passionate about women’s health and wellbeing; this has led her to offer counselling services specifically tailored to women. She understands how women wear many hats, all in a day’s work: as mothers, workers (at home and in the workplace), as daughters, as relatives and as contributing members of the wider community, the juggle is real. Lorraine is passionate about seeing women carry whatever is on their plate with grace, making sure they still take care of themselves along the process.

Lorraine has special interest in cultural integration, transition to motherhood, body image issues, post-natal depression, stress management and Christian counselling. She loves to see women rise and become the best of who they are called to be in their areas of influence. She uses an integrated approach to ensure that women receive a holistic counselling service to promote their overall wellbeing.

Lorraine brings into the room a sense of relaxation, allowing the women to feel safe and free to explore what is important to them without feeling judged. Using the person-centred approach, Lorraine allows women to unpack their story in a way that makes sense to them and from there, she allows them to put the pieces together and rewrite their story in a way that is comfortable for them. Renewal and transformation are possible for everyone.

Lorraine provides both face-to-face and telehealth (online appointments). Please check out her website for more information on services provided or to book an appointment.

Daniel Sin


Counsellor

Psychotherapist, BA Psch, Grad Dip Coun & Psychotherapy, Adv DDP

Daniel’s client list is currently FULL and he is unable to take on any new clients.

Daniel’s approach to life as well as therapy has evolved from his experiences having grown up in three countries. Although no struggle is the same between one individual and another, he believes we share a common pain that is both deep and universal, despite the circumstances. His purpose is to support anyone who seeks strength and courage, not only to survive hurt and fear but also to thrive and find joy so that everyone can learn to grow in power, love and a sound mind.

Daniel works with a therapy dog called Chip whose hair does not shed. Please let Daniel know in advance if anyone attending counselling is afraid of or allergic to dogs.

Counsellor

Collapse content.

Master of Counselling Practice, Diploma of Applied Science (Nursing)
PACFA and CCAA registered

My desire is to help people bring change to their lives, to affirm them, and to help them overcome difficulties that life circumstances bring. I want to empower people to be able to see with clarity what needs to be seen and understood in order to help build positive change.

Drawing from my own life's experiences of family, having worked as a critical care nurse, involvement in cultural and faith communities, marriage, and parenting three children, I recognise first of all, the need for support and a listening ear.

As well, I work collaboratively with clients, integrating specific therapies which are personalised in individual and couples counselling situations. Treatment involves understanding your experiences and identifying patterns to bring greater self-awareness, and developing new ways of responding to foster stronger relationships. The expectation is a clearer sense of direction and empowerment.

You may want to:- learn how to manage feelings, manage your thought life, gain back control after a traumatic incident, relate better to people, be more at ease with yourself and life, process regrets of the past or anxieties of the future, process past experiences which are affecting the present, navigate the overwhelming sadness of loss, have tools to navigate healthy and safe relationships, learn effective communication skills with family and others, explore who you are and what you want in life, have trust and intimacy restored in a relationship….etc. If so, I would be delighted to walk the journey with you!
