My name is Louise, and my husband of 23 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: pornography, sexual abuse, general wellbeing, relationship difficulties, depression, stress, addiction, 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.
I have a Bachelor of Counselling, Advanced Diploma in Counselling, and Diploma in Counselling. I am continuing further studies to ensure I continue to provide a current and informed approach in my counselling.

conclusions in their own time.

Counselling, I employ patient, active listening that elicits insights to support and help clients in a relatively effective way to understanding their core issue, or fear, ideation or problem area. Timely support can
move time together to the application of an applicable and guided neuroscientific approach, where together, we journey towards the revelation of what’s troubling for clarity and hopefully, healing. Additionally,
neuroplasticity supports to move our time together and apart with new ideation and belief for you to defuse, and healing your daily life and walk through self-love and ongoing, positive ideation, self-acceptance, understanding
and self-appreciation.
I hold Post Grad qualifications in Family Mediation, with a Diploma of Counseling as well as Christian Pastoral qualifications, including:
