Counselling in 3465

My name is Lissa McIldowney and I decided to become a Counsellor during the 2019/20 bush fires in Victoria. Having been through the loss of my family home and business in a fire several years before, I felt I could use this experience to help others. I believe that loss and how we integrate it is a key factor in the quality of our lives. In my practice, I help people to pick up the threads of their lives and weave them around their losses, whatever these may be. My hope is for each person to find their unique pattern, one that includes and honours spaces for the missing.
