Counselling in Point Cook, VIC

I was drawn into the helping profession through my love for relationships and deep desire to understand emotional processes and healing. My life experiences and journey has taken me to few countries including Africa. These gave me the ability to reflect and understand common patterns. It also, equipped me with life skills to manage unpleasant situations and massive people skills. I deem it a privilege to take the time with someone and answer how they will move forward from their situations whatever hand; life throws at them. All of these feelings have led me to aspire toward the rewarding career path of becoming a counsellor
