Donna-Marie Azar
Languages Spoken:
When human beings experience trauma or life stressors it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. My great passion is bringing healing to people who have been through traumatic/stressful experiences. I work with clients to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know and experience themselves as peaceful, complete, whole and safe as a person. Whether I am working with an individual or a couple my focus is on working relationally and collaboratively with the client/clients to create a safe, respectful and empathetic therapeutic environment. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, so I continue training in an eclectic range of modalities such as Gestalt Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Inner Child Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. All these skills and models are part of a framework that looks at the past as well as the present, which creates a pathway for clients to establish insight and healing for themselves within the counselling process. I am a qualified counsellor I trained at the Australian Institute of Family Counselling where I have obtained an Advanced Diploma in Family Counselling. AIFC training uses a holistic approach studying Psychology, Spirituality and Theology. I use all 3 aspects in my counselling whilst totally respecting and honouring the client’s own worldview in the areas of faith and/or belief systems.
