My career started off as a primary school teacher and then I moved into homeschooling my kids. I have a Bachelor of Teaching - Early Childhood (0-8 years) and a Masters in Primary Teaching. During my years in teaching, I had the opportunity to gain a wide variety of skills, which led to me becoming a Chill Skills Coach for kids (5-12 year olds).A few years ago, I obtained my Diploma of Counselling from AIPC (Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors) and now have my own counselling practice - Arukah Life Counselling. I furthered my study in the following areas - Grief and Loss Counselling, Family Therapy and Abuse Counselling. I provide a friendly, non-judgemental service for individuals of all ages. I am a general counsellor, with an interest in Solution Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Arukah Life ..... healing, restoration and wholeness. It is about being healthy in our physical, mental and emotional states. I believe everyone has the ability to make positive changes in their lives when in a safe and respectful environment.
