Registered Counsellor
Meredith Jane Torpey
Languages Spoken:
- English
I am a counsellor in private practice and provide
face-to-face and telehealth counselling, and equine-assisted mental health
services and arts therapy. I work with adults, teens and children impacted
by stress; burnout; work, study and performance anxiety; trauma; injury and
illness recovery; disability; psychosocial rehabilitation; career transitions;
managing high sensitivity; and compassion fatigue recovery.
As well as holding counselling, wellbeing and educator roles in
diverse sectors including schools, workplaces, and the equine industry, I bring
over 40 years of professional equine industry experience as a coach,
competitor, trainer and assessor. This allows me to offer a unique
perspective into the world of competitive and recreational horse sports and the
challenges facing those who work and manage enterprises in the equine industry.
In addition to providing general counselling services, I
support employees and professionals in various industries including the equine
industry, as well as high performance athletes with a disability,
Para-equestrian riders and recreational riders. As an Equestrian Australia
Coach as well as a qualified registered counsellor, I am able to assist clients
who may be struggling with performance and training issues relating to their
mental health, wellbeing and their horses and can provide tools and interventions
specific to their needs in this sector.
My passion is trauma recovery and post-traumatic growth,
facilitating change through connecting people with their strengths and values,
providing a safe space for exploring options and resources, empowering
individuals and communities through journeys of self-discovery, with practical,
useful, tried and tested evidence-based interventions.
