I’m a qualified counsellor and member of the Australian Counselling Association (level 1).With over 15 years’ experience across the private sector, providing employee assistance services for the resource sector and not-for-profit sector, within the HR environment.During this period working within a corporate environment, I found my drivers changing from working within the constraints of the corporate Policies and Procedures to a desire to work more closely with people on an individual basis, providing support and assistance in achieving an optimal outcome for each person. To support my passion, I have since formally trained as a counsellor as well as completing a 12-month training course with Lifeline WA as a crisis support office, and subsequently volunteering with them for 2 years.
