Your Counsellor 

My name is Donna, and I've always known my life purpose is to assist others.

​

This is evident from the various roles I've had in business, marketing and customer service, along with nineteen years working as a Secondary Education Teacher. During this time, I have had my eyes opened to the many mental, physical, social and emotional concerns the youth of today have and continue to experience. I have experience working across diverse cultures and with the LGBTQI+ community.

 

My mission is to assist you on a deeper level to be empowered, find hope, and strengthen your belief in self to improve wellbeing. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, such as Person-centred, Solution Focused, Strength-based, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Emotion-focused Therapy, amongst others. The knowledge, skills and understanding I have obtained over the years will enable me to best meet your needs. 

​

I am informed in:

  • Trauma and Counselling

  • Mental Health Assessment and Intervention

  • Loss and Grief

  • Addiction Counselling

  • Group Facilitation

  • Working with Couples, Families and Children

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Skills

​

My Qualifications:

  • Bachelor of Education (Secondary)

  • Associate Diploma of Business (Marketing - MCA)

​

I feel deeply honoured and privileged to assist others, and value the trust placed in me. 

I would be honoured if I am intrusted to assist you.
