Welcome to Empowering Counselling Therapy

Counselling provides a safe, non-judgemental space where individuals can focus on their needs and concerns. Using a person-centred approach, Empowering Counselling Therapy is a place where this is made possible.

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

Group Facilitation
Working with Couples, Families and Children

My Qualifications:

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.
