am so pleased to be working with Summit Counselling Services. Our mission is to provide a safe place for every person in their time of distress. Whether it is distress from life’s circumstances, anxiety from trying to cope with the pressures of life, or from depression and not being able to cope at this time. I am passionate about providing the best service possible, to serve each person who comes through the door with the hope of rewriting their story and walking along side of them on their healing journey.

Counselling and Pastoral care have been my focus during the last 20 years​ in my roles as a church Pastor and a volunteer ​for the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services.

As a Chaplain and ​Peer Supporter​ I assisted emergency service person​nel with​ their​ every day life ​issues ​a​s well as recovery from traumatic events.

​I use a narrative approach in counselling for depression, anxiety, trauma and grief as well as for marriage and other relationship counselling.

Hello! My name is Vi and I am currently pursuing a Masters of Counselling at Christian Heritage College.

I have always had a passion for working with people from different walks of life. I have a background in teaching so have a lot of experience working with children and adolescents, however in my counselling practice I have had the privilege of working with clients of all ages. With a relational, client-centered approach to counselling, I believe in the inherent worth and autonomy of each person I work with, and am dedicated towards cultivating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences.

I began my working career as a teacher, however I have always had an interest in helping others find healing and worth. This motivated me to study counselling. Soon after I graduated, I began volunteering at a local church in their prayer centre, which focussed on inner healing through prayer. My interest in neuroplasticity led me to complete a Graduate Certificate in Neuropsychotherapy in 2019. Most recently I became interested in the Enneagram and the wealth of understanding it brings to why we think, feel and act the way we do. I enjoy working with individuals in the areas of inner healing, trauma, anxiety, forgiveness, spiritual healing, personality, purpose and identity.
