I’m Robin, in private practice, Counselling Solution, Forster/Tuncurry NSW and Mid North Coast region, https://counsellingsolution.com.au/
With four adult children, I’m also a new grandmother, and love bush hiking, reading true stories, and drinking good coffee.
Social justice and disability are issues I care deeply about, and people are my enduring passion—particularly seeing people reach their true potential no matter what may hold them back, be it disability, discrimination, circumstances, or just the traumas of life.
My person-centred counselling approach respects everyone’s values. Your uniqueness is my focus, and as an integrative Counsellor I adapt and use my therapeutic framework to suit you. I may draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solutions Focused Therapy, or Couples Therapy helping you become unstuck, better dealing with painful thoughts and feelings for embracing a rich, meaningful life.
I provide services to both private paying clients and NDIS Plan and Self-Managed participants. I’ve worked extensively with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Brain Injury, Elderly and Women’s Health and Individual and Couple therapy. My Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care background is beneficial for those seeking a faith-based approach. As a registered PREPARE/ENRICH Facilitator, I’ve helped many couples identify and understand relational strengths and dynamics, and build skills promoting strong relationship growth.
I earned my Post Graduate counselling qualifications in 2011 with Sydney College of Divinity.
When based at LifeSource Christian Church, Robin also ran connect groups and taught various courses on complex areas such as sexuality, sexual abuse, self esteem, relationships and other areas. Together with her husband, they conducted couple counselling, marriage preparation and follow up. She was employed on staff from 2009 – 2011, leaving to do overseas cross-cultural work.
