I’m Robin, a qualified counsellor in Private Practice, Counselling Solution, in Forster/Tuncurry and Mid North Coast region, www.counselling.com.au
With four adult children, I’m also a mother, 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’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, and with a Certificate in Relationships and Couples Therapy, 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. I'm currently completing my Masters in Counselling at Torrens University.

Are you experienced working with disability?
Yes, I understand how people living with disability have special needs for accessing, expressing, and understanding information, and our Counselling Solution sessions are focused on your unique needs and abilities.
I provide services to both private paying clients and NDIS Plan and Self-Managed participants. The NDIS recognises counselling as an important intervention for people who live with disability. Counselling Solution sessions are available under the NDIS category: Improved Daily Living Skills—Individual Counselling—support item 15_043_0128_1_3
