“I’ve had problems in my relationship for many years and I decided to take some steps to confront them. I participated in several sessions with Michele at Compass Counselling using the Emotion Code and counselling. Michele was amazing and explained the benefits of the sessions and how the emotions I was feeling were trapped in my heart wall. Through the interactive sessions we discussed my trapped emotions and worked through releasing them one by one. These sessions enabled me to reflect, let go of some hurt and take active steps to improve my lfe. I highly recommend Michele and the counselling programs she offers. “

about us

Holistic Approach to Healing

At Compass Counselling we understand that life can be hard. Are you feeling lost, going through a separation or divorce or grieving the loss of a loved one? Are you in a challenging relationship/s, have past trauma, or are struggling with life transitions? Have you struggled to talk about these issues in the past but would like to talk to someone now?

Through a safe therapeutic relationship, we listen to you with empathy, compassion and a non-judgemental attitude. We use a variety of counselling techniques to help you heal and move forward in your life, such as Emotion Code, Intuitive Healing, and Creative Therapies, working within both the conscious and unconscious mind. We respect you as a whole person, mind, body and spirit, meet you where you are currently at in your journey, and facilitate and support your healing in a holistic and gentle way.

Michele and Kitty are highly trained, being both qualified social workers and counsellors with additional training in alternative and creative therapy approaches.

Our mISSION

Helping you live the life you deserve

It is essential that all of us find the self-worth and confidence to express and live who we truly are. Sometimes life experiences make it hard for us to remember our joy, feel safe to express ourselves, have relationships, achieve our goals or understand what we are feeling and why.

Compass Counselling’s mission is to use the power of holistic therapies combined with social work to help you come back to yourself, remove blockages, embody your personal strengths and find the resilience and inner trust to face and embrace all that life has to offer. This will enable you to improve your emotional and physical wellbeing.

Book Appointment

Yes, we offer a discounted rate of $100 per hour session. There are separate sessions to book into with the discounted rate on our booking page.

  • Unfortunately, there is no Medicare rebate or private health insurance rebate available for Kitty or Michele.
  • The decision to begin therapy is based on several factors, such as the impact of the issues on your quality of life, financial constraints, other commitments in your life, and a readiness to make the changes you would like to see.
  • Most people begin to see relief from their symptoms within 6-8 sessions, however this will vary according to your issues and any barriers you may face that hinder your progress. Each person’s goals, treatment plan and recovery will be unique to them, and we will assist you in managing your expectations of counselling by informing you about the process and being realistic in the possible benefits for you overall.
  • Please see our booking page or contact info@compasscounselling.com.au if you have any further questions regarding the benefits of counselling or when you feel it would be the right time for you to begin.

Should either party experience technical difficulties, we will endeavour to email you straight away and/or try to reconnect online as soon as possible. If overall, more than 15 minutes of the session has not occurred due to technical problems we will offer to supplement this time, and if this is not possible, we will agree a reduced rate for that session in proportion to the service received.

Before the initial consultation:

  • New clients are asked to complete the intake questionnaire via the link provided at least 48 hours prior to your consultation appointment. At this stage we will assess suitability for online counselling to ensure we provide the best quality counselling experience.
  • Please ensure you have your appointment email from Coviu with details as how to access your session close at hand.
  • Launch the Coviu application and login a few minutes prior to the scheduled start time of your session.

In the initial consultation the therapist you see will explore your current difficulties and talk with you about how to proceed. We will want to ensure that your situation is best suited to having online therapy. However online therapy is not always suitable and in such cases we will try to recommend more suitable options that you might then wish to explore.

As therapists we aim to develop a trusting and friendly work relationship. To maintain the confidentiality and the boundaries of our work it is not appropriate to engage “socially” on any social network and social or professional forums.

As remote counselling is unique, the client needs to provide the counsellor with at least one support person as part of the intake form.
