Our online counseling sessions are built on empathy, trust, and a dedication to supporting your personal journey. We strive to create a strong therapeutic connection that promotes self-discovery and empowers you to make positive changes in your life.
At Compass Counselling, we recognise that life’s challenges can be overwhelming. Whether you’re dealing with feelings of being lost, navigating a separation or divorce, grieving a loss, facing difficulties in relationships, confronting past trauma, or struggling with life transitions, we’re here to support you. If talking about these issues has been difficult in the past, we offer a compassionate space to discuss them now.
We build a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship where we listen with empathy and without judgment. Our approach incorporates various counselling techniques, including Emotion Code, Intuitive Healing, and Creative Therapies, addressing both the conscious and unconscious mind. We honor your entire being—mind, body, and spirit—meet you where you are on your journey, and guide your healing process in a holistic and gentle manner.
Michele and Kitty are experienced professionals, holding qualifications as social workers and counsellors, with additional expertise in alternative and creative therapy methods.
Finding self-worth and confidence to fully express and live as our true selves is essential. However, life experiences can sometimes cloud our sense of joy, make us feel unsafe in expressing ourselves, hinder our relationships, obstruct our goals, or leave us confused about our emotions.
At Compass Counselling, our mission is to blend holistic therapies with social work to help you reconnect with your true self. We aim to help you clear blockages, embrace your personal strengths, and build the resilience and inner trust needed to navigate and embrace life’s opportunities. Our goal is to support you in enhancing both your emotional and physical wellbeing.
Michele and Kitty first met in primary school in 1976 and have been best friends ever since. Their lives have followed many parallel paths, including a shared dedication to helping others, which led them both to careers as Social Workers and Counsellors.
Having navigated many of life’s challenges themselves, Michele and Kitty now bring the wisdom and insight gained from their experiences to their work. In mid-life, they leverage their personal growth and professional expertise to support others facing similar difficulties.
With over 30 years of combined experience in social work and counseling, Michele and Kitty merge their skills and knowledge to tailor the most effective treatment approach for your unique needs.
We look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing and celebrating your positive changes and empowerment.
By using energy healing you are moving the person into balance, where everything is in a more normal, healthy state, where conditions are right for the physical body to recover, thrive, and create healing on its own.
Everyone is born with intuitive abilities; it is our natural ability to understand something instinctively. This natural ability can also be attuned to our health, if you listen to your intuition, you can stay healthy. If you can listen to your body, you can transform any challenges into spiritual growth and enhanced wellbeing.
The Emotion Code is a simple and effective way to identify and release trapped emotions using muscle testing (which is often called kinesiology).
Drama Therapy (also spelt Dramatherapy) is a form of creative arts therapy that uses drama to facilitate change and healing. Clients do not need experience in drama to benefit from this creative method of therapy.
Michele and Kitty are qualified social workers and accredited through the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). Social work is a university-qualified profession dedicated to assisting people to improve their lives, with a focus on their personal and social wellbeing.
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:
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.
We look forward to walking alongside you in your healing and recovery and celebrating with you in your positive change and empowerment. We will get back to any enquiries within 2 business days.
