Petrina is a compassionate and highly skilled counsellor, art therapist and reiki practitioner with three decades of experience. Dedicated to helping people define their personal needs and reach their counselling goals, Petrina provides a non-judgmental and respectful environment for her clients to explore their concerns. Petrina supports her clients to overcome their challenges and build a strong, secure platform for transformation and personal development. She believes counselling gives people the opportunity to develop profound insight into who they are, why they behave in certain ways, and most importantly, the potential pathways to change. Helping people with conditions such as anxiety, depression and trauma, Petrina takes a holistic approach to healing, focusing on mind, body and spirit and striving to empower her clients to be more confident. She often uses art therapy as part of her counselling and says it helps to bring people into the feeling part of themselves, rather than the thinking part. It can have a profound impact and allow the mind and body to work together. Petrina’s past personal experience with trauma and addiction resonates with many of her clients. She believes she has been gifted with the ability to navigate through unseen worlds of darkness, confusion and pain to bring light, understanding and healing to people. Seeing someone come away from a counselling or reiki session with a fresh sense of hope is immensely rewarding for Petrina. She always provides resources for her clients to take home in an effort to continue their own healing work, as they navigate a new direction. Each session and relationship with Petrina is unique. Her way of being with you will be personalised, authentic, gentle and highly intuitive. She will discuss your goals, individual needs and your personality. Petrina is an active member of the Australian Counselling Association and the Mental Health Academy. She has worked in the public, education, and private sectors and has a particular interest in providing effective therapeutic support for adolescents and adults. Read more
