Meet Our Compassionate Counsellor
With over 15 years of experience and a Master’s Degree in Counselling from Monash University, a member of the ACA (Australian Counselling Association), Steven offers expertise in addressing mental health, relationship issues, grief, trauma, addiction, identity, and self-esteem. Driven by a profound calling, Inner Compass Counselling is motivated by fostering healing and growth through empathy, non-judgmental support, warmth, collaboration, and a holistic approach.
The journey into founding Inner Compass Counselling began with a personal struggle that transformed into a mission to aid others in their recovery and self-discovery. Rather than following a conventional career trajectory, my path was shaped by the lessons learned from overcoming adversity. Seeking support from counsellors during my own battle with trauma and mental health challenges led to a profound realisation of the need to share empathy and understanding with others in similar situations.
My transition from client to counsellor was marked by moments of doubt and uncertainty, but also by the profound connection that comes from authenticity. Armed with both formal education and lived experiences, I established Inner Compass Counselling as a sanctuary for an individual to embark on their healing journey. Today, as the founder, I am dedicated to guiding others toward their inner healing and growth, remaining committed to helping them uncover their true potential and find their True North amidst life’s challenges.
