About Us
A Holistic Trauma Informed Practice
At Living Life Counselling Centre, we believe that everyone can be equipped with the tools to enable them to live life well. We see counselling as one of the many ways to develop new skills that help you to live your best life.
We have been providing professional counselling to the local community since 2009. Our team of accredited counsellors offers individual and couples counselling, as well as a variety of workshops and professional supervision. We offer critical incident debriefing and have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) which we invite you to speak with us about.
Our counsellors are professionally accredited and experienced, working in a variety of areas therapeutically. Click the ‘Counsellors’ button to read more about our team.
Testimonials
“I am a middle-aged businessman who was involved in a life-threatening accident that fragmented my world. Friends, family and normal everyday life ceased to function in ways I understood. Because of the trauma I was unable to function in normal daily life. I was unable to work due to intrusive recurring memories and a fog that enveloped my thoughts and daily living. Recommended by a past client, the team at Living Life worked with me in a supportive environment to understand the impact of the trauma in my life and assisted me to rebuild normal function so I could return to work and restore healthy relationships over time.”

“Seeing a counsellor has helped me to step back and see my issues in a wider context without being completely tied up in knots by anxieties and fears. Apart from practical things like learning strategies for dealing with symptoms of depression and anxiety, it’s been so helpful to understand how my experiences have impacted the way I think and react. It’s too easy to believe that I’m just hopeless and can’t cope with real life… since being in counselling I have learned that my reactions and fears and worries are all normal, and I’m not hopeless. And by far the most important and valuable thing is knowing that counselling is somewhere I can be safe.”

“As part of the ministry of Lilydale Baptist Church, we provide food and clothing to meet the immediate needs of folk from the surrounding communities. This entails meeting with people and listening to their stories. Listening is a crucial aspect of the care we offer. Carrying the burdens of others inevitably impacts the life of the listener to varying degrees. Bearing this in mind, we contacted Zoe at Living Life Counselling. Zoe was able to shape two 1-hour workshops to meet our needs. The material presented by Zoe was clear, informative and practical. The teaching format was interactive and provided great opportunity for individuals to contribute. Zoe drew from our experience, which made her teaching more relevant. The sessions helped us understand the nature of vicarious trauma, how to identify it and how to care for ourselves and each other as we care for others. Those that attended were encouraged and equipped further for the task at hand. Based on our experience, I have no hesitation in commending the work of Living Life Counselling.”

“Making the decision to see a counsellor is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I had to learn to trust my counsellor, and to learn that counselling is a place where I can be safe. It took time for me to build a relationship with my counsellor and to believe that she wouldn’t judge or condemn me for the things I said or the way I think. It’s unrealistic to expect to feel safe straight away, or to immediately trust someone you’ve just met. My counselling sessions always go at my pace, the pace that feels safe for me, and I have developed trust in my counsellor over time. Counselling is now a place where I feel free to talk about my fears and worries without being judged; and where I can find understanding, support and practical help.”
