HI, I’M COBIE,

For as long as I can remember, I knew I was always destined to do this work.

I remember speaking to my year 7 careers teacher and jotting down I wanted to be a counsellor. I felt I was here to serve others.

Over the years, I’ve worked in community services, as a support worker, case worker and mentor for a diverse range of clients. My roles covered mental health, foster care, education and disability support. As much as I love this work, I’ve always known deep down, that I had more to offer. This is my calling.

So, what is holistic counselling you ask? Holistic counselling is solution-focused. It aims to empower clients to identify their desired outcomes and provide guidance, support, tools and life skills. This enables you to be your own healer. Holistic counselling is based on humanistic psychology. I build supportive foundations with my clients, and assist them to make the changes they wish to see. We work together as a team to live a purposeful and fulfilling life.

When working with you my emphasis in holistic counselling is on facilitating self discovery and self healing. I will empower you to take control of your own life. You will take an active role in your sessions, and will continue to integrate strategies learnt during our time together, into your everyday life. This will create lasting change. Your success is largely dependent on effort but please don’t fret, I’m right here with you!

The road to healing and self discovery is never linear, can it be difficult and uncomfortable? Definitely. Can it sometimes feel a little too much? Yes, but is it worth it? ABSOLUTELY!!!

Doing the work is what facilitates healing and creates space for new and better outcomes. Our pain and discomfort is an opportunity for growth. In order to heal, we must show up for ourselves in a way that no one else can.

I have a deep passion for living life to the fullest, along with supporting as many people as I can to do the same. After a long and winding recovery journey, I am committed to life-long learning and self-care to better myself and my outcomes in all areas of life.

When I first started investing in self development and my own healing journey, I became a life devotee after the results that came fourth. I love that by doing the work, we don’t necessarily know the outcome and more often than not, they have been beyond what I thought possible. There is nothing more I love than the feeling of evolving as a person, so I grew to view pain as an opportunity to up level and came to see that my hardships were later rewarded with the gift of growth.

After my life-altering accident, I was gifted with rare insights and a second chance at life. Although my recovery has been long, hard and unbearable at times, I am grateful for the growth, learnings and wisdom I’ve gained to share along the way. My own struggles have contributed exponentially to my role as a healer and something I see as an opportunity to guide and support others on their journey.

You’ll find me at the beach most days, this is my ultimate happy place. Otherwise, I spend my time out in nature, adventuring, catching waterfalls, practicing yoga, reading and investing in my own personal development through courses, coaches and therapists to continue being the best version of me.

I was told it was a miracle I survived, and I truly believe the reason for my still being here is because this work is my true calling. I was yet to live out my life’s purpose and mission and make an impact into the lives of many.

Let’s work together to make your miracle happen!

“Where there is struggle, there too lies progress.”
