Welcome to Arukah Counselling and Family Therapy, where your well-being is the priority. As a clinical counsellor and family therapist, I focus on compassion, respect, and consistent support to address your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Whether you're navigating challenges alone, as a couple, or with your family, my aim is simple: to gently accompany you towards healing, recovery, and restoration.

At Arukah Counselling and Family Therapy, my emphasis is on the relationship between counsellor and client. Taking a gentle, holistic approach, my aim is to guide you on a journey that nurtures your spirit, soul, and body. In my counselling practice, I uphold the belief that every individual is valuable and deserving of support. My approach encompasses various techniques, including integrating biblical principles when appropriate, to address all aspects of well-being, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual.

Initially trained as an accountant, I completed my Master's in Accounting and Commerce, and my journey changed when I prioritised raising our children. Amidst the joys of motherhood, I discovered my true calling to counselling and completed my training in Counselling and Family Therapy with AIFC and ACOM, and thus my journey began. I started in Chaplaincy and then moved into college counselling alongside my private business, where I work with individuals across different age groups and backgrounds, as well as couples and young adults. I have had the privilege of working in the Education sector for a decade and of continuing with my private counselling business.

I am passionate about working with couples seeking Christian marriage counselling. I also work with individuals needing counselling, young adults experiencing life transitions and the migrant community experiencing any trauma/grief/adjustment issues from leaving their country to start afresh. I understand being a migrant myself.

I have also enjoyed working with teens and children, as well as offering parent support in school counselling. Issues relating to anxiety, depression, self-harm, school refusals, conflict resolution, mediations, friendships issues, anger management, group work, separation anxiety, suicide ideations, subject selections, self-esteem, psychoeducation, liaising with external agencies and hospitals and risk management plans were part of the work and experience gained. Hence, in addition to working with children and teens, liaising with schools to support the student and the parent is available. Working closely with teachers to support the child was part of the role.

I am currently serving on the board of a not-for-profit here in Perth, which is a privilege and a joy to give back to the community.

Caring for my mum, who was diagnosed with Dementia in 2012, has further shaped my understanding and empathy for the aging population and their families facing their own hardships and griefs. It has also given me a better understanding and appreciation of the role of a caregiver through my own lived experience.

I am passionate about being a Christian Counsellor and seeing how faith informs us as we navigate our lives. Christian Counselling is grounded in scripture, studies the whole person (Spirit, Soul and Body) and is a comprehensive, eclectic approach. I have completed all the necessary training to be an accredited Christian Counsellor. Psalm 23:3 has been pivotal to me on my journey to be a Christian Counsellor. Please visit my website to find more details on how I can help support you towards healing, recovery and restoration.

My credentials include completing the training and requirements for my Clinical Membership with the Christian Counsellors Association of Australia (CCAA) and with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).

As a mental health professional, I deeply value creating a supportive, non-judgmental space for clients to navigate their challenges. You're welcome, whether you're an adult, a couple, a child, a teen, or needing family support. It's my privilege and honour to accompany you on your journey towards healing and the restoration of wholeness for both you and your family.
