Change is Possible

 Our Story

Well its been a whirlwind of an adventure so far. After completely changing careers after finding purpose and meaning in helping others through Telephone Counselling, the learning just hasn't stopped. Learning through formal education and life experience has allowed me to develop my listening, responding and counselling skills with a mix of intuitive insights and evidence based practice.

After recently moving down to the beautiful Far South Coast, the time and opportunity has come to open up my own practice and put all my experience to good use. My practice will be trauma-informed with a particular interest in addictions including Drug and Alcohol issues.

About Catherine

Hi, my name is Catherine Dineen. I started working for a National Suicide Prevention Crisis service in  2010 as a volunteer, later on becoming a supervisor and then a team leader.


It wasn't long before I realised the difference being there for people in distress makes. It's so important to have someone available to listen, validate and support you through times of crisis and change. 


I learnt how best to connect and support people from all walks of life, with all sorts of needs. 


This was the beginning of my formal education. By 2011 I had earned a Certificate IV in Telephone Counselling.


In 2015, I completed a Diploma of Community Services specialising in Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) and Mental Health Issues. This gave me a much deeper understanding of addiction issues and how intertwined and connected to past trauma they can be.

 

I have continued learning and completed my Diploma of Counselling which has opened up the opportunity  to help others in a face to face environment. 


Working from a trauma-informed approach, great care is taken to respect your boundaries and concentrate on what you want to get out of your counselling experience.


I look forward to being able to support the community, so that we can all live life in the best possible way.
