About

Donna Cahill

I am a Bachelor qualified Counsellor, registered with the Australian Counselling Association

with additional qualifications in Sandplay Therapy and Symbol Work Therapy and have been

practicing as a Counsellor for 10 years.

I have extensive clinical practice working with individuals, families and children as well as group facilitation.

I also bring additional years and experience from my years practicing in the Welfare and Advocacy sector.

​

I have been assisting people to live their best lives via therapeutic counselling, mental health support,  welfare and advocacy

since 2014 and have had the pleasure of diversifying my work skills through the practice and study of

Participatory Community Development which I hold dear to my heart.

​

Supporting people to explore their challenges with a kind

and curious lens on themselves is one of my greatest reasons for committing to the work that I do.

The work of unraveling the challenges, finding new meaning and insight is a liberating moment for

my clients and that translates into their daily lives and into their relationships. This is what gets me up in the

morning. Knowing that the work I do supports the changes my clients need in their lives.

​

​​My years of working with families, couples, kiddos and individuals from all walks of life has equipped me with

a wide range of skills to suit the needs of a diverse range of clientele. I love to write my own programs

and develop my own resources along the way. With each client bringing their own unique wisdom into

session, my learning increases also.

​

My admiration for each client is genuine and never a day goes by when I don’t recognise the

resilience and courage each client brings to their own personal healing journey.

 

When you work in therapy with me you can be assured that you will be seen as a person, not a label,

a diagnosis, or a problem.

​

 

​

​

Heading into therapy is a significant undertaking and I honor the courage you muster to step into that space. It is worth it!

You are worth it!

​

I look forward to walking beside you.

My interests 

A little about me...outside of the office

I am a Van-lifer wannabe. I enjoy nothing more than packing my old camper van up with a stack of goodies, books, drawing materials and my two border collies and heading out to explore, rest, nap and be creative in the outdoors- rain, hail, or shine. And I LOVE to op-shop! 

When I'm not out vanning, I like to read and watch documentaries.I like to read and watch widely so I'm open to suggestions :-)  feel free to send me your favourites. 

I am a proud mum to two sensational humans - one has left the nest and one is still in the nest. Its a happy balance. Being with my children is always a blessing and a high point for me. I enjoy their unique personalities and the overwhelming love I feel when I am around them.

I am also a proud (and busy) mum to  two dogs. Pet owners will understand my mention of busy!  My two Collies keep me on my toes and make sure I never forget how to use a vacuum. They shed....a lot. 
Being a creative soul I have been upping my skills in recycling old furniture - nothing is safe! I will sand & paint pretty much any lovely old piece (antique lovers block your ears). Oh, and I love to garden. Nothing quite like digging in the yard and seeing the results
