Jill Sumrall
Counsellor
Qualifications:
- Diploma of Counselling
- Mental Health IV
- Advanced Cert in Community Service
- Level II Faster EFT (Emotional Focused Transformation)
Experience:
I have 20 years of wide-ranging experience in improving mental and physical health; (11 years working with schizophrenia, bipolar, personality disorders), asylum seekers, addiction, depression and more. I serve as a guide for people seeking deeper self-understanding and finding their purpose in life.
I specialise in grief and loss, and trauma-informed therapies believing that unresolved
childhood trauma plays a huge role in creating the restricting/self-sabotaging symptoms in adulthood; I use a blend of therapies including but not limited to Tapping, Talk Therapy, CBT, Gratitude & Breath meditations and connecting people back to nature with Ocean and Forest therapies, letting go of practices that don’t serve us and leaving space for new experiences.
