HI my name is Steven, and I am the founder of Inner Compass Counselling. The idea of Inner Compass Counselling arose from the Medicine Wheel, sometimes known as the Sacred Hoop, that has had been used by generations of traditional and Indigenous cultures for health and healing. The wheel serves as a powerful symbol and tool for aiding healing by promoting a holistic perspective (considering the individual as a whole person, taking into account their physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual well-being), acknowledging the cyclical nature of healing, fostering balance and harmony, recognizing interconnected support systems, and facilitating integration and wholeness. By Incorporating the metaphor of the wheel into the healing process Steven can support individuals with a framework for understanding their journey and navigating towards greater well-being and fulfillment.
Like a wheel, the healing process often follows a cyclical pattern of ups and downs. There may be times of progress and breakthroughs, as well as periods of challenges and setbacks as demonstrated in Steven’s healing Life. Steven has had a history of mental health challenges, trauma and setbacks and this has benefited Steven as a Counsellor with the tools, insight and compassion necessary to help others. Steven has obtained a Masters in counselling from Monash University and has had over 15 years’ experience in Counselling Individuals, (children, adolescents and adults) Couples and families whilst working for various organizations
