Josi Mannella

Counsellor

I am a PACFA and ACA registered professional counsellor. I am passionate about enabling people to live fulfilling lives through providing them with counselling sessions tailored for them. The sessions are founded in a client-centred approach and charged with teaching life skills, coping mechanisms, self-reflection and psychoeducation. I am trained in integrative therapy composing of cognitive behaviour therapy, trauma informed counselling, solution-focused counselling, positive psychology techniques, grief and loss counselling among other therapies and techniques. I have a Bachelor of Counselling from ACAP and a Master of Counselling with ECU. With a strong background in palliative care and geriatric counselling, I have learned the importance of helping people in a holistic approach to achieve self-fulfillment through their life journey. I have a small private practice that helps enhance my skills in areas such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. In recent years, I have been counselling women who have experienced post-abortion issues and joined them on their life journey to recovery. It has enhanced my desire to support and empower women to grow in their own self-discovering journey. I have expanded into working with vulnerable people and helping empower them into improving their daily lives through solution focused counselling and goal setting. I am enthusiastic about ongoing professional learning and supervision that will enhance my skills and knowledge to become a more effective and efficient counsellor.
