Mrs Lorena Diaz Codina Counsellor

My work is centred on supporting people to feel more confident, understood, and connected to themselves. I migrated to Australia permanently in 2017 and, like many of the people I now support, I navigated the real challenges of building a new life in a new country, finding my footing, adapting to a different culture, and discovering my own resilience along the way. That lived experience shapes everything I do. My professional journey has taken me through settlement services, disability support, employment services, community mental health, and wellbeing program delivery, giving me the privilege of walking alongside people from many different backgrounds, including migrants, refugees, and individuals navigating some of life's most challenging chapters. These experiences have taught me that wellbeing is deeply personal, but it is also shaped by the world around us, our culture, family, relationships, work, and the support we have access to. Through MindTune Collective, I bring together my knowledge, lived experience, and professional practice to offer support that feels practical, human, and meaningful.
