Cecilia holds a Master of Counselling (Advanced) awarded by Swinburne University of Technology. She believes that individuals exist in systems which support, build or sometimes hurt - which is where she hopes to provide support and help in. Her warm and affable nature allows the therapeutic relationship with her clients to form swiftly for therapy to begin.
Her approach is integrative; largely depending on the personality of her clients and nature of their situations. She works on helping and empowering her clients in areas where they can effect personal change in order to influence or alter their situations.
As an adoptive parent, she has been giving talks, facilitating support groups and journeying with other adoptive families since 2008. She also has self-published a book titled “We Just Want You to Know”, to facilitate adoption disclosure and involved in several publications such as “Our Very Own” and “Our Very Own 2” - on the same topic. Since 2013 she has journeyed with birth families as well.
