My name is Danielle Politi. I’m a non-aboriginal woman, born and raised in Kulin nation and living in Wurundjeri Country. I am a certified counsellor and trauma expert!
My journey in counselling started from my trauma from a young age. I think this set off a fire in my heart, leading me to be passionate about empowering others and growing through pain.
I’m passionate about my work and am always ready to sit with you and go through the journey together. My purpose is to facilitate a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the issues and inner strengths.
Accreditations
Graduate Diploma of Counselling.
Registered member of the Australian Counselling Association.
Counselling Style- I studied counselling to gain an insight into how wonderfully complex the mind and body are. From this, I did not want to be another counsellor who cannot relate or “goes by the book”. With that being said, I am a person-centred counsellor who uses a trauma-informed approach.
Counsellor self-care – Self-care for me is in, around or on the water, lake or ocean. Or, on those days when I can’t go out, a simple candlelit bath with salts while Binge watching Netflix.
