Hi, my name is Stephen. I am the owner and founder of Inner Strength Counselling, Sydney. I am a trained psychotherapist and trauma counsellor with a Masters Degree in Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy from the reputable Jansen Newman Institute (JNI). As well as attaining my degree in a philanthropic field that I am passionate about (that of offering professional support and help to others), my studies have enabled me to form an in-depth understanding of myself and my life experiences thus far.

Some of these experiences revolve around my own personal history and repression with trauma and loss. Through establishing a trusting and empathetic bond with the right counsellor in a safe environment, I was able to face and work through painful memories and feelings. I was able to heal and grow in time.

Now I want to help others come to terms with their pain and trauma. I bring with me compassion, empathy, understanding and most importantly, a listening ear. Taking the first step and reaching out is not always easy, it will require courage and commitment, but together we can explore and work through the issues that are holding you back in your life.
