About Us

Hi, I’m Chris

OWNER |. COUNSELLOR
HOPE SPRINGS COUNSELLING SERVICE

There was a time in my life when I felt emotionally exhausted - stuck in patterns that left me questioning whether my needs really mattered. Reaching out for support became a turning point. In therapy, I experienced what it was like to be truly seen and understood. With the right guidance, I reconnected with myself, learned to honour my needs, and discovered how real, lasting connection doesn’t require self-abandonment.

That personal journey inspired me to help others who feel unseen in their relationships. Today, I work with individuals and couples who long for change—supporting them to rebuild trust, restore emotional safety, and nurture closeness that feels genuine.

Alongside my lived experiences, I bring a strong professional foundation. My passion for counselling led me to complete a Diploma of Counselling, followed by a degree in Psychology/Counselling and a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Over the years, I’ve worked in counselling and community settings, and continue to draw on both theory and practical experience to guide my clients with care and compassion.

Having lived and worked across England, South Africa, Botswana, and Australia, I value diversity and hold deep respect for different cultural backgrounds, faiths, and identities. As a mother and grandmother, I’m also passionate about supporting parents of young children and adolescents, and have facilitated parenting programs through the Australian Childhood Foundation.

Now, my focus is on relationships and connection—helping people feel heard, understood, and supported in creating the changes they hope for.
