Spiritual Director
Dip. Theology; Member ANSD (Aust Network for Spiritual Direction); Member Ecumenical Spiritual Directors Association of SA
Mark brings a wealth of life and Christian ministry experience to his role as Spiritual Director, including many years of talking about Christian spirituality in the context of religious education in government (and non-government) schools through theatre and story-telling. More recently he spent a number of years living and working in a remote Aboriginal community in the western desert region. As well as offering spiritual direction, he and his wife live as house parents in a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program at Tumbelin Farm in the Adelaide Hills.
He has a long-term interest in contemplative prayer practices, and is extremely interested in the ways in which human beings experience God as active and meaningful in their lives. As a practice of stopping to pay attention, spiritual direction can be a very fruitful aid in helping us to notice God’s activity and therefore to developing our sense of God with us in the midst of all the present realities of our unique existence. Mark aims to create a sense of sacred space where those present realities can be purposefully explored and the traces of God that are discerned there attended to.
Mark graduated from the Spiritual Direction formation program at Tabor College, Adelaide with a Diploma of Theology in 2021 and is a member of the Ecumenical Spiritual Directors Association of SA and the Australian Network of Spiritual Directors.
He is bound by the Australian Ecumenical Council for Spiritual Direction’s Code of Ethics for Spiritual Directors. This can be viewed at http://spiritualdirection.org.au/resources/code-of-ethics/

Counsellor and Psychotherapist
Dip Counselling & Communication, Bachelor of Behavioural Science, Master of Counselling & Psychotherapy. Member of Australian Counselling Association (#28269). A.B.N. 98 970 129 699.
As a graduate of Counselling and Psychotherapy, I offer clients an extensive theoretical knowledge of Counselling and Psychology, along with practical experience in supporting young Indigenous children in residential support, family carers and school chaplaincy. I furthered my education in Philosophy and Family History. Previous roles were held with Carers SA, Schools Ministry Group and Carers and Disability Link. These organisations offered opportunities in Family Carer Advocacy, supporting young people in school, practical support and advocacy with NDIS Disability clients of all ages. I was privileged to engage with positive connections of State and Federal Government to advocate for young people.
Using a Person-Centred approach, I invite clients to share their stories and collaborate with me to reveal what the presenting issues are. I trained in Trauma-Informed and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as well as Systemic Family Therapy used in Couples Counselling. Mindful of the significance of links between childhood trauma and its effect on the here and now, I partner with my clients to explore the most effective approach to promote clarity and find holistic ways for positive change.
I have a keen interest in Personality Psychology and a Strengths-based approach. Utilising these interventions in the counselling space creates opportunities for clients to discover their “inner self” and may assist in creating positive change, enhance relationship issues and clarity around personal motivation and responses in everyday life. Supporting young people in a public-school setting, I am discovering a theme of fractured relationships in families, that is contributing to young people’s daily stress. Working with families to assist with open communication and focusing on solutions is an area I am continuing to expand in. My experience also includes coordinating services and supporting disability clients with NDIS plans and working alongside young people with NDIS funding in school and home settings.

Counsellor
BASS (Couns); Cert IV Pastoral Care
Member Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA)
Hi there. My name is Rachel, and I am a compassionate, down-to-earth counsellor who considers it a great privilege to listen to people’s stories and support them as they seek to overcome challenges and move towards a more meaningful life. I work from a person-centred perspective, favouring an integrative approach, which seeks to tailor therapeutic approaches to the needs of each individual client. I also work from a psychodynamic perspective, recognising that our past can shape our present in significant ways. My work is underpinned by trauma-informed principles.
As a former pastoral care worker and in my current role as a counsellor with Lifewell Hills, I have supported clients with a broad range of issues, including anxiety, depression, self-harm and relationship challenges. I have extensive experience working with people affected by grief and loss.
My areas of interest also include issues involving coercive control. Coercive control can be present in the form of domestic violence relationships, cultic groups (both religious and non-religious) and toxic, controlling workplaces. I am passionate about helping people affected by these issues to find healing and freedom.
I understand that deciding to seek counselling can be a difficult step, but it is brave one. There is so much that can be gained from telling your story in a safe, supportive environment. Feel free to contact me and make an appointment. I would love to hear from you.
