Our Team

Robin, a qualified counsellor (MastersCounselling, GraduateDiplomaCounselling, BachelorAppliedScienceHealthEducation) specialises in supporting individuals, couples, and NDIS participants. With extensive experience in couple therapy, particularly around infidelity and betrayal, Robin also specialises in grief and loss counselling.

Adrian brings over two decades of expertise in couple relationship training and support, including pre-marital counselling, relationship strengthening, and conflict resolution, and has broad experience in cross-cultural settings and faith-based organisations. He holds a Post-Graduate Certificate in Counselling, completing MastersCounselling by 2025.

Relationships are at the heart of our well-being. We each are wired for stable connection, and having secure attachments helps us make sense of life and face its challenges with resilience. Whether grieving the loss of a loved one, navigating relationship challenges, or seeking emotional balance, finding our place of belonging is essential. Unspoken questions are core to many emotional struggles: "Do you love me? Are you there for me? Can I trust you?" It’s crucial for those healing from relationship trauma to have a safe, non-judgmental space to confront and resolve those deep wounds. Therapy takes courage, and with strength and determination you can face your unspoken issues and find your way forward.

I can’t recommend Robin enough. Her warm, empathetic approach makes every session feel safe and supportive. She is a great listener and offered me practical tools that have really helped me navigate life’s challenges

Testimonials

Darren

“I can’t thank Robin at Counselling Solution enough for her help, kindness and listening during my darkest time; the passing of my wife after 33yrs. I was diagnosed with deep depression and was really struggling. I joined her grieving group and can honestly say after the first session I could feel a shift in the right direction, and it only strengthened through out her course. I highly recommend her
