About Andrea
Hello, I'm Andrea Walmsley, a qualified counsellor dedicated to supporting individuals and couples through life's challenges. With over thirty-five years of experience as a mother, a wife, and a caregiver, I understand the complexities of relationships and the impact of life's transitions.
As a mother and a wife, I've navigated the joys and trials of family life, including the unique dynamics of being married to a FIFO worker. I've also experienced the heartache of watching a parent suffer from dementia, teaching me the importance of compassion and understanding in caregiving.
My journey to becoming a counsellor began after a 35 year career as a teacher. I felt a strong calling to transition into counselling, seeking to make a different kind of impact on people's lives. My approach is grounded in empathy and understanding, helping clients explore their experiences and rediscover their sense of self-worth.
I offer counselling to adults, both individually and as couples, as well as adolescents from fifteen years and up. My motto, "your life, your way," reflects my commitment to empowering clients to make positive changes aligned with their values and desires.
Whether you're struggling with feeling stuck, or with anxiety, overwhelm, stress, grief, relationship issues, or other personal challenges, I am here to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings together.
Take the first step towards positive change and contact me today to schedule a session.
I am looking forward to meeting you.
Andrea
