Ufirst Vision ForEffective Counselling
Welcome to UFirst Counselling, where empowering individuals to embrace their true potential is at the heart of everything we do. As a dedicated mental health counsellor, I leverage a person-centred, strengths-based approach alongside evidence-based techniques such as Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients navigate life’s challenges with resilience and grace.
In our sessions, we focus on fostering clear and assertive communication, essential for breaking through barriers and addressing cognitive distortions that may hinder personal growth. By working together, we aim to dismantle negative thought patterns and replace them with empowering beliefs that pave the way for a more positive and fulfilling life.
I believe in a future where each individual can unlock their inner strength and achieve their goals, guided by a supportive and non-judgmental environment. Whether you’re seeking to enhance self-esteem, manage stress, or overcome obstacles, I’m here to assist you on your journey towards personal growth and well-being.
Let’s collaborate to build a brighter future where you thrive and embrace your true potential. Together, we can create positive change and empower you to lead a more fulfilling life. Reach out today and take the first step towards a better tomorrow.
Olga Tinilau
Hello, I’m Olga! As a compassionate mental health counsellor and a dedicated mum of four, I bring a wealth of life experience and a deep passion for helping others. Born in Spain and raised in Australia, my diverse background enriches my understanding of various cultures and perspectives.
My journey began with a rewarding 30-year career in hairdressing, where I developed a profound understanding of people and a passion for helping others. This experience inspired me to pursue higher education, leading to my Bachelor of Counselling degree from Griffith University. During my studies, I worked in mental health support roles, gaining invaluable experience with complex mental health clients and honing my communication skills and psychological flexibility.
My cross-cultural communication skills ensure every client feels understood and respected. I use a variety of evidence-based therapies within a person-centered, strength-based framework. I work in a manner that is friendly, non-judgmental, and collaborative.
Fluent in both English and Spanish, I am committed to making my services inclusive and accessible to all, proudly supporting LGBTQIA+ and First Nations people. My empathetic nature, combined with extensive training, allows me to provide personalised and effective counselling to individuals from diverse backgrounds.
These experiences have shaped me into a dedicated counsellor, committed to creating a warm and welcoming environment. I strive to ensure individuals feel safe and comfortable sharing their deepest fears and concerns, knowing they will be met with empathy and understanding. I am affiliated with PACFA, working to uphold the highest professional standards in my field.
I wish you all the best on your mental health journey!
