Michael is a university qualified counsellor, with specialisations in addiction and men’s mental

themselves in.
In his downtime you will find Michael working and tinkering on old Land Rovers in his workshop. He

camping in the Victorian High Country, particularly during the winter months.

Sheree Breaden

Counselling is about assisting people to be the best version of themselves they can be. In counselling, problems are addressed in a positive, client-focused setting, issues are clarified, options are explored and strategies are developed.  We provide our clients with the space to freely discuss life’s events from everyday life, grief, relationship breakdowns, marriage woes, bullying, and stress through to a plethora of psychological and mental issues. Sometimes, just chatting in a safe place to a completely objective person in total confidentiality, together building the strength and stepping stones to resolution, can make all the difference.  Couples counselling is also available. Our counsellor, Sheree Breaden, has received a degree in counselling and is currently studying her Masters Degree in Psychotherapy.
