Founder of Five Sparrows Wellbeing
Meet Chantel
Hello, I'm Chantel, founder of Five Sparrows Wellbeing.
I know reaching out for counselling isn't always easy. Whether you're facing anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, grief, chronic illness or simply feeling overwhelmed, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood and supported.
I believe every person's story matters. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, I take the time to understand your experiences, strengths and goals so we can work together towards meaningful and lasting change.
Why I Became a Counsellor
I became a counsellor because I believe no one should have to navigate life's challenges alone. It is a privilege to walk alongside people as they rediscover hope, build resilience and take confident steps towards a healthier future.
Qualifications & Experience
Advanced Diploma of Counselling
Registered Australian Counselling Association (ACA) Counsellor
More than 10 years supporting young people, individuals and families
Three years in private counselling practice
Australia-wide counselling via secure phone and video sessions
What You Can Expect
My approach is warm, collaborative and practical. Together we'll explore what's bringing you to counselling, identify what matters most to you and develop strategies that support lasting emotional wellbeing. For clients who wish, I also welcome faith-informed conversations as part of the counselling process, while ensuring every person feels respected, accepted and supported.
If you're looking for a counsellor who will listen with compassion, encourage you with care and walk alongside you through life's challenges, I'd be honoured to support you.
