Who i am

  My name is Ofunneka,  I consider myself an outgoing, fun-loving individual, who loves to spend time with family and friends. I consider myself a passionate advocate for social justice and a voice for the marginalized and vulnerable. I love working with young children and young adults because they provide a platform for me to share my experience, but also to learn from them in this modern age of technology. I love cooking, going on long walks, Zumba and I love to sew. I also love working with adults of all gender navigating changes in their lives such as relationship breakdown, transitioning into new jobs, reentering the work force. Given my own lived experiences I believe I am well suited to connect with my clients and build the therapeutic relationship which is key in their healing journey. 

Being part of the CALD community, I believe in a fair go for everyone. Also, being a parent, I understand the importance of Replenishing, Retreating and Reviving from that life. I call these my three Rs and live by them and I am willing to share with fellow parents and like-minded individuals who need the three Rs in their lives.

I have a Bachelor in psychology (Honours), and a diploma in counselling with Advanced Majors in Child Development and Effective Parenting; Abuse Counselling; Relationship Counselling and Conflict Resolution. I am also a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA member no.: 1636). I am CBT trained and an accredited provider of Cool Kids - Anxiety Mangement program targeted at pre-school aged children, primary and high schoolers. 

 C3N2 stands for Counselling Children and Communities with Non-Judgemental Nurturance. This is what I stand by and will strive to achieve on our journey together.  

 I believe all my clients have what it takes to succeed and are experts of their own lives. Therefore, my role is to help you believe this too.Give yourself the chance to soar.
