About the Registered Counsellor in Perth
Tinashe brings a holistic, compassion focused and calm approach to practice incorporating a trauma-informed care, a variety of therapeutic and mentoring strategies. As a registered counsellor in Perth, I enable clients to find a different perspective to approach life and find calmness in the midst of storms of everyday life. Tinashe received a master’s in counselling qualification in 2023, currently a Level 2 member of the Australian Counselling Association (Member # 22236) and is currently based in Landsdale, Perth. Since 2008, when she left an abusive relationship, Tinashe has been blessed with opportunities to meet people experiencing different forms of family and domestic violence and abuse. In listening to people share their stories from her lived experience skills she has mentored and supported both men and women to pursue better lives after heartache. In 2018, Tinashe published her first book “Greener Pastures Beyond Mt.Abuse” to share her story of abuse to help others. In pursuing her master’s qualification, she wanted to ensure that she was qualified and competent to talk to people from all walks of life and backgrounds and most importantly that she was ethical and accountable in her practice. Her first love has been helping people affected with family and domestic violence and abuse. Tinashe, is also a lived experience advocate to organisations in the FDV sector, working with Ruah since 2019 till date.
She also sits on Western Australia’s Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Reference Group.
Since 2024, she chairs the Advisory Group for Family and Domestic Violence in Refugee Communities in WA under Centre for Women’s Safety and Wellbeing.
In 2024, she also became part of A Family and Domestic Violence Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG) that has been established to centre the voices of victim-survivors in policy development and service design. https://www.wa.gov.au/organisation/department-of-communities/lived-experience-advisory-group
