About me

My practice
Val Steele is a Clinical Counsellor and Supervisor with Christian Counsellors Association of Australia. As a psychotherapist, Val encourages individuals to grow towards wholeness and to experience freedom from the difficulties of negative life experiences.

Val works with clients who experience stress, depression and anxiety, or are dealing with loss, grief and trauma issues. She integrates Christian faith with professional practice and uses Person Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.

Val is passionate about people and is particularly interested in supporting clients who have experienced domestic violence and childhood abuse and neglect. She has extensive experience in working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and children of refugees. To make her counselling service easier to access, Val offers therapy via video calls.
