About me

My practice
Hi ! I am Miriam Pius, Clinical Counsellor and Director of M-Power Counselling & Consultancy. M-Power Counselling & Consultancy was born out of my passion for empowering people to find their own pathways to change and equipping them with the tools to achieve fulfilling lives.

I have post - graduate qualifications in Psychology and Counselling. I have been working as a counsellor in Brisbane for over 15 years in a variety of government and non-government settings. I have extensive experience working with veterans and their families, people with disabilities, people re-entering the workforce after an illness or injury, people with chronic pain and immigrants.

I am a clinical member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) and a full member of the Australian Society of Rehabilitation Counselling (ASORC).

I believe you are the expert of your own life and experiences, and my role is to help you find the balance in your life to help you make meaningful values-based changes. I am passionate about using a holistic / bio - psycho – social approach integrating all components of wellness to empower the COMPLETE YOU, to achieve lasting health and wellbeing.

My mission is to help you improve your physical, psychological, social, and emotional wellbeing through EMPOWERMENT; as I firmly believe that you are the artists of your own destiny, and you have the inherent ability to design your own canvas of ’LIFE’.

In addition to my clinical practice, I also provide occupational rehabilitation services which include:
o Vocational Counselling
o Adjustment to disability counselling
o Vocational assessments
o Transferrable skills assessments
o Employability assessments

My passion and areas of expertise, but not limited to, are:
