Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less

— Marie Curie

MS JOELLE COMPTON

I have travelled for many years, worked hard, cooked, loved, studied, danced, and everything in between. I have also suffered, struggled, been heartbroken, and put in the hard yards to build a more fulfilling life. My passion is understanding people, and helping people find new pathways to reach their potential.

I have worked as a coach and trainer for the National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA) training people in various skills including confidence, self-expression, self awareness, vocal skills, voice and body connection, and emotional strength. I have coached professionals and beginners to learn new skills and hone existing skills.

I have studied with the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors and Queensland University of Technology. I am a member of the Australian Counselling Association and I have worked as a Nationally Accredited Mediator. I am a skilled coach, counsellor and mediator, having helped a variety of people resolve issues in their personal lives and work lives to find a pathway forward. I also have a strong understanding of abusive backgrounds and I have worked in advocacy roles for survivors of domestic violence.

I believe in each person’s capacity to change, grow and rise to the challenges life puts ahead of them. I believe that every person has a story that deserves to be heard, no matter how big or small.

I take a holistic approach to group training, and can incorporate the following methodologies:

  • Facilitating group discussion

  • Confronting difficult issues

  • Confidence training

  • Vocal technique

  • Mindfulness and meditation

  • Action Based Learning

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

  • Narrative Learning Techniques

  • Solution Focused Therapy

  • Active Learning Methodologies

  • Life planning and goal setting frameworks

  • Time management and organisation skills

These are some of the techniques I am able to include if relevant. All courses are able to be tailored to participants needs.

I also offer one-on-one appointments for coaching, for more details visit transformational-coaching-counselling.com.au
