Meet Mrs. Dee Kumbukage: Your Experienced Corio Counsellor
Hi, I'm Dee, Principal Counsellor and co-founder of Bo Tree Counselling. My journey to becoming a counsellor was shaped by real-life challenges – from business ventures to navigating complex personal relationships. These experiences instilled in me the profound belief that self-understanding and compassionate connection are the keys to healing and growth.
My approach is rooted in principles of loving-kindness, compassion, and equanimity, blended with practical strategies like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I understand that real change takes aspiration and effort, not perfection. If you're seeking to shift something in your life or relationships, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Warmly, Mrs. Dee Kumbukage
