About Shell
Shell has been a Registered Nurse since 1989, with extensive experience in acute hospital settings, Indigenous health, aged care, dementia care, in Australia and Canada.
Having spent much of her career helping people through illness and recovery, Shell is now transitioning into counselling, where she hopes to support people in a different way by helping them explore their potential, navigate challenges and find their own path forward.
She holds a Bachelor of Psychology and a Bachelor of Justice and is currently completing her Graduate Diploma of Counselling at Torrens University Australia.
Shell believes in hope, the capacity for change and everyone's ability to reach their full potential. She values a person-centred approach, where people feel heard, respected and supported in discovering their own strengths and possibilities.
