About me
My Story

Emmelyn studied biblical counselling and theology at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, USA under professors such as Ed Welch and David Powlison of the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation (CCEF). She also served at CCEF as a counseling intern prior to returning home to Sydney.

My Philosophy

As a biblical counsellor, Emmelyn is a Christian who believes that God has revealed himself to the world through his son Jesus Christ, and speaks to us through the Bible. She subscribes to the doctrinal basis of Biblical Counseling Australia (here).
Emmelyn considers it a privilege to walk alongside people as they are facing difficult situations. She is passionate about seeing the Bible come to life as the source of hope, healing and change in their lives.
Emmelyn's areas of counselling interest include:
-
Relationship, couples and premarital counselling
-
Trauma
-
Grief and loss
-
Anxiety
-
Relational issues
-
Ministry stress and issues

"I am very thankful for the counselling I received from Emmelyn. She helped me work through deeply personal issues that I never imagined revealing to anyone. "
