TLP Counselling

My name is Trish Paterson. I have 26 years+ nursing experience and my Diploma of Counselling. Through my nursing I have had a vast amount of experience dealing with and supporting families and patients going through grief and loss, as well as guiding student nurses through this time. I have successfully managed persons going through conflict and empowered them to move towards a resolution. I have

had experience working in the drug and alcohol clinic, and was able to use my own life experience to formulate a better understanding of my clients, but also, became aware there was a deficit in the support available for families trying to support their loved ones. I have been involved with horses my entire life and have two of my own, and am acutely aware of the impact it has on us when our beloved horse passes away. I not only offer support after your pet has passed away but can also accompany you on the day the decision has to be made. To consolidate my years of knowledge and learning, I accomplished my Diploma of Counselling with the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors.
