I am Miriam Pius, Clinical Counsellor and Director of M-Power Counselling & Consultancy. M-Power Counselling & Consultancy was born out of my passion for empowering people to find their own pathways to change and equipping them with the tools to achieve fulfilling lives. I have post - graduate qualifications in Psychology and Counselling and I have worked as a counsellor in Brisbane for over 15 years in a variety of government and non-government settings. I have extensive experience working with veterans and their families, people with disabilities, people re-entering the workforce after an illness or injury, people with chronic pain and immigrants. I am a clinical member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) and a full member of the Australian Society of Rehabilitation Counselling (ASORC). I approach therapy, as a collaborative process and I draw on a number of therapeutic approaches including: Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Solution – Focussed Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) therapies. Using a “mind – body holistic / bio – psycho - social approach” my goal is to help you create a healthy and happy life. In my work with you I also utilise a combination of creative and complimentary approaches such as - Mindfulness, Meditation, Art, Yoga, Animals and Horticulture to help you find wholeness, balance and well – being. I consider it my privilege to support you on your pathway to wellbeing and wholeness. I am registered with WorkCover Queensland, and I can provide counselling services to support you if you have had a work-related injury.
