🌿 Welcome Jannette Sakkouri Holistic Counselling
My name is Jannette. I am a counsellor that works with individuals, couples and families. I take a person-centred, strength-based approach to meet the needs of individual clients. I use various modalities including Sandplay in a creative way.
My experience in human services work began in my early 20s. I took on many different roles from volunteering to advocacy.
My professional career and my first paid job began at a women’s refuge where I worked with women & children escaping domestic violence. I advocated on behalf of clients and helped them to feel safe in the refuge. Later I helped clients find accommodation, supporting them in court and helping them recover their self-esteem. Ultimately my role was to help them overcome their challenges, fears and sense of helplessness and to move into a state of empowerment.
I have also worked extensively in the field of disability support services. In this work I had a person-centred approach and assisted clients in meeting their goals. I also support them with medical issues and in their personal and social lives.
These work positions required me to be empathic, understanding, adaptable, open-minded and able to meet people ‘where they are at’ in their lives. I did this through building rapport, communication skills and using a creative approach realising there are always possibilities. This was very rewarding as I saw people achieving their goals.
As my passion for helping people and giving them hope grew I continued to further develop my career by acquiring many skills & qualifications. I started with a Diploma in Community Welfare, a Certificate IV in Drug and Alcohol and Certificate IV in Disability Work. Later I undertook various courses in trauma- informed practices and Mental Health First Aid Certificates. I graduated with a Diploma of Counselling in 2014 & later a Graduate Diploma in Relationship Counselling in 2017. In addition, I undertook Sandplay Therapy Practitioner and Sandplay Master Practitioner to add to my collection of skills.
I am registered as a clinical counsellor with PACFA Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia.
