I’m presenting a FREE Mental Health and Depression Workshop in Pakenham on 26th May.
This workshop is for anyone who is living with depression, struggling with mental health, or simply wanting some practical guidance and support.
Together, we’ll explore helpful tips and suggestions that can support you in living a better, more manageable life while dealing with depression and mental health challenges.
My hope is that people walk away feeling a little more informed, encouraged, and supported.
If this sounds like something that could help you, or someone you know, I’d love for you to come along.
FREE workshop

Happy Easter Sunday to you. Here are some things to do with the kids during the holidays in nature!

There’s something powerful about coming together with people who truly understand the work you do.

Connecting with fellow counsellors across regional Victoria reminds me that none of us are doing this alone. In the quiet spaces, the small towns, and the communities often overlooked, there’s a shared commitment to showing up, listening deeply, and making a difference where it’s needed most.

These connections matter. They strengthen us, support us, and ultimately allow us to better support others.

Because when we collaborate, share knowledge, and lift each other up, we expand what’s possible for mental health care in remote areas. More access. More understanding. More lives impacted in meaningful ways.

To meet Anika Ahmad Bull | Therapist | Anxiety & Grief Support who has presented to our National Regional and Rural monthly Professional Development sessions with our registering body AUS Counselling Association was a beautiful way to spend an Easter Saturday afternoon after having the best visit with Mel Melisa Sincock- counselling for rural based men and women

Grateful to be part of a community that cares so deeply.

Everyone has dreams. Few have daily action plans.

Jim Rohn's approach: identify the essential daily actions that compound toward your vision. Not twenty things. The critical few.

This Easter, I’ve been reflecting on a piece I recently brought into the MC Counselling space from the Deniliquin Easter Art Show “Stairway to the Moon.”

There’s something quietly powerful about it. A sense of movement, of ascent, of hope — even when the path isn’t fully clear. It feels like a reminder that healing, growth, and understanding often happen step by step, not all at once.

At MC Counselling, Easter is a time that resonates with themes of renewal, reflection, and the possibility of new beginnings. Just like the stairway in the artwork, each person’s journey is unique — sometimes steady, sometimes uncertain — but always moving forward.

Wherever you find yourself this Easter, may you feel a sense of hope, direction, and gentle progress on your own path.

Warm wishes,
Mike Mike Carroll Counsellor & Therapist

Six years of MC Counselling 💛

Today marks our 6th birthday, and we’re taking a moment to reflect on the journey so far. What began as an idea has grown into a space of support, understanding, and positive change for so many people.

We want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. To our clients who have trusted us, to those who have shared their stories, and to everyone who has supported and encouraged us along the way — we are truly grateful.

Your support over the past six years means everything, and it’s what allows us to keep doing the work we care so deeply about.

Here’s to continuing to grow, support, and make a difference together.

I love this woman and what she represents. Check out Marissa Peer

The most powerful words in your life are the ones you say to yourself - so choose them carefully.

When you change your words, you begin to change the direction of your life.

So start this week with better language:
“I can handle this.”
“I am capable.”
“I am moving forward.”

Start speaking to yourself with belief because the conversation you have in your mind is the one that shapes your life. 💛

Comment ENOUGH and I will send you my free audio meditation and experience a tremendous sense of self-esteem, self-belief, and self-confidence. 🎧

More women are choosing to fight fire with FFMVic — and they’re bringing skill, leadership and grit to every part of the job.

From the end of a drip torch, to swinging a rake‑hoe, operating a first‑attack dozer, and leading incident management teams — you do it all.

But it’s not new.
Women have been protecting Victoria’s forests and communities for decades.

Because, fire has never been about gender, it’s about what you bring.

To all the women in FFMVic, and across the emergency management sector — thank you, we are stronger together.

Today, we celebrate the strength, courage, and compassion of women everywhere — and the incredible power that comes from supporting one another. 💜

At MC Counselling, we believe that every woman deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued — not just today, but every day. This International Women’s Day 2026, we honour the women who lift others up, break barriers, and choose healing and growth, even when it’s hard.

✨ This year’s message:
Empowerment begins with self-care. Healing is strength. Asking for support is courage.

Let’s continue to create spaces where women can share their stories, care for their mental health, and thrive — together.

With compassion,
MC Counselling 💫

Studying Personal Development in 2013 changed my life. Jim Rohn was a big part of Personal Development. If you are looking to change your life, check out Jim’s work (many videos on YouTube) and/or make contact with MC Counselling today.

"For things to change, you have to change. For things to get better, you have to get better." — Jim Rohn

This might be the most important thing Jim ever said.

For things to change — your finances, your health, your relationships — YOU have to change.

That's not a burden. That's a gift. The solution is always within reach. You just have to decide: I will get better.
