My name is Esther Diplock and I am a counsellor and educator in private practice.

I love what I do!

I hold a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (B. Occ. Thy) from the University of Queensland and a Master of Counselling (M Couns) from Christian Heritage College.

Throughout my Occupational Therapy training, I worked as a support worker for people with intellectual and physical disability and in aged care.  As an Occupational Therapist I have worked in both community and government settings, specializing in the disability field.

My Counselling Practice -

Journeying and facilitating
I have been counselling professionally since 2005 and have been a registered Occupational Therapist since 1996.  I have membership with the Christian Counsellors Association of Australia (CCAA) and the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).

I am currently on faculty at Christian Heritage College, lecturing in Counselling, Human Services and Christian Studies.

I have an active faith in the God of the Bible. My Christian faith does influence my practice.  I value and am committed to respecting the values and practices of those with differing beliefs to my own.

I am also committed to  journeying  with people who are seeking to find places of quiet within their lives. I regularly work alongside a Spiritual Director in facilitating spaces for Quiet Reflection. 

I have a love of nature, and spend much of my free time with family and friends.

Oh, and I love to laugh and play!
