About Us

Michele Stewart , Clare Stapleton, and Yasmine Wahab bring together a collective depth and breadth to the Valhalla Counselling Practice.

We have special areas of interest and skills developed over years of experience in a variety of settings, counselling people from a diverse range of ages and back grounds. This includes counselling people from a wide array of cultural backgrounds.

We aim for more than symptom relief. We hope to facilitate meaningful change in our client’s lives. To support this we encourage our clients to draw on a wide range of complementary health services where appropriate. These include:

Valhalla Counselling Practice has a close association with The Institute for Emotionally Focused Therapy, an accredited training institution that provides post-graduate training in counselling and therapy. Read more about Emotionally Focused Therapy.

All practitioners working at Valhalla are registered with their professional associations. This binds them to a strict code of ethical practice.

Michele, Clare and Yasmine all conduct their own private practices out of Valhalla Counselling Practice and set their own fees based on the recommendations of their professional associations. Professional fees can be discussed on enquiry.

Some private health funds will offer rebates capped at a fixed amount per calendar year. The Australian Government has also introduced Medicare rebated items for treatment by registered psychologists and social workers. This requires a referral form from your G.P.

Concessions are also available in specific circumstances. These would need to be discussed with the individual practioner.
