Kerryn Coombe

Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, Neurofeedback / Neurotherapy Practitioner, Buddhist Psychotherapist.

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a Masters of Social Work, and over three decades of experience in nursing. I am also a Neurofeedback /Neurotherapy Practitioner.

I have a strong background Mental Health, Chronic Disease, Chronic illness, Family Violence, and Refugee Health. I have worked in Rural Victoria, the Northern Territory and Melbourne. I provide counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples.

My special interest is in helping people who are experiencing chronic pain and illness. Memberships include Chronic Illness Alliance, the International Association for the Study of Pain, and Chronic Pain Australia.

I am a member of the Mental Health Professional Network and the coordinator for the MPHN meetings for the Belgrave region. I am an advocate of collaborative working relationships between health care professionals in the field of counselling. We welcome new members from all disciplines.

I am also a member of the Australian Association of Buddhist Counsellors and Psychotherapists, a PACFA member association. I offer authentic Buddhist Psychotherapy and counselling for those interested in this modality of therapy. Over the past thirty years there has been increasing evidence of the benefits of Buddhist-influenced therapies such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Common to these therapies is the use of meditation, stress reduction and the development of mindfulness and insight. I have taught and practiced meditation and mindfulness practices for over 27 years specifically for people living with chronic pain and disease and in 2014 completed Breathworks teacher training with Breathworks UK.
