The Ian Parkin Story
Ever since I was a teenager, I have been fascinated with the mind and how our emotions affect our lives, which led me on a journey of personal discovery. My first career was as a professional engineer, and after four previous careers in my life, my journey has led me to my current engagement with emotion-focused therapy. Here, I seek to help people as a clinical counsellor with over 24 years of experience.
My qualifications include a Masters in Counselling and post graduate studies in Emotion Focused Therapy and Relationships Counselling. I am a clinical supervisor for other counsellors and registered with both the Christian Counsellors Association of Australia (CCAA) and Psychotherapist and Counsellors Federation of Australia (PACFA)
