  PERSONAL INFORMATION & ARTICLES - Robin Steele PhD

I have over thirty years of experience as a mother, teacher, educator and counsellor/psychotherapist working with people of all ages. For 21 years I worked as an early childhood director and teacher in the Yarra Valley area; as a supervisor of teacher trainees, and for many years in the 1990's as a counsellor/psychotherapist at the Melbourne Therapy & Medical Centre, and at the Clayton Whole Health and Medical Clinic, as well as in private practice.

Alongside the counselling, I was also working for several years as a college coordinator, teacher and supervisor of Philophonetics-Counselling, in the Advanced Diploma training courses at Persephone College in Melbourne; as well as doing casual work in a number of welfare organisations.

I have three grown up children and three grandchildren.

  

I am currently in private practice in the Dandenongs, teach on a casual basis and am available as a supervisor for professional counsellors & trainee counsellors, specialising in developing the ongoing and advanced skills of Philophonetics/Psychophonetics.

 

Professional Memberships

  • Society of Counselling & Psychotherapy Educators (SCAPE)
  • Australian Anthroposophic Medicine Association (AAMA)
  • International Association of Psychophonetics Practitioners (IAPP)
  • Psychotherapy & Counselling Association of WA (PACAWA) until September 2006, when I moved back to Melbourne from WA

  
My particular interests include   a deeper understanding of how we can encourage each other in the processes of change and development, on all levels of our life, and participating in developing the creative and spiritual potential of a relationship-centred culture based on healing ourselves, our relationships and our community. I enjoy gardening, walking, music, dancing and socialising with family and friends.

 

RESEARCH: In 2005 I completed a PhD research thesis which focused on the holistic nature of change and transformation through psychophonetics psychotherapy.    ABSTRACT
