About me
Supporting Mental Health, Growth and Wellness with Expertise and Empathy
Hi, I’m Stella, a dedicated mental health practitioner with over 18 years of experience. I’m passionate about helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys, having worked in diverse settings across Australia, the South Pacific, and Europe. Through these experiences, I’ve honed my skills in psychotherapy, coaching, supervision, and program management. At KOMT, my mission is to provide personalized and impactful mental health services that address the unique challenges of each individual and organization I work with. Whether through counselling, group therapy, or corporate services, my goal is to empower you to achieve greater well-being and mental health stability.
With an educational background spanning psychology, mental health project management, and business analysis, I’ve developed a broad set of skills that allow me to offer a multifaceted approach to mental health care. I’ve also had the privilege of volunteering my expertise—translating research for the Cochrane Collaboration and coordinating networks for mental health professionals. Across all of my roles, my focus remains on creating meaningful change and fostering resilience in the lives of those I serve.
