Belinda Kippen - Counsellor
(Lilian Cooper Centre)
Belinda offers a calm, compassionate space for counselling, where conversations unfold collaboratively and without judgment. Each client receives a therapeutic letter after their session - a written reflection designed to deepen insight and support ongoing growth.
With decades of experience in healthcare, including nursing and midwifery, she brings an appreciation of life’s complexities. No referral or mental health care plan is needed - just a willingness to explore what matters to you.
When she is not working, she enjoys the rhythm of following the black line up and down her local pool and cooking meals to share with friends and family. On weekends, you might spot her quietly browsing through op shops, always on the lookout for hidden treasures.
