About

I'm Lucina Twigg - a counsellor, educator, and wellness practitioner with over 15 years of experience supporting people across four countries (Australia, Vietnam, Tanzania, and Seychelles).

My approach is grounded in respect, empathy, compassion, and positive regard. I believe in meeting you where you are, without judgment, and empowering you to navigate your journey with confidence and clarity.

My Qualifications:

  • Bachelor of Psychology and Counselling (2023)

  • Master of Education in Career Guidance (completion June 2027)

  • Teaching Degree (four-year Diploma in Teaching 2006)

  • Certificate III in Fitness (2022)

  • Registered with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA)

  • 15+ years teaching and mentoring experience across diverse cultural contexts

My Approach

I specialise in integrating movement and nature into therapeutic practice. Research shows that walking while talking reduces anxiety, enhances creative thinking, and creates a less intimidating environment for difficult conversations. Whether we meet in a counselling room, in a park, along coastal paths, outdoors at a café, or online, I tailor each session to what works best for you.

Beyond traditional counselling, I bring expertise in career development, cross-cultural understanding, and holistic wellness. I'm multilingual (English, French, Seychellois Creole) and have worked with students and adults from over 78 nationalities.

Beyond Work:

I'm passionate about martial arts (karate, muay Thai, jujitsu), perform with an Afrobeats cultural group, and love exploring nature with my family. I believe in practicing what I preach - staying active, connected to community, and continuously learning.

Mission

Grounded in care

I believe everyone deserves a safe space to be heard, understood, and supported. My practice is grounded in warmth, respect, and practical strategies that fit your real life, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
