Hi, I'm Charlene,
     the heart and soul behind EvoTherapy!

I’ve lived in the Singleton NSW community for over 20 years now, almost a local! Before then, throughout my childhood, we moved every couple of years due to my Dad’s work. We have taken up residence in many towns on the eastern side of NSW. Moving every couple of years and starting new schools on many occasions may seem daunting, however that’s just what we did. It was my normal. For me, I believe this built resilience and a familiarity with change.

Whilst growing up, I witnessed the transformative power of mental health support within my own family. My incredible Mum, who overcame adversity with grace and strength, inspired me to explore the world of mental health and wellbeing. Her journey taught me that with the right support and guidance, we have the power to overcome life's challenges and emerge stronger and more resilient than ever!

When I completed high school I dived right in to working full time and began my Bachelor of Psychology… whilst the degree was my passion in progress, the timing was off. I delayed the Psychology studies and decided to work full time and have fun on my weekends. It was a better fit for my 18-year-old self. Fast forward several years and I was ready to reignite the passion, I started to chip away at my Bachelor of Psychological Sciences whilst still working.

Whilst studying I had two beautiful children, got married, experienced a miscarriage, got made redundant from a job that I had worked at for close to 10 years (the workplace was closing) and did my best to support my Mum through her breast cancer journey. Whilst continuing to manage life’s ups and downs, I then looked toward the next endeavour which was a Diploma of Counselling and the opening of my private practice. Well then covid came in like a tornado and prolonged that plan. Nevertheless, here I am - I have a Bachelor of Psychological Sciences, a Diploma of Counselling and I am living my dream of running a private practice!

The private practice name ‘EvoTherapy’ came about from the combination of evolve with therapy. This is the core of my business, helping people to evolve into the best version of themselves! With this as my foundation, I specialise in empowerment-focused mental health and wellbeing counselling for women, teens and children. So far this has proven to be a very rewarding profession for me, it warms my heart to see people walk out feeling lighter, brighter and empowered!

I hope to continue to grow EvoTherapy, allowing our community to have continued access to local mental health and wellbeing support. I also provide online or telephone counselling services for those that are not close by.
