I am the Founder and Director of Project 18, a wellbeing space that is focussed on delivering professional counselling, consultancy and advocacy services. I coordinate a shared, safe and welcoming space with a committment to embracing compassion and acceptance for all who visit.
I am an Integrative Practitioner, I provide 1:1 counselling to children and young people, aged between 8yo and 21yo. I have been in private practice for 5 years and before that worked in the Youth Sector for more than 20 years. I have a background in child protection and youth justice, have been an advocate and am very experienced in supporting vulnerable young people to find their voice and navigate systems. I believe all children, no matter their history, their circumstnaces or their experiences of adversity have strengths and qualities that with the right support and opportunities can empower them to be the best versions of themselves and to live a life of their making.
I am a consultant and facilitator – this is particularly focussed on supporting others (agencies, departments, sectors, services, systems) to create and facilitate safe, effective consultations processes and opportunities to obtain the voice, views and insights that young people have on the issues that impact their lives.

Chelle is a Holistic Counsellor, Reiki Master, creator of Ageing With Empowerment (AWE), Mentor and Mindset Alchemist.

“As a woman, wife, mother and now grandmother, I have walked the path of conditioning, self doubt and self sabotage and understand the challenges and limitations this can manifest in your life.
I spent decades of my life feeling that I never quite made the grade, low self esteem, self loathing of my body and my perceived lack of success. Constantly beat myself up for not measuring up to what I thought was expected of me – and piled unrealistic expectations on myself.
Spent years in the never ending spiral of comparison and competition which always left me wanting. Found myself criticizing other women in the vain hope that it would make me feel better.
But it didn’t – I just found myself feeling more miserable and discontent.
Then I found myself, at the age of 58, unemployed, sad and lonely.
Did a lot of drinking, eating too much, falling deeper and deeper into a hole of feeling desperately unhappy.
Until one day, I decided things had to change.
I won’t say it was easy, I won’t fool you and say it happened overnight. It took tons of effort and lots of self healing, however, I can now truly say that I am happy with and within myself.
Sure, some days are more challenging than others, however I now have the tools and strategies to bring myself back into a space of love and peace with more ease, allowing me to enjoy each day knowing that I am enough, I am amazing and I am worthy.
And now, I bring those same tools, guides, inspirations and healings here, for you so you can finally leave all that self doubt, self loathing, and lack of self love behind and begin living a life that brings joy, peace and love into your space everyday.
Isnt’ it time you began to reconnect to your authentic power and realise your true worth and deep inner strengths, empowered to live a life of calm, courage, confidence, peace and joy.
There is so much more that unites us as women than that which divides us. We all have a deep-rooted need for connection and communal support. We all feel physically better when our minds are in good shape, and we all could benefit from feeling better about ourselves as we grow older.
I’m here to guide and learn with you, as we remember.
Let’s throw all stigmas, limits and conditioning out the window as we work to increase our wellness of body and spirit and show the world that we are vibrant, magical and amazing.

After a successful 21-year career as a qualified hairdresser and salon owner, I transitioned into a new path due to a shoulder injury that prompted me to leave the hair and beauty industry. During my tenure, I not only managed my own salon and trained apprentices but also worked as a trainer at Bite on the Side for four years, utilising my Hair and Beauty Trainer certification. Alongside, I volunteered as an ambulance officer and earned a Certificate 2 in Medical Emergency Response.
Seeking to remain engaged with the community, I pursued a Certificate 3 in Disability and subsequently worked with Community Living Australia for four years. This shift in focus was driven by my desire to enhance care standards and support for individuals.
My academic journey includes a Certificate 3 in Disability Support, Certificate 4 in Beauty Therapy, Certificate 4 in Training and Assessment, an associate degree, and an Undergraduate Certificate in Community Support from the University of Tasmania.
In January 2022, I founded Coastal Community Support Services from my home office, relocating to our current location at McLaren Vale Shopping Centre in May 2023. This venture embodies my commitment to creating environments where individuals receive exceptional care and support.
I am also a mother to two daughters, aged 11 and 13, and a stepmother to a 10-year-old. Our household also includes two exchange students, my partner Andrew, and our beloved dog Diesel.
