About Flourish Counselling & Psychosocial Support Echuca
Kerynn Fotiou - founder & registered counsellor
Hello, my name is Kerynn, and I am a registered and trauma-informed counsellor. I am also the founder of Flourish Counselling in Echuca, and I created this space with you in mind.
As a trauma-informed and neuro-aware counsellor, I provide person-centred counselling and psychosocial support to adults, children, teens, couples, and families who are navigating trauma, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, communication challenges and other life challenges.
Flourish grew from a long-held dream to create a space where people feel genuinely safe, understood, and valued. A space where they can be themselves without fear of judgement, understand themselves more deeply, and navigate life's challenges in a way that supports growth and healing. I envisioned creating a practice where lived experience, neuroscience, and trauma-informed counselling approaches honour the whole person and their story.
With over 25 years of experience in the community services and counselling professions, my practice is grounded in ethical, evidence-based approaches that are practical, outcome-focused, and backed by scientific evidence. I provide tailored counselling sessions in my private practice in Echuca, as well as telehealth sessions for those outside our region, ensuring that my services are accessible to all who need them.
I hold postgraduate training in behavioural science, counselling, domestic and family violence response, neurodiversity coaching, and trauma recovery.
My biggest career highlight was training with Dr Bessel Van Der Kolk at his Melbourne workshop, The Body Keeps the Score, which profoundly shaped my understanding of trauma, the nervous system's adaptation to distress and trauma, and how our experiences influence the way we think, feel, function, and interact with the world around us.
I am a registered member of the ACA (Australian Counselling Association), ARCAP (The Australian Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), Psychology Today, HealthShare, Halaxy, Health Direct, and listed in the directory for The Campaspe Shire Council as a trusted provider.
