Meet Our Dedicated Team at Victorian Therapy and Counselling Centre

It all began with Tidda Counselling in Point Cook, where our certified therapists provided structured therapies for children and young people facing complex challenges. Tidda Counselling became a beacon of support. Fueled by the growing need for comprehensive mental health services, we expanded our vision.

Introducing Victorian Therapy and Counselling Centre, an evolution from Tidda Counselling. With Tidda Counselling as our foundation, we've broadened our team's expertise to guide individuals of all ages on unique journeys of healing and growth. Join us in continuing this legacy of compassion, empowerment, and transformative therapy.
