Reviews of Holistic Counselling Victoria (Psychologist)

Gariele Wright

During Ocean’s Open Heart / Open Mind mindfulness course, I learned multiple different meditation techniques, mantras and breathing exercises that I rely upon daily. Before the course, I was not able to open my mind and embrace my own thoughts without judgement. The course has helped me to access a higher state of consciousness and self-acceptance. I look forward to my meditation practice and know that this will be a core part of my life for years to come.

I've known and worked with Ocean in a business sense since 2014. Her commitment to her practice is deeply rooted in her strong sense of integrity. She operates from a place of calm and clear seeing. My hunch tells me that she has done a lot of her own healing, which always makes for a better ally in one's path to well-being.

Ocean's approach to counselling is the most effective counselling I have experienced. She is highly knowledgeable, and has a well-rounded tool kit to help clients in an individual way. I would recommend that anyone reading this review who is considering counselling contact Ocean and see if her approach is a fit for them.

Ocean Lum helped my husband and I through a very challenging time in our marriage. She helped us to see how each of us was contributing to the chaos we were experiencing, and how to best communicate with each other. Thank you Ocean for your perceptive guidance.

Ocean Lum helped me understand the importance of mindfulness and how it could help with my feelings of anxiety and depression. After several sessions I was able to help myself when I felt overwhelmed by focusing on my life with a new perspective.

It has been a joy getting to work with Ocean. i have learned so much from her courses. She shines a light in the cracks and is both down-to-earth and incredibly profound. In her classes, Ocean creates a space that feels safe and invites us to show up as our vulnerable selves and learn and shift. Ocean has helped me notice and work with lifelong patterns and beliefs, creating space to imagine something different and feel more joy. I would highly recommend working with Ocean individually or in her group classes.

Ocean, you helped me heal in so many ways. I'm so grateful to have met you when I did 5 years ago and for all your wisdom which has helped me become grounded and in touch with my world. You're an inspiration and I hope I can have same positive impact to my surrounding. My needs for support and understanding were met and I'm continuing to grow all thanks to you. With love, Dadmehr

I started seeing Ocean at an extremely low point in my life. Job stress, family stress, life stress. I felt like I was drowning. After a few sessions with Ocean, I was able to see how I was not setting clear boundaries for myself. Trying to please too many people, left me extremely unhappy and dissatisfied. I began to make choices based on my ability to 'happily' accomplish them. I still have moments of stress, but now I also have tools to deal with them. I whole hardheartedly recommend Ocean as a Councillor.

Ocean's theory and techniques worked for me in ways I am still seeing the benefits of and the Open heart/Open mind course especially. After one-on-one sessions I was surprised how easy it was to get comfortable and benefit from a group setting. The course content was on-point and I'm confident I'm not the only participant that saw a domino effect of meaningful changes in the way I feel and operate in my day-to-day so quickly. I especially appreciate how patient and candid she is willing to be with her clients while still making sure you're moving in the right direction. I've recommended her to even - and sometimes especially - the most skeptical without hesitation.
