Marc de Bruin | Counsellor, Supervisor & Mentor - Sippy Downs, QLD

Alana R.

Marc has been a big part of my counselling degree, as a teacher and a supervisor. I always think of his perspective on things, not just throughout the course, but now as I’m stepping into counselling roles. I loved his teaching style straight away, his storytelling, his realness, the way he connected with the class as a human. There was never any power imbalance, just mutual respect. He appreciated my curious nature and has a great sense of humour too.

As a supervisor, Marc has reminded me to get out of the stories in my head and look at what’s actually true and real, which is so refreshing. That’s a real skill, because some counsellors can feed into the distortions, which just drags things out. I really value Marc’s focus, his direct, straight-up way of seeing things, and how he keeps everything present, grounded, and no-nonsense. He is kind, and honest, and he’s had a real impact on how I see things, and how I work. If you want a genuine, non-fluff counsellor, don't hesitate to call him!

What sets Marc apart is his creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. He doesn't rely on generic solutions or one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, he tailors his coaching methods to the individual, taking into account their unique circumstances, strengths, and goals. This personalized approach allow for new perspectives and developing effective strategies for personal growth.

Marc listened intently to understand my issues and provided a range of practical and effective strategies for me to implement at work and home which have helped me move forward and overcome my blockages.
