About Me
Hi, my name is Erin Wolfe-Coote and the first thing I would like you to know about me is that I am Born Again Christian, and thus, fully a child of God. He comes first and is the true leader of all my endeavours. Everything I do is by His grace alone and for the Lord's Kingdom. He gets all the glory for every breakthrough we are privileged to witness.
I am a registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor, and it is a privilege to share a nugget of my journey and heart with you.
This journey began in 2011 when I completed my BA in Humanities, focused on Psychology and English, followed by a postgraduate degree in Education. Having taught various subjects at both high school and primary school levels, I developed a passion to guide children to find peace within themselves, as well as equip them with ways to enjoy learning and successfully apply the information they are taught in school. During this season, I continued my studies and completed an Honours degree in Psychology, as well as numerous courses relating to Counselling, Anxiety, Emotional Regulation, Neurodiversity, Educational Support, Animal Behaviour and Animal Assisted Intervention.
Alongside supporting children with their schoolwork, I branched out towards helping children understand their emotions and how they affect their actions, reactions and their interpretation of their environment. Self-regulation techniques and social skills were pivotal in these interventions. The interventions were designed for both neurotypical and neurodiverse individuals and included parent and family support.
Having been under the supervision of a wonderful Clinical Psychologist for over 4 years and in team with other professionals - ranging from Developmental Pediatricians to Occupational Therapists - working in isolation will never be an option for me. Therefore, during my interventions, it is imperative to build a hand-picked team around my clients, where the parents play the most important role of support, while being thoroughly supported by caring professionals. Transparency, quality communication and implementation of healthy boundaries are integral to this process.
After more than a decade of experience, supervision and studying, there are different areas in which God has equipped and led me to offer support - although He also knows that there will be other needs and I am open to hear where your challenges lie and will happily pray with you for sustainable solutions and deeper healing. You will find the specifics under 'Services' in the navigation bar above.
There is an urgency in my heart to be a supportive steppingstone for children and their families - to lead them to find peace in this world, enhance their wellbeing and relationships, excel beyond their greatest expectations and fulfil the calling God has placed on their lives.
As a side note, I am humbled by the testimonials that were shared when I asked for a sentence or two from the families I have already journeyed with, however the honour and glory belong to the Lord. I am just grateful that He is able to use me as His vessel for the families He puts on my path.
I look forward to being part of your team.
