Welcome to Bo Tree Counselling, a place of healing and personal transformation. Our name, Bo Tree, is inspired by the profound symbolism of growth, strength, and interconnectedness found in nature.
​
At Bo Tree Counselling, we embrace this symbolism and strive to guide individuals towards their own personal awakening and growth.
​
Our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing space for individuals seeking support on their journey of self-discovery, healing, and positive change. We believe that within each person lies the potential for profound transformation and inner peace. Drawing upon the wisdom and inspiration of the Bo Tree, we aim to facilitate this process of self-realisation.

Hello, I'm Dee Kumbukage, a warm and compassionate counsellor with a Master's in Counselling from the University of Canberra and a Graduate Diploma of Counselling from Deakin University. My journey to becoming a counsellor is unique, combining years of experience as an accountant and business owner with a deep-rooted commitment to mindfulness practices. This blend of professional expertise and personal growth allows me to bring a balanced, grounded, and empathetic presence to our sessions together.
​
As a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), I uphold the highest ethical and professional standards, ensuring a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. My extensive experience working with both couples and individuals has equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of human relationships and the challenges individuals face in their lives.
​
My approach to counselling is collaborative and client centred. I believe in working together to identify your goals and develop personalised strategies that will empower you to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and create positive change. Through deep exploration of your concerns, we will uncover underlying issues and develop insights that can lead to meaningful growth and healing.
​
By utilising a variety of therapeutic modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindful awareness, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I tailor each session to your unique needs and preferences. My goal is to provide you with the tools and support you need to achieve greater self-awareness, inner peace, meaningful connections, and a renewed sense of well-being.
​
If you are ready to embark on a journey of personal growth and healing, I invite you to contact the intake team at Bo Tree Counselling to schedule a session with me. I look forward to supporting you on your path towards a more fulfilling life.
