Holistic and Faith-Based  Psychotherapy in Melbourne

Text + image

Hi there! I'm Marvel Adeyemi, a Holistic and Faith-Based Psychotherapist, Coach, and Accredited Social Worker. Welcome to Wholesome Counselling, where you'll find a warm and inviting space to embark on your journey towards healing, growth, and flourishing.
At a tender age of 8, my family went through a heart-breaking separation. This personal experience has given me a profound understanding of the challenges that come with family separation, childhood trauma, and the accompanying feelings of abandonment and depression. It was during my own journey to recovery that I discovered the transformative power of faith-based psychotherapy. This is why I'm driven by a deep passion to extend the same level of unwavering support and guidance to others in their healing process.
With over 15 years of experience in the human services industry, I've had the privilege of working with individuals and families from all walks of life. My deep-rooted passion for mental health led me to pursue a master's degree in counselling and another in social work upon moving to Australia.
My lived experience within a culturally diverse community and fluency in African languages provide me with a unique perspective on various issues. As a happily married woman and a mother of two adolescent children, I've learned first-hand the importance of adapting to change, accepting new cultures, and building resilient families.
At Wholesome Counselling Services, I collaborate closely with clients and multidisciplinary teams to achieve our agreed-upon goals and treatment outcomes. Through evidence-based techniques and processes, I strive to go beyond organizational goals and empower individuals to achieve their utmost potential.
As a Christian, I'm more than happy to provide counselling from a faith-based approach, always respecting the client's preferences and consent. I also find joy in partnering with grassroots community organizations and facilitating group wellbeing sessions, where we focus on developing social and emotional skills from a culturally sensitive perspective. Together, we create a hopeful and positive future.
No matter your past, race, gender, or socio-economic status, we believe that healing, growth, and flourishing are possible for everyone. At Wholesome Counselling Services, you can expect culturally sensitive, empathetic, and professional mental health support.
If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey towards a healthier, happier you, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Contact me today to book a consultation and take that courageous first step towards the life you deserve.
