Who We Are

At Open Hand Counselling, we – Jude and Daisy Morris – bring together many years of compassionate experience and a shared passion for supporting people on their unique journeys.

Jude

I’m Jude, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Accredited Supervisor with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).

I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling, a Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy & Counselling, a Bachelor’s Degree in Divinity, and an Advanced Certificate in Family Therapy. My work is focused on family and couples counselling, addictions and providing supervision to counsellors. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to support meaningful and lasting change.

If you’d like to hear directly from those I’ve worked with, you can visit the ‘Reviews’ section of this website—many clients have shared kind words about the impact of our work together.

I deeply believe that genuine connection and personalised care are at the heart of effective therapy.

Daisy

I’m Daisy, a mental health social worker with over 25 years’ experience supporting people through life’s most challenging moments. I work with individuals and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions.

I’m known for my calm, compassionate approach and for creating a safe, non-judgemental space where people feel truly heard and understood. I believe healing begins with connection to ourselves, to others, and to a sense of meaning. I walk alongside my clients as they navigate their journey toward hope and wellbeing.

My work blends evidence-based strategies with genuine care, helping people build resilience, rediscover their strengths and move forward with confidence
