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 and Counsellor, specialising in family and relationship therapy. For the past 23 years, I’ve supported people experiencing complex and severe mental health challenges.

I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and reconnect with their inner strengths.

My background includes a Master’s in Social Work, a Bachelor’s Degree in Divinity and an Advanced Certificate in Family Therapy. Over the years, I’ve worked across both community and government sectors in Canberra and Brisbane, supporting individuals and families of all ages.

Together, we create a warm and welcoming space where our clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. Our approach is grounded in authenticity, kindness, and a deep belief in every person’s capacity to heal and grow. At Open Hand Counselling, we’re here to walk alongside you—every step of the way.
