About Us
Geoffrey Groube
In 1998 I believe God called me into Christian Counselling.
At the time I was running my own marketing consultancy
and becoming a counselor was not on my agenda.
Today I have a diploma in professional counselling from
the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors, am
a Clinical Member of the Australian Counselling Association,
a registered supervisor with The Australian Counselling
Association, and a licensed Prepare/Enrich Administrator.
I have attended a bible college and completed studies in
various biblical subjects.
My counselling style is eclectic integrating biblical
principals with various secular models. |

|
Since qualifying in 2000 I have been counselling full
time. My early experience was gained with Crossway Pastoral
Counselling and since the middle of 2003 I have been in
full time private practice in Heathmont.
My personal experience of addiction recovery, working
through grief and loss, resolving childhood issues, coming
into faith in Jesus Christ and my experience of 12 Step
recovery programs has uniquely equipped me to counsel people
working through myriad issues.

At the end of 2008 I completed my student placement at
Crossway Counselling. Having gone through my own addiction
recovery journey and worked through personal issues as
a Christian and from a Christian perspective has placed
me in a position to assist people to work through their
own personal difficulties.
- God’s Call to Counselling
In 2003 God gave me dream and a scripture from Isaiah 61:1-3
(New International Version) which reads:
| |
1 |
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, |
| |
2 |
to proclaim the year of the LORD’S favour
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn, |
| |
3 |
and provide for those who grieve in Zion –
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendour. |
|
In 2006 God gave me a vision or picture of what he wanted me to continue
to do. He showed me that He wanted me to continue to point the way to
Him. That He was / is the solution to the problems of the people that
He would bring to me.
God also lead me to a scripture in Malachi 4:5-6 (New International
Version) which reads:
5 “See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and
dreadful day of the LORD comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers
to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or
else I will come and strike the land with a curse.”
In Matthew 17: 10 – 13 the disciples are talking about this scripture
with Jesus and Jesus explains to them that Elijah had already come and
then the disciples understood that John the Baptist was the fulfillment
of this prophecy.
John the Baptist pointed the way to the one who was to come and preached
a baptism of repentance. My own journey has been one of repentance and
surrender and much of what I do today is facilitate the reconciliation
of relationships between people and God, with themselves and with their
loved ones.
