About

Marlynna believes that each of us holds within ourselves the strength, wisdom, and courage needed to create meaningful change. When life’s pressures leave us feeling burnt out, stuck, or disconnected, having a safe space to pause and reflect can be a powerful first step toward healing.

Drawing from her experiences living and working across Australia, Türkiye, and Singapore, Marlynna brings a culturally sensitive and open perspective to her practice. Her journey through different countries, careers, and professional transitions has deepened her understanding of the challenges and growth that accompany change.

As a mother of three, including a neurodivergent child with ADHD, she understands the emotional demands of caregiving and the realities of parenting. Her experience navigating an intercultural marriage and family life has further enriched her empathy and insight, allowing her to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds and life circumstances.

Experience

Before transitioning to counselling, Marlynna spent over a decade running a technology company and built a career in marketing and events. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Management and a Master’s degree in Accounting, and is due to complete her Master’s degree in Counselling in June, 2026. This breadth of experience in communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal dynamics informs and enriches her work with clients.

Outside her practice, Marlynna volunteers at Pertapis Centre for Women and Girls, supporting adolescent girls navigating emotional, relational, and social challenges.
