About our founder
"I am passionate about the healing process and working with people who want to take that next step on their journey towards wellness and self value."
- Jane McCollum
Founder of Open Door Counselling
Open Door Counselling was founded by Jane McCollum. A girl from the Darling Downs with a passion for supporting people on their healing journey through counselling.
​
Jane's personal journey has taken her to communities all over the world, from some of the biggest cities on earth in India and China, to Australia's remote rural communities and mining camps. This has given her a unique insight into the challenges and pressures experienced by people living and working in those environments.​
​
It was those experiences and more, gained through her time as an organisational counsellor and community advocate with Rural Aid, that inspired Jane to found Open Door Counselling; and bring the value of a personal counselling approach to people embarking on their healing journey.
