Our career advisors, life coaches and counsellors

Tina Monk

Principal Consultant

After moving to Australia in 1980, I worked in research, education, and rehabilitation programs. However, feeling unfulfilled in my career, I sought guidance from a coach. That experience reaffirmed my passion and strengths in training, consulting, coaching, and counselling, all area I had already explored in previous roles.

Determined to follow my true calling, I pursued rigorous training and education, leading me to establish my career counselling and life coaching practice in 1989. Since then, I have worked with individuals, businesses, and government agencies, offering training, facilitation, coaching, and counselling to support career and personal growth.

With over 30 years of experience, I’ve helped hundreds of people achieve their career and life goals. My approach is supportive yet direct, blending deep insight with practical strategies to drive meaningful change.

I am passionate about lifelong learning and believe in a strong work-life balance. My education and professional development have always centered on understanding people and bringing out the best in them.
