Auslansoul
Auslansoul is a Deafled therapy/counselling practice that is culturally inclusive and language accessible for members of our Deaf community. Auslansoul is provided by Irene Holub, Deaf registered ACA counsellor, Art Therapist, Yoga Therapist/Translator. She has had extensive experience working in the Deaf community as an educator, wellbeing facilitator, family support coordinator, early intervention leader and advocate. Irene understands how Deaf/Hard of Hearing /DeafBlind/Late Deafened clients are shaped by their identity, experiences , Deaf trauma including other intersectionalities in their lives and believes in empowering them on their journey to mental and emotional wellbeing.
“I believe that my clients have the desire and the capacity to grow towards fulfilling their full potential and that they are the experts of their own lives. Therefore I will not give advice or offer solutions but will work with them to help them understand themselves more fully and to find their own inner resources. With greater awareness and trust in themselves, I hope that they are able to make constructive changes, leading to a more satisfying and meaningful life.” (Irene Holub)
