Bio
Guenter is a Biographical Counsellor deeply committed to personal development and spiritual insight. Originally from Germany, he migrated to Australia in 1990 and has been actively engaged in the Anthroposophical movement ever since. His path into Biography Work was sparked by his own midlife transition – an experience that awakened a lifelong dedication to helping others uncover the deeper patterns and formative rhythms within their life stories. Since 2009, Guenter has practised as both a Biographical and General Counsellor at the Melbourne Therapy Centre, where he supports individuals at pivotal life junctures. His work helps clients find meaning and purpose, navigate transitions, address mental and emotional health challenges, and foster personal growth. Drawing on his extensive career in the IT industry alongside his enduring commitment to Anthroposophy, Guenter brings a rare blend of analytical depth and spiritual insight to his counselling practice. He also integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), tailoring his approach to meet the unique needs of each individual.
