The Gentle Counsellor acknowledges the traditional custodians of these beautiful lands we live on. We express gratitude to the Kombumerri people who speak the traditional Yugambeh language for their past, present and future care of this land. The Gentle Counsellor also acknowledges that the Kombumerri people will forever have a connection to this land – always was, always will be.
