Nicole Ripinskis

Director, Team Manager and Disability Support Worker

For many years, my career was centred around administration and the tourism industry — roles that taught me the importance of organisation, communication, reliability, and creating positive experiences for people.

Alongside this, I spent over 13 years volunteering with a social group for people living with disabilities that was founded by my mum. What started as volunteering quickly became something much more meaningful. Through the relationships I built and the experiences I shared, I discovered a genuine passion for supporting people to feel valued, included, confident, and empowered to live fulfilling lives.

That passion eventually led me to join my mum in creating Beyond Wellness Counselling Services — a family business built on compassion, consistency, and connection. Together, we provide counselling and support services not only for people living with disabilities, but also for individuals, couples, and families within the wider community.

What matters most to me is creating genuine relationships and providing support people can rely on. I’m passionate about walking alongside people as they work toward their goals, build confidence, overcome challenges, and move closer to the life they want for themselves.

I truly believe everyone deserves support that is consistent, compassionate, and centred around their unique journey, goals, and dreams.
