My Name is Tod Stokes

I am a First Nations Torres Strait Islander man. With qualifications in mental health and Counselling (narrative therepist)  after 11 years working for services in the Domestic Violence sector decided that I needed to find a way I could do the same work i was doing but not be forced to rely on the cyclical nature of funding. So my wife Danielle Stokes and I created Legacy Counselling and Consultancy. 

​

 

Legacy Counselling isnt about our Legacy but the Legacy of the men and women that we work with. What is the legacy that they want to leave behind. 

​

 

I was once asked a question that shook me to my core and although it may be difficult to think about it changed how i saw things.

​

​

​

The questions was this..... If you were about to take you last breath on this world what would you want your kids to say about you. It rocked me as I always havent got it right, but it gave me a focus to change the narrative my children had of me.

 

 

So what will your legacy be?
