Counselling Gold Coast

If you have been experiencing persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger, stress, or other difficult emotions for several weeks or months, speaking with a mental health professional may be helpful. Rather than waiting until things feel overwhelming, consider reaching out early. In fact, many people seek counselling to gain support, better understand themselves, develop healthier coping strategies, or navigate life’s challenges. Additionally, counselling provides a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts and emotions. As a result, seeking support early can make a meaningful difference to your overall well-being. Ultimately, counselling can help you build resilience, improve self-awareness, and move forward with greater confidence.

I provide a range of evidence-based counselling and psychotherapy services tailored to each client’s individual needs. These include:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing): An evidence-based therapy that helps process trauma, reduce distressing memories, and change negative beliefs that often develop after difficult life experiences. As a result, many people experience improved emotional wellbeing and resilience.

Schema Therapy: Focuses on identifying and healing longstanding patterns that began in childhood. In particular, it addresses unhelpful core beliefs, coping styles, and “child modes” that continue to affect relationships, self-esteem, and emotional wellbeing. Over time, this approach can support healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to others.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Teaches practical skills to improve emotional regulation, manage distress, strengthen relationships, and replace unhelpful behaviours with healthier coping strategies. Consequently, practising these skills consistently can lead to healthier thinking and lasting behavioural change.

Supportive Counselling: Sometimes, people simply need a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to talk. In this supportive environment, I help you explore your thoughts and feelings, gain clarity, make sense of life’s challenges, and discover solutions that feel right for you.

Because every person is unique, therapy is tailored to your individual goals. Whether you are seeking support for trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, stress, or personal growth, I will work with you to create a treatment plan that meets your specific needs. Ultimately, the aim is to provide personalised support that helps you achieve meaningful and lasting change.

As a trained EMDR therapist and counsellor, I support individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional, psychological, and life challenges. Because every person’s experience is unique, I tailor therapy to your individual circumstances. Together, we focus on healing, gaining insight, and building greater confidence and resilience. Ultimately, the goal is to help you create lasting positive change and improve your overall well-being.

No. Fortunately, you do not need a referral to book an appointment with me. As a Provisional Psychologist, I accept self-referrals. Therefore, you can contact my clinic directly to arrange a counselling session at a time that suits you.

The number of counselling sessions you need will depend on your goals, the nature of your concerns, and how long you have been experiencing them. Because every person’s situation is unique, there is no set number of sessions that suits everyone. Instead, we will regularly review your progress and adjust the approach as needed to ensure therapy continues to support your individual goals.
