Counselling in 4005

My heart lies in supporting two types of clients - those within the LGBTQIA+ community navigating the unique challenges we face such as rejection, shame, and self-acceptance, as well as individuals living with High-Functioning Anxiety, often seen as overthinking, high-achieving, and people-pleasing. When forced to deny our authenticity, we often come to believe our worth is defined by others' conditions, leading to pain or a sense of stuckness. But through emotional processing and increased awareness, we can learn to trust ourselves again, and to move toward what we want most in life.

Since 2005, I have worked as a psychotherapist and social worker in a range of human service and community work settings. My clinical practice has been shaped by people affected by: – chronic illness; natural disasters; trauma, disability; mental health challenges; and grief and loss. I consider the therapeutic space to be a safe and enriched environment. I strive to bring a gentle curiosity to these explorations, and to acknowledge the importance of working at your pace. Central to my work is a belief in our capacity for insight, creativity, and growth – particularly in response to the difficulties we face.

Hi, I'm Kate, a performance psychologist, and sport and exercise psychology registrar based in Brisbane. Are you struggling to reach your sport or performance goals, experiencing performance-related stress or anxiety, recovering from a sport injury, facing retirement? Or maybe you just want to get better at what you are doing?

I work with people who struggle to be themselves, trust themselves and want to have better relationships with other people. If this is you, you might try to achieve this by taking care of everyone else or presenting a version of yourself to the world that you think people would like. You no longer know who you are or what you stand for. Because you’re working so hard within all your relationships you are probably kicking goals in areas like work, but this comes at a cost. You are going above and beyond for others at the expense of yourself which leaves you feeling exhausted, unfulfilled and stressed.

www.objectivepsychology.com.au - I consider my approach to my clients as warm, understanding, compassionate, and client-centred. I try to focus on empowering the individual and providing tools to help improve resilience and overall emotional, mental, and physical well-being. I also try to bring in an element of humour and wit, often with a different perspective than many would expect in a traditional therapy session. I use an evidence based, scientific approach to help my clients first to understand what they are dealing with, and then to try and improve their lives in the most efficacious way.

Stress and trauma affect the way in which we all think and behave. Our mind often gets stuck in this response and it is difficult to think and behave the way we want to. I work with how the mind, brain and body responds to stress and trauma. I work from a whole person perspective in ways we can improve everyday mood, emotional responses and the impact our personal distress has on relationships.

Hi, I’m Julie. Are you feeling stuck, misunderstood, and anxious? Do you find yourself struggling to get to sleep, replaying conversations over and over? Maybe you feel like you can’t truly be yourself, afraid of being rejected or judged. Life might feel like it’s on repeat — doing everything that’s expected, but inside, something feels off. You’re tired of keeping quiet just to fit in, but you’re unsure of what truly makes you happy. Many people feel disconnected from themselves, unsure of what they want or what excites them. You might feel lost, anxious, or flat about your life, even though everything seems "fine" on the surface.
