Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counselling in South East Queensland, QLD

Hello I’m Donna Neck and welcome to Life Counselling Solutions. As we all know everyday life certainly has its challenges and stressors these days. Whether you are going through a relationship breakdown or wish to enhance your current relationship to regain connection. Or you may be feeling depressed and anxious, or you may be grieving the recent loss of a loved one . Or you may have recently separated and are grieving an infidelity. Or you may feel you have lost direction in life, and need assistance with regaining meaning and purpose in your life. I would love to assist you.

I provide empathetic and non-judgmental support to individuals to reach their therapy goals. I work from a person centered approach believing that you are the expert in your life. I use a range of tools and strategies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment based therapy, Mindfulness, Walk and Talk therapy and Neurofeedback therapy to assist you to feel safe to discuss making the changes that you want.

I work with adults of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and attentional issues. My forte is empowering clients to access their own inner resources and strengths so they can return to health and well being.

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and EMDR therapist. I employ a trauma-informed, attachment-focused approach to people’s paths to triumphant transformation. Their healing paths are paved with kindness, compassion, curiosity, humour, and play. I have provided 33+ years of highly-skilled therapy for diverse people with complex needs, e.g., anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, transgenerational trauma, dissociative disorders, complex PTSD, mental illnesses, identity exploration and D&FV. Specialising in complex childhood trauma, I use empowering evidence-based treatments that help people from 12+ years of age.

At Trusting Connections we offer individual and small group experiential sessions within a tranquil and peaceful setting in the beautiful Hinterland of Mudgeeraba. The space provides a safe and non-judgemental environment to allow exploration of self and processes to naturally unfold. Our services include Equine Assisted Therapy, Sand tray Counselling and Counselling though Expressive Play, all unique and highly engaging models, suited to all ages and diversity. An accredited mental health practitioner is able to support you through a wide range of challenges and a variety of concerns, to address your personal and therapeutic goals.

If you have experienced trauma or difficulties in your life and you are seeking ways to restore your sense of self, by developing your self-awareness and showing up in your life with zest and vitality then we could be a great fit. Whether you are seeking personal growth or professional development I am passionate about supporting and challenging beliefs that keep us stuck in old patterns and that no longer serve us. I weave my scientific knowledge from evidence-based theories that focus on regulating emotions and developing practical tools to become psychologically flexible.

Medical science research and mental health counselling is probably the most fulfilling job I’ve ever had. I love what am doing. Hello, my name is Thu. I am a social worker and the Director of Love and Light Healing Sunshine Coast. Besides mental health counselling, I also do research in neuroscience and medical science at the University of the Sunshine Coast. My current research focuses on mindfulness, neuroscience, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

I support parents and their school age children through challenging times. I am a respected therapist dedicated to helping people feel better. With kindness and empathy, I create a safe space for clients to openly share and explore their thoughts and emotions.

Often people seek out a counsellor or psychotherapist as a last resort. They wait until small cracks in their life become big ones that turn into chasms and feel like they’re going to swallow them up. The reason? There is still a stigma in Australia around seeking help when we’re struggling (particularly among men). Here’s the good news: if you’re facing challenges right now, whether they’re tiny or monstrous, there’s actually nothing wrong with you! Life is just pretty complicated these days, social support is often not as strong or frequent as we need, and so we all need a bit of special support and guidance sometimes. 

Welcome to My Peaceful Mind! I'm passionate about helping people learn how to reconnect with their minds and foster self-connection safely, learn how to retrain their minds to navigate their challenges and for long-term sustainable change, while taking a holistic approach.

Josh is a warm and compassionate psychologist who provides an affirming therapeutic space to all people he works with. He has a keen interest in a wide range of psychological problems, with a passion for working with PTSD and trauma-related conditions. Josh strives to empower individuals to access their innate inner resources, and to walk alongside them on a path of healing & growth. Josh primarily works with individuals (age 14+) experiencing anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, complex trauma, anger, stress, and emotion dysregulation difficulties. He also has a keen interest in men’s mental health & ADHD.

We all go through hard things, but we don't have to go through them alone. As someone who has benefited greatly from counselling, I know how helpful it can be to have someone walk alongside you as you try to navigate challenges in life. I believe people intuitively know where they need to go and what they need to do to make things better for themselves, but due to the overwhelming pressures in daily life, sometimes we become disconnected from ourself and as a result feel lost, confused, and stuck. Should you decide to work with me, my role would be to guide you back home to yourself so that you can access your own inner wisdom.

As a registered Mandarin-speaking counsellor in Australia and China, and an ACA-approved clinical supervisor, I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, personal growth, parenting, and intimate relationships. I help people gain a deeper understanding of themselves and develop effective strategies for facing life's challenges through evidence-based psychological therapies. I believe that everyone has inherent value and deserves personalized care. So, I provide tailored approaches and personalized sessions to each individual client to meet their needs and circumstances, and better support them in achieving their desired outcomes.

The shock of a frightening medical diagnosis, significant loss, or other traumatic event in our lives can severely overwhelm our nervous system leaving us feeling fearful, anxious, panicky, unable to relax or sleep, emotional and very reactive to everyone around us. It is an awful place to find ourselves in and as humans we often try to avoid or distract ourselves from these unpleasant thoughts, feelings and emotions as best we can in an attempt to cope. Some of the behaviours we may use to bring short term relief, may be harmful to us in the long term, impact on our relationships, lead to depression or reduce our quality of life.

It is an honour working with people to support, educate and assist with life struggles and journeys. I have a holistic and trauma informed focus - and extensive experience in the treatment of anxiety, depression, personality disorders, PTSD, complex trauma and drugs & alcohol concerns. And enjoy working with parenting, relationship, and grief & loss issues; as well as life adjustment and transitions. I engage with a warm, person centered, strengths and mindfulness-based perspective.

It takes a lot of strength and courage to reach out for support, therefore well done starting to look for a Psychologist.

Many people in the current era are looking for creative alternatives to standard therapy options. Whether it be because of public health concerns, having caring responsibilities, being unable to find a suitable therapist in a particular geographic location or simply preferring the convenience that online counselling affords, telehealth may be an appropriate option. I offer confidential online or face-to-face psychology consultations and particularly resonate with those who have experienced anxiety, stress, trauma and burnout, not merely as an aloof observer, but rather as a fellow traveller who has walked that well worn path.

Hi, I’m Alisii a Clinical Psychologist based on the Gold Coast. I consider myself a warm, approachable, and integrative Clinical Psychologist - blending evidence-based treatment modalities to ensure a tailored and person-centered approach to your care.

Men struggle to open up about whats troubling them. How do I know? Because I bottled my own troubles up for 30 years! Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, anxiety and burnout are all challenges I've worked through since I was 8 years old. I've learned through my own journey, that bottling things up doesn't help; and through Mindful Men, I aim to inspire men to open up, get the help they need, and live a life full of hope, purpose and joy.
