Counselling in Albany Creek, QLD

We are primed for struggle and to connect within self and with others to improve our experiences of life, relationships, work, parenting, and everything in between. We have a biological need to feel emotions; the whole spectrum of emotions-joy, sadness, fear, happiness, and so on. These feelings come and go, some stay longer, some push forth when triggered, some hang back and hide; but when they arise they’re deeply felt. Through nurturing a safe, warm, empathetic space, Francene Hemingway, Lee Hughes, & Alanah Keating can work with you to gently discuss your personal experiences openly and supportively.

You are not alone anymore. Right now you may feel stressed, anxious, sad, unsure, ashamed, unloved....I get it, I've been there.

The rest of the time i provide counselling online with early morning, late evening and weekend appointments. Be Seen , Heard and Understood... Friendly approach...we may even laugh together.

I help clients to move from a place of struggle to one of greater choice, flexibility and freedom. The cultivation of self-compassion and non-judgmental awareness is fundamental to my approach and the basis for facilitating lasting change in a safe and empathic space from which individuals can gain understanding and feel empowered and resilient.

Therapy is a very intimate experience. In my work with people I strive for a personal connection with my clients from the get-go. Through that relationship, I am better able to understand the motivations, hidden struggles and impulses that drive my clients, and in turn, help them to utilize their own strengths and learned techniques to successfully address the difficulties being experienced by them. I have assisted clients who are going through or preparing for life transitions, experiencing depression, anxiety or mood disorders, or recovering from trauma or loss.
