Counselling in Ipswich, QLD

I have fourteen years of experience listening to clients who feel unheard, confused, angry, disheartened or hopeless about past or current difficulties in their life. Difficulties may be related to loss, relationship breakdown, parenting, children, life transitions, daily family struggles, health issues, or stress management. Perhaps there is something specific they would like to change, or they may need to explore before being ready to discover some goals and options. People are generally seeking to feel heard, validated, and guided, while having their individual perspectives and preferences valued.

The people we support are looking for a way to better understand themselves and the relationships they have in their lives. Often communication has broken down and they feel disconnected from themselves and withdrawn from others. The couples we work with are also experiencing this disconnection and are needing a different way to view their relationships and support in reconnecting. To make meaning from their the past and the the strategies to move forward in life. Our clients are provided with a sense of empowerment & encouragement to keep learning & growing as they navigate life's challenges.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or other mental health problem. Do you need someone to listen when others can’t. If you feel alone and need someone to be with you who has the ability to understand and help you understand - give me a call. Do you want help to repair your relationships with others - family, friends, workplace, children. Are you able to accept some responsibility for your own thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Would you like to understand why you feel the way you do and respond to others the way you do. Are you prepared to work with me on this in order to make the changes you want. There is hope!

Do you feel overwhelmed by life's challenges? Are you struggling to cope with anxiety, depression or troubled by past experiences? Are your relationships not what you'd like them to be? If so, please know, there is hope. Imagine finding relief from the burdens that weigh you down! As a dedicated counsellor, my goal is to help you overcome life's challenges and rediscover inner strength. Where appropriate I will use EMDR therapy, to reprocess old memories that may be negatively affecting your present. EMDR is a safe and effective therapy, that can help you have inner peace, emotional wellbeing and a renewed hope for the future.

I am a highly-experienced relationship counsellor having worked with couples for more than 20 years. Effective results from relationship counselling happen when the therapist is able to quickly get a handle of the difficulties in a way that is impartial, skilled, informative and supportive. Only then are both partners in the best position to find long-lasting and loving ways forward together.

As a late diagnosed Autistic/ADHD/PDA individual, I proudly own who I am and utilise this as a foundation for my framework of practise as a Registered Counsellor. It has given me the permission to deeply root myself in neurodiverse affirmative counselling; a strengths based, non-pathologising type of therapy where each individual’s unique neurotype, sensory needs, values, beliefs, and current lifestyle form the foundation for therapy. It gives me such joy to work with people in the process of unmasking, and gently guide them as they discover what living authentically can be like.

Feeling overwhelmed, angry, alone, sad or burned out can happen to us all, no matter how successful you are. As a counsellor, I offer support and help to understand your issues, find clarity, make a plan, change direction, feel stronger, and more resilient. I’ll help you cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, difficult relationships, medical issues, chronic pain, weight-loss, identity issues, fertility issues, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Take time to focus on you & your mental health. No referral or health care plan needed, just connect and start this week to live a better, calmer, happier life.
