Emotional struggles often signal that something in your life needs attention. Anxiety, mood fluctuations, addictions, and relationship struggles can leave you feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward. Unprocessed challenging experiences, such as trauma, narcissistic abuse, domestic/family violence and addictions can shape how you see yourself and the world, making it hard to break free from harmful patterns.

Psychologist, PsyBA General
Warana, QLD 4575
Hello! My name is Kiana and I typically work with those who may appear to be managing well on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of themselves. They might be struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, people-pleasing, burnout, or navigating a period of change in their life. Often, they want to better understand themselves - why they think, feel, and react the way they do. They’re looking for both practical strategies to cope with everyday challenges and deeper insight into their patterns, values, and goals. Ultimately, they want to feel more confident, grounded, and comfortable being themselves.

Many of the adults I work with have spent years feeling misunderstood or overwhelmed. They might be navigating ADHD, autism spectrum traits or longstanding trauma, often without clear formulation or integrated support. Some have received a late diagnosis or recognise high masking patterns. Others struggle with emotional regulation, relationship strain or persistent distress that has not shifted with short-term approaches. They want clarity, stability and a deeper understanding of themselves.

Noosaville, QLD 4566
Often in today's world, we get caught up in so many distractions on the outside that we are not always aware of our internal experiences. We walk around anxious and depressed, with critical thoughts of ourselves and others, and often live a reality that is separate from our own personal wishes and desires. I believe that therapy provides a safe space to step away from all the external distractions and focus on identifying and responding to our emotional world in the most open and connected way, which may have been too painful to do in the past.

My name is Anita and I work with my Therapy Dogs Bonnie and Noah. I have two areas of my psychology work that I am passionate about making available to you. The first being Animal Assisted Therapy, and the second Art in Therapy. Having the dogs in my studio provides you with an emotionally safe and nurturing space to explore the distress you are feeling, without getting lost in it. The dogs are always there as a welcome sensory connection to the present moment. I also use art (basket weaving /picture cards, paint and other) to help you explore parts of your story and emotional experience that you don't have the right words for.

Somatic Psychotherapy with Laura Emilia
Psychotherapist, MA, PACFA
Serves Area
I work with people who are thoughtful, reflective, and ready to actively engage in therapy. Many of my clients are functioning well on the outside yet feel anxious, burnt out, stuck, or caught in repeating relational patterns. They’re not looking for quick fixes, but for a deeper understanding of how their nervous system shapes their emotions, body, and relationships. Through somatic psychotherapy, we work at a steady and supportive pace to build regulation, capacity, and trust in yourself. Over time, clients often feel more grounded, less reactive, and more able to meet life and relationships with clarity, choice, and ease.

You are so much more than a symptom, a struggle, or a diagnosis. People come to therapy for different reasons—often to work through challenges, and also in search of something more: greater self-understanding, connection or meaning. I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore both life’s challenges and opportunities for growth. I'm guided by a holistic understanding that our inner and outer worlds are deeply interconnected through mind, body, emotion, relationship, health, environment and spirit. I am passionate about these connections, particularly in the areas of complex trauma, chronic health conditions and ancestral patterns

Codependency Therapists
What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.

What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.

How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.

What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
