Counselling in Queensland

Times are challenging nowadays for both little and big people! These challenges present to us in a myriad of forms across school life, work life and home life. I undertake therapy with children (preschool age and above), adolescents, adults and families in a way that helps all parties understand themselves and each other better. I also feel that young adults (18-30's) often struggle to ask for help around anxiety and depression, therefore I strongly encourage you to reach out and we can have a chat about strengthening your own resources to feel better.

As my ideal client, you are an adult who experienced any form of abuse and/or neglect during your childhood – it might be physical, emotional, or sexual. It might be a few years after the abuse or many years later. What matters, is the fact that it is still causing you problems, preventing you from being the person you think you can/should be. Therefore, your goals are to regain your true/real identity; becoming the best person you can be and have a vision for the future and a purpose in your life – you want to let go the stronghold of the past on your life and your person. You want to become who you were supposed to be.

Sometimes life throws a curveball at you, and can be unpredictable, and you need to talk to someone that can help you to rebalance. Hi, I'm Sandra, and I provide a warm, caring, safe, non-judgmental therapeutic space where you can share your story, and discuss options and possible solutions on how to move forward in life. My goal is to help my clients to discover possible ways to build a rich and meaningful life, and sometimes that is done in spite of personal challenges or adversity they may be facing.

Do you sometimes struggle to be understood? As an introvert, INFJ, empath or neurodivergent, you might struggle to feel like you fit in. It can be especially hard when you constantly feel like your energy levels are being drained! You are probably someone who everyone leans on for help and support, yet you yourself don't have anyone to talk to who gets you and hears what you are saying. When you've gone through your own issues- it's important that you have a place to feel heard. What if I was to tell you that I could help? For you to heal from your past, find joy in the now, and to have the courage to dream big dreams for your life.

I believe that we all have the capacity to grow and make changes, even though change can be difficult. Sometimes it can be a little easier when we have someone to walk alongside us to help recognise our uniqueness and strengths. I have a strong commitment to working from a client centred approach; I see individuals as the expert in their own life and never assume to know what is best for them.

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 looking at new ways of being with each other. Our clients are looking for a way to make meaning from their experiences and are supported to decide for themselves if this is the life they want to lead. Our clients are provided with a sense of empowerment & encouragement to keep learning & growing as they navigate life's challenges.

Arts Therapy is a professional clinical health service. This is an arts-based approach to therapy, incorporating modality into the interventions. Sessions are experiential, embodied and use all of the verbal and non-verbal cues to build a more informed picture and sense of awareness about our situations and relationships.
