Melanie Foulkes
Counsellor, MC, ACA-L2
Verified
Sometimes, things happen in our lives that we can’t control—and it can be really difficult to cope, especially when you’re disabled or live with a mental illness. Sometimes, you just need to talk to someone who “gets it”. Someone who can help you ride the waves of life, and support you with strategies to not only cope, but thrive. I specialise in providing compassionate mental health counselling for disabled people—including those with chronic illness and chronic pain. But I support clients with a variety of concerns.

Throughout my career I have focused on supporting busy working professionals, people experiencing workplace related mental health issues, and providing coaching to support people in their professional lives. I have experience supporting people who have become unwell and seeking to return to good mental health, such as those experiencing anxiety and depression. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I also have experience supporting people people who want to become more successful in their current roles, change careers, or to win a promotion.

Are your emotions telling you something is up? Depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol use could be a sign that some things in your life just aren't where you'd like them to be. Maybe a relationship is unfulfilling or in conflict. Perhaps someone close is using family violence or narcissistic abuse. Perhaps you have lost someone close.

Counsellor, ACA-L3

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. Throw in social media and times everything by ten! I am interested in undertaking therapy with children (5 years 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.

The Counselling Room
Counsellor, MA, PACFA
Verified
I have a deeply-held belief that people don’t stuff up their lives on purpose, and that we are usually doing the very best we can. So I approach counselling with the idea that we have very good reasons what we do. In counselling we do deeper work - I believe that when you treat the cause, rather than the symptoms, then often the symptoms just take care of themselves. I’ve seen this happen so many times. My approach is warm, compassionate, and very calm and gentle. Also, we often laugh during my sessions. I specialise in complex work, and love it when I see people healing and growing. That’s when I do my counsellor happy dance :)

For a variety of reasons, many people in the current era are looking for creative alternatives to standard counselling 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 for you. I offer confidential online 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.

Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA - Clin. Psych

How we feel has a big effect on how we see ourselves, others and our world. These feelings can be frustrating, scary, hurtful or worrying. They can either have been there for most of our lives, gradually crept up on us or come as a result of our current situation. Often, when we are struggling, the most challenging part is not understanding what we are feeling or thinking, understanding why or knowing what to do about it.
Maria Sami
Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA General
Verified
It takes a lot of courage to start therapy. There are often things happening in our life that we don’t want to look at and that we don’t understand but that are having a negative impact on our lives. I aim to provide a warm, accepting and safe environment to allow people to start to make sense of these topics in their life. I seek to adjust the pace of therapy to suit the individual client.
Robyn Bean
Counsellor, MA, PACFA

Are you stuck in a spiral of overthinking, or anxious, self-critical thought loops that just won't give you a break? If you suspect you might be more sensitive than the average person, I can guess at how hard you've already tried to make things better. But being hard on yourself just doesn't work. Instead, I can help you gently explore what's going on inside to find clarity. You can learn to develop an inner "compassionate self" to rely on, one that can take care of suffering in a kind, wise way.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
Some of the most common types of mental health providers in Queensland are psychologists, licensed counsellors, therapists, psychotherapists, and licensed clinical social workers, all of whom diagnose mental health conditions and provide individualised treatment.
Services offered, education, and credentials vary by type of mental health professional. Each professional in Queensland then may specialise in certain areas, such as depression, marriage counselling, or anxiety. Although many mental health providers are not licensed to prescribe medication, they may coordinate with a provider who can.
Both in-person and online therapy sessions are available from most psychologists.

What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in Queensland specialise in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or counsellor who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs.

Can I afford counselling?
Yes. Most counsellors offer reasonable rates or will work on a sliding scale basis. Many accept health insurance. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the counsellor.
