Hello! I’m Kristal, a registered counsellor and professional supervisor I strongly value authenticity, honesty, trust and compassion. I embody these values both personally and professionally, ensuring that my clients receive unconditional positive regard.

We are a team of dedicated therapists with a wide range of training and special interests, who work with clients from young children to older adults. In the health industry and particularly within mental health care, we understand the relationship between yourself and your therapist is crucial in working to achieve your goals - which is why safety, connection and attunement are at the core of our practice. All of our therapists are highly trained and use evidence based treatments such as CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR and Schema Therapy. We offer individual and group therapy as well as assessments for learning difficulties, ADHD and Autism.

Dealing with the effects of trauma, the complexities of ADHD/ASD, or the constant drain of anxiety/stress needs more than just deep breaths and mindfulness. If you're getting sick of generic advice, I get it, and while I can't promise I'll never recommend taking a deep breath, I can promise that our work together will go a lot further than just calming strategies. No more band-aid solutions; I want to help you to permanently solve your problems by addressing their root causes. Sometimes that requires looking at the past, sometimes it's all about skill-building for the future, and often, it's a combination of both.

I work with people experiencing various psychological difficulties including anxiety and depression, trauma, issues with impulsivity and abandonment, grief and loss, difficulty coping with emotions, overwhelming stress, and low self-esteem. I work with individuals in a non-judgemental, warm, enthusiastic, and collaborative manner to assist them with achieving their therapeutic goals and help them live valued and meaningful lives. I also accept Workcover QLD referrals.

We are innately equipped for both struggle and connection, essential for enhancing our life experiences in areas like relationships, work, parenting, and beyond. Recognising the impact of adversity, it's important to understand how it shapes our emotional experiences and reactions. Adversity manifests in various ways, influencing our ability to express and process emotions across the spectrum - from joy and happiness to sadness and fear. Our team provides a supportive space that fosters a safe, warm, and empathetic environment where you can openly explore and discuss your personal experiences, through trauma-informed perspectives.

FACT IS: "It's not a matter of IF life will throw obstacles and hurdles at you... it's WHEN." For 20 years I have been counselling people from all walks of life (CEOs, surgeons and psychologists through to miners, call centre staff, managers and cleaners). And what I've noticed is how many people struggle with their relationships - that could be the relationship with their partner, their child, their parents, their co-workers, their mates or the biggest and most important relationship of them all... THEMSELVES! Now, they don't always know it's their relationship at first, because it might look like stress, conflict, anxiety, etc.

Hi, I'm Umesh Shah, a dedicated professional with almost a decade of experience in the mental health field. My journey has taken me from Nepal to Australia, where I've made it my mission to support individuals from diverse backgrounds in their mental health journeys. My career began as a Social Worker, and I later became a licensed Psychologist. I've had the privilege of working in both the public and private sectors across Victoria and Queensland. (For more information please visit “Verve Psychology—Redlands Coast” website at www.vervepsychology.com.au).

It takes a lot of courage to start therapy. I aim to provide a warm, accepting and safe environment to allow people to start to make sense of difficult topics in their life. I offer a comprehensive approach to assessing and treating a range of mental health disorders. From mood disorders to anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma symptoms including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and stress related to life changes or work.

I believe that anyone can benefit from psychological support and coaching. You don’t need to be ‘disordered’ to see a psychologist. What you can expect when you work with me is that I consider the relationship between the mind, body and brain in my approach. I also strongly focus on the therapeutic relationship; you need to feel comfortable with your therapist in order to maximise your outcomes from the sessions. I can help with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, self-confidence, ADHD and Autism. I work with adolescents and adults. I also work through a cultural lens and understand the Asian immigrant experience.
