Counselling in Surfers Paradise, QLD

Greetings, and thank you for searching for some assistance, to help you to reach the goal(s) or solve the problem(s) you may be struggling with. As a mature experienced psychologist who grew up in differing cultures and loves her job, my method is to listen and explore with kindness and compassion so you can address the cause and maintenance of your problem, for without a good assessment the treatment can be wrong. Original and current unhelpful coping is identified and better ways to evaluate and problem solve are found. Although therapy can be difficult, I try to make it as fun as possible!
