Woman Smiling And Flowers - Adult Therapy on Wurtulla, QLD

Registered Counsellor, Mental Health & Wellness Clinician & Expressive Arts Therapist

Here to help you find balance, build strength and embrace growth.


Hi, I’m Kerri Bower—registered counsellor, mental health and wellness clinician and expressive arts therapist at Coast Life Counselling offering therapy on the Sunshine Coast.


As a counsellor, I have supported many adults and young people challenged by grief and loss, family dynamics, life transitions, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, rumination, sexual abuse, domestic violence and addiction to reconnect with their authentic self and life’s purpose. 


I understand the mind-body-emotion connection and will work with you holistically. I will encourage and support you to explore different areas of your life, understand your emotions and reactions and develop skills to help you remain balanced and healthy.  


I also believe in the lighter phases of clinical work that energise collaborative spirits to talk shop and allow one's sense of humour to emerge from within oneself. So, I will support you to reconnect with self, your full realm of senses and your humour—all of which will help you to become fully engaged in your life. I would love the opportunity to work together.

Woman Smiling And Flowrs - Adult Therapy on Wurtulla, QLD

Hi, I’m Kerri Bower—Registered Counsellor, Supervisor & Integrated Wellness Clinician, and founder of Coast Life Counselling, providing therapy on the Sunshine Coast.


I work with adults, adolescents, and children navigating a wide range of challenges, including grief and loss, family and relationship dynamics, life transitions, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, rumination, sexual abuse, domestic violence, and addiction. My approach is holistic and person-centred, integrating evidence-based therapeutic modalities—such as narrative, solution-focused, strength-based techniques, mindfulness too expressive arts therapy —to support you in reconnecting with your authentic self, exploring your emotions, and developing practical, sustainable skills for wellbeing and resilience.


I understand the intricate connection between mind, body, and emotion, and take a whole-person approach to care. Together, we explore your life experiences, identify your strengths, and establish meaningful goals, empowering you to navigate challenges with clarity, confidence, and hope. I also value the lighter, energising moments of therapy—the humour, creativity, and collaboration that can reignite your spirit and remind you of the joy in life.


My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can reconnect with yourself, your inner wisdom, and your full range of senses. Through this partnership, you can cultivate balance, resilience, and deeper engagement with life. I would be honoured to support you on your journey.

Personalised Support



Registered Counsellor, Supervisor & Integrative Wellness Practitioner 

I provide a safe, supportive, and attuned therapeutic presence, accompanying you as we navigate the complexities and transitions of life. You will receive empathic, authentic, and consistent guidance, with a focus on active listening, non-judgmental reflection, and the development of adaptive coping strategies to address presenting concerns, underlying psychosocial contributors, and personal goals.


Together, we can explore and integrate aspects of self that may have been disrupted, neglected, or traumatised, approaching each area with curiosity, compassion, and acceptance. This process facilitates the emergence of innate strengths, adaptive capacities, and resilience.


Through a collaborative, client-centred approach, we examine the interconnections among the emotional, cognitive, somatic, relational, and spiritual dimensions of your experience, identifying practical interventions and evidence-informed strategies to enhance self-awareness, emotional regulation, and psychological well-being.


I offer flexible modalities, including in-person sessions and virtual therapy, ensuring accessibility and tailored care for each individual.

What people say about working together

Kerri is an amazing person to work with, she is a master in her field. I am so grateful to have her in my life, and she has essentially saved my life. I knew from our first session that she was very kind, knowledgeable and skilled. Kerri cuts below the surface to see the underlying issues that are driving my behaviours, thoughts and emotions. The sessions are dynamic, and her approach is warm, inquiring and also with humour. 


She is very likeable.I trust her, and she understands me and my life experiences. Kerri keeps me on task, when I meander off, rationalise, use words so I dont have to feel anything. Here is the thing, you will feel things, and from this there is healing within and change that require no words..


I have had many breakthroughs and am experiencing, joy, stillness and a sense of wholeness. I am learning to trust and believe in myself, and let down my walls, and see my strength and the beauty in life. I am also learning that I have suffered enough, emotional pain and torment is no way to live for any human being.


So with Kerri as my guide I am forging a new road ahead, that is brighter, clearer, and more positive.


(Also you can be having a tough time in the world, but if you back yourself and retain a sense of self, life feels easier).


Sarah - Sunshine Coast

I have been seeing Kerri now for some months. Due to anxiety and depression, linked to Chronic fatigue syndrome and a marriage break up.  I have had counselling in the past but no one has come close to helping me deal with my issues like Kerri has.  She builds rapport very quickly, she is warm, empathetic and approaches my issues with sensitivity and positivity. Kerri has helped me understand that life is not all doom and gloom.  I would highly recommend Kerry as a counsellor, for any issues you may have, especially in the difficult times we live in.


Michael - Glass House Mountains

I have been working with Kerri for some months now and originally went to her, to learn how to, better support my young daughter, post a domestic violence situation. Kerri is one of the most uplifting individuals I have been privileged to meet, she is empathetic, kind and incredibly in tune with me as her client.  


She is like confiding in a friend who really cares about you, however you walk away thinking her advice is so practical and sensible. She facilitates the opportunity to look at things from different angles while allowing me to think for myself.


I would highly recommend Kerry if you have any issues in your life no matter how big or small, to receive clarity or gain confidence to move forward in your life, Kerry can really help.


Jacqui - Sunshine Coast

I recently had occasion to seek counselling from Kerri Bower and I was so impressed with the ease in which we were able to communicate, her quick grasp of the problems presented to her and the clarity in which she explained possible causes and solutions to these problems. Her method of demonstrating through illustrations and actions, rather than through unnecessary and sometimes confusing dialogue made the process so much easier to relate to and very helpful to review at a later time. Kerri’s bubbly personality and her obvious genuine interest in helping people made me feel very comfortable and I would have absolutely no hesitation in using her services again and highly commending her to anyone who seeks short-term or long-term assistance.


Heather - Sunshine Coast

Kerri is incredibly warm, welcoming and truly there for her clients.In the last 12 months I've had more questions answered and more "light bulb" moments than I have in the last 7 years of searching for a counselor. Kerri has and continues to change my life dramatically and is brings back my quality of life.  She is incredibly open minded, non-judgmental and I've recommended her to several people in my personal life. I couldn't be any happier! Definitely recommend
