Children & Adolescents Therapy

Children & Adolescent Counsellor on the Sunshine Coast 

How We Can Work Together

Coast Life Counselling understands that every young person is unique; they have their own set of strengths, qualities, personality traits and challenges. I understand and appreciate the individual attributes that make each child who they are. 


Working together, we will identify the factors contributing to their difficulties. By gaining a comprehensive understanding of your child's needs, I can provide a tailored treatment plan specifically designed to address their unique situation.


The goal will be to create a safe, nurturing space for your child to flourish, helping them to embark on a transformative journey. Together, you will be able to explore a path that will support your child’s growth, learning and happiness—empowering your child to thrive and flourish in their life.


To enquire about arranging an appointment for your child at our Sunshine Coast clinic, or organise a virtual/telehealth appointment with our counsellor, don’t hesitate to get in touch today. We can schedule a 15-minute consultation call to make sure this is the right fit for your child. Call 0423 695 908

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does symbols and imagery-focused therapy work?

    Symbols and imagery-focused therapy is an approach that uses symbols, metaphors and images to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours. This type of therapy can help bring clarity to difficult experiences and foster insight into the root cause of distress. It can also help clients make connections between their past and present to further develop self-awareness and understanding.

  • What is trauma-informed care?

    Yes, I offer counselling for adults  on the Sunshine Coast. I provide a safe, respectful and non-judgemental environment in which we can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences and uncover new strategies for managing life’s challenges. Contact me today to learn more.
