Surfcoast Counselling
There are many reasons why you may have found your way here. Things may have become too difficult to manage or are so distressing; it may be too much to endure alone. I maintain a strong belief that we all have the resources within us to make the necessary changes required to face even the most difficult life challenges.

It is my intention to support you to identify and implement those changes you consider important to enable you to move forward in life. Depression is often characterised by extended periods of feeling sad, moody, irritable or low.

My career as a professional carer began soon after I left secondary school when I studied to become a Registered Nurse. I worked in a variety of fields and eventually specialised in Oncology, a field I loved because of the deep connections established between the staff and clients during such intensely confronting life experiences.
The process involves getting to know each other in order to feel comfortable discussing the private issues of the client. Counselling is a process that focuses on enhancing the individuals self-awareness and well-being, assisting people in realising their full potential. Counselling is the therapeutic relationship established between a qualified counsellor and their client.
Depression is often characterised by extended periods of feeling sad, moody, irritable or low, often without any apparent reason. Depression is more than just a low mood; it is a serious disorder which impacts mental and physical health. Depression affects how people feel about themselves.

Thoughts can be overly critical and frequently there is an inability to enjoy life, a loss of interest in usual activities and feelings of pessimism regarding the future.Persistent and intense negative feelings can cause people to feel insecure and isolated. It is an incorrect assumption to think depression can be "shaken off" and there is growing clinical research to support counselling as an effective means of improving many of its symptoms.
