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

Coast Life Counselling offers a range of integrated therapeutic approaches, including somatic-focused psychotherapy, creative arts therapies, bio-energetics, expressive writing, symbols and imagery-focused therapy and trauma-informed care.
About Somatic-Focused Psychotherapy
Somatic-focused psychotherapy is a holistic approach that considers and incorporates a person's mind, body, energy and emotions in the healing process.
Creative Arts Therapy
The premise is that the creative process supports artistic self-expression which helps individuals resolve conflicts, manage maladaptive behaviour, improve self-esteem and self-awareness and develop interpersonal skills. Creative arts therapy integrates theories of human development, visual arts and the process of creating.
About Bio-Energetic Therapy
It is a form of psychodynamic psychotherapy that incorporates the body and the mind. Bio-energetics helps people release emotions from their bodies which supports positive thinking and living.
Expressive Writing Therapy
Expressive writing comes from the core. It is more personal and emotional, concentrating more on feeling than specific events, memories or objects. It focuses on how one feels rather than the event.
Symbols & Imagery-Focused Therapy
Symbols and imagery reduced from the subconscious can be interpreted within the therapeutic process. Symbols and imagery can help clients search for meaning and definition in their lives.
About Trauma-Informed Care
Supporting clients to find a gentle pathway towards a fuller life while dismantling the impact of trauma and/or abuse.
