Whether you are looking to repair a relationship or strengthen an existing one, our couples counselling services can help you build the skills needed for a healthy, satisfying, and long-lasting connection. Our experienced therapist, Sarah, understands the trials and tribulations of parenting, as she is a mother of four herself. She provides non-judgmental support for your parenting concerns, offering a safe space to talk and the reassurance that you are not alone.

Dealing with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship breakdown, and stress can be overwhelming and isolating. We understand the difficulties you may face and are here to help. Our professional Counsellor and Clinical Psychotherapist can provide the guidance and support you need to navigate through these challenges.

Choosing a counsellor is a personal decision, and we understand that you may feel hesitant or anxious about attending counselling. That's why we provide a safe, private, and confidential environment for clients to explore their issues. Our practice is conveniently located in Tweed Heads, serving clients from the Tweed Coast and Gold Coast areas. Sarah's gentle and respectful approach aims to increase self-awareness, relieve confusion, and foster self-acceptance.

Sarah holds a Masters in Gestalt Psychotherapy, specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, and a Diploma of Applied Science in Community and Human Services. She is a Clinical member of PACFA and a member of GANZ, ACEFT, and ICEEFT, ensuring ethical and professional practices in her work. With over two decades of experience in the social work field, you can trust in Sarah's expertise.

At Counselling on the Coast, we believe that relationships are fundamental to a fulfilling and happy life. Whether it's our relationship with ourselves, our families, friends, work, or the community, nurturing these connections is essential for contentment. Research shows that having language to express our feelings supports clarity and understanding. Together, we can find solutions to create long-term sustainable change within your relationships, both with yourself and others, through your emotions.

Psychotherapy, the main focus of our practice, delves into the present thoughts, feelings, and situations of clients. It provides a safe space for exploration and expanding awareness of how one feels and acts. Sarah's approach encourages experiential learning, allowing clients to truly feel their experiences and gain a deeper understanding of their relationships with themselves and others. This process generates more effective solutions, leading to sustainable change and transformation.

In psychotherapy, the therapeutic relationship is seen as a healing relationship. Recent research in Neuroscience supports this view, revealing that a supportive and understanding relationship can reshape a person's neurological possibilities. With the right environment, change is possible. That's why investing in therapy today is a commitment to yourself that will yield rewards for years to come.

It's never too late to take the first step towards building the bright and happy future you deserve. We look forward to connecting with you and working together to address your concerns in a safe and comfortable environment.
