Hi, I'm Dana, I provide counselling services on the Sunshine Coast for young people from12-19, parents, and individuals.
I can assist teenagers in understanding their emotions and develop positive strategies they can use to manage such issues as:
anxiety,
school,
work pressures,
family dynamics,
life transitions,
trauma.
Additionally, assisting parents who are feeling disconnected from their child, struggle to be present and who are feeling overwhelmed with trying to juggle parenting, being a partner, working and the rest of what life throws at us along the way.
I can also help you as an individual to deal with the many of life's pressures, including anxiety, trauma and relationships.
For most of us it is very important to have someone to talk to, however, sometimes those closest to us are not able to provide the support, comfort, and guidance we desire. I understand this and will work with you to build a safe relationship and environment to express yourself. By considering your values, existing strengths, as well as ensuring that you are included in the decision-making process and acknowledging you as the expert in your life. My aim is to work with you to develop positive coping skills that you can use to achieve your goals and deal with life’s encounters.
Understanding that the traditional therapy space can be triggering or 'off putting' for some people has also led me to tailor a 'safe space' for you. The Sunshine Coast has many wonderful spaces for people to talk about their concerns and discuss strategies in a variety of ways - the local park with a coffee, walking along your favourite beach and maybe kicking a ball, to name a few.
I am also a registered provider with Workcover QLD and can accept NDIS participants.
