Alcohol and Drug Counselling

Sunshine Coast and Telehealth

Evidence-based, non-judgemental support for adults concerned about their alcohol or other drug use

I’m a registered psychologist with 15 + years experience working specifically in providing alcohol and other drug (AOD) assessments and counselling. 

 

Whether your goal is to stop, cut-back, or have a break, having a thorough understanding of your substance use is vital.

 

We will work together at your pace on your goals. 

I  offer in-person sessions in Peregian Springs (Sunshine Coast) and telehealth across Queensland and Australia.

Who I Work With

​​​​I work with adults (18+) on the Sunshine Coast and across Australia via telehealth who are:

  • Using alcohol or other drugs to cope.

  • Unsure whether it is “bad enough,” but noticing effects on sleep, mood, relationships, work or study, or experiencing legal difficulties.

  • Wanting to cut back, take a break or stop.

  • Seeking relapse-prevention support after treatment, detox or a period of change.

​

Our Work May Include:

  • Exploring and strengthening your own reasons for change.

  • Working with thoughts, emotions and behaviour patterns that influence substance use.

  • Support for underlying mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, past experiences, and chronic pain.

  • Finding the right strategies that meet your substance use goals.

 

If you’re unsure whether I’m the right person, we can talk this through in an initial appointment.​​​​​

My Experience with Alcohol and Other Drug Issues

​​I’ve worked in community and inpatient mental health settings since 2006, and have supported people with alcohol and other drug concerns since 2010, including in:

  • Community alcohol and other drug (AOD) services.

  • Inpatient hospital units.

  • Forensic and correctional settings.

​

This background helps me understand the medical, psychological, legal and social risks that can come with substance use, and to work safely alongside your General Practitioner (GP) and other supports when needed.​
