Counselling for Mental Health Well-Being

 At Obsidian Counselling we offer professional, confidential*, individual and group counselling by our Registered Counsellor Carolyn, using evidence based therapeutic techniques to 

enhance your mental health well-being. 

Speaking with a Registered Counsellor does not require a visit to your GP or a mental health care plan  

prior to making an appointment...you can SELF REFER.

 Obsidian Counselling has an holistic view of mental health well-being where the interconnection of the biological, psychological and social aspects of your life may disrupt your mental health well-being. We look at the whole person rather than just your symptoms to work with you to achieve your goals. 

...I believe that you are the expert in your own life, but sometimes 

things can get a bit muddy and we get stuck, and you just need 

someone who will really listen to you and assist you to 

see everything from a different perspective, Carolyn

My vision for Obsidian Counselling for Mental Health Well-Being is to provide a warm, welcoming, accepting, non-judgemental, caring and safe space for all my clients, where you are free to be who you truly are. 

Everyone is welcome at Obsidian Counselling.

 A further vision is to enhance the mental health and well-being of the LGBTIQ+ communities,

their allies, families and friends on the Sunshine Coast by offering individual and group counselling. 

 Please Note:  You do NOT need a referral from your GP or a Mental Health Care Plan to see a Registered Counsellor, you can self-refer. See FAQs for further information.

"...one of the things I hear from clients is that they feel frustrated they have to spend their session time explaining to mental health professionals what certain terms mean in relation to identifying from the LGBTIQ+ communities. Whilst I can't claim to know everything, I will take the time between sessions to research the topics discussed, to gain a better understanding, so my clients can spend their valuable time discussing what they want."
