You’ve taken a meaningful first step by landing here.

When life feels heavy — intrusive thoughts that won’t let go, anxiety and worry that loop, panic that arrives out of nowhere, anger that feels too close to the surface, or stress that’s become your normal — it can be hard to know where to start. Many people delay reaching out because they’re used to “pushing through”, or they worry they should be coping better. If that’s you, you’re not alone. Counselling isn’t about being broken. It’s about getting support when your nervous system, your mind, and your life have been carrying too much for too long.

At Blue Healers Counselling, we offer a calm, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk things through and make sense of what’s happening. Some clients arrive with a clear problem they want help with. Others simply know they don’t feel like themselves anymore. Either way, we’ll work with you at a pace that feels manageable. The aim is simple: to help you feel steadier, clearer, and more in control of how you respond to life.

Starting counselling can feel both overwhelming and hopeful. You might be living with uncertainty, fear, frustration, sadness, or exhaustion and wondering how to get back to “you”. In counselling, we slow things down and get practical. We’ll explore what’s driving the distress, what triggers it, and what keeps it going. We’ll identify patterns that may have made sense once (or helped you survive), but now leave you stuck. Then we focus on building skills and insight that translate into real life — not just understanding, but change you can actually feel.

No doctor’s referral is required to book. Sessions are available in person in Graceville (Brisbane) and online.

We are here to help

People seek counselling for many reasons, but some of the most common concerns we support include anxiety and excessive worry, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts and obsessive thinking, stress and burnout, anger and irritability, low mood and depression, trauma and recovery from difficult experiences, relationship strain and interpersonal challenges, and major life transitions where everything feels unsettled.

Our work is person-centred, which means your goals, values and lived experience guide the process. We also use evidence-informed approaches to help you understand what’s happening in your mind and body and to build strategies that fit you. Depending on what you’re facing, this can include learning how anxiety works in the brain and nervous system, strengthening emotional regulation, changing unhelpful thought loops, improving boundaries and communication, and reconnecting with what matters to you so life feels bigger than the symptoms.

If anger has become a problem, we don’t treat you like a “bad person who needs to calm down”. We look at what’s underneath — stress load, overwhelm, threat responses, old protective patterns — and build tools for pausing, grounding, and responding with more choice. If panic is driving things, we focus on regulation and confidence, so your body learns that panic sensations are uncomfortable but not dangerous. If intrusive thoughts are exhausting you, we help you relate differently to your mind so you can stop fighting thoughts all day and get back to living.

Counselling can be a turning point because it gives you a place to be honest — without judgement — and to work toward meaningful, lasting change. You don’t need to hit rock bottom to deserve support. If your mental health is affecting sleep, relationships, work, motivation, or your ability to enjoy life, that’s enough reason to reach out.

Who is counselling for at Blue Healers Counselling?

We support adults, teens, men, first responders, and couples (where relevant). People seek counselling for anxiety, stress, burnout, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, anger, low mood, trauma, relationship strain, and life transitions.

What happens in the first counselling session?

The first session is a chance to slow things down and make sense of what’s been going on. We’ll explore what’s bringing you in, what you want to change, and what support would feel most helpful. We’ll agree on a practical direction together.

How long are sessions and what should I expect afterwards?

Most clients start with 50-minute sessions. You’ll leave with a clearer plan and practical strategies to try between sessions, tailored to what you’re dealing with.

Is counselling confidential?

Yes. Sessions are private and confidential, and we follow professional ethics and privacy requirements. There are a small number of legal and safety limits to confidentiality, which your counsellor will explain clearly.

Do you offer online counselling and does it work?

Yes. We offer online sessions Australia-wide. Online counselling can be just as effective as in-person for many concerns, and it’s a flexible option if travel, schedules, or privacy at home are factors.

Can counselling help with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, panic, or anger?

Yes. Counselling can help you understand what triggers these patterns, how your nervous system responds under stress, and how to build steadier regulation and coping tools. We focus on practical changes you can use in everyday life.

How many sessions will I need?

It varies. Some people come for a short burst of support around a specific issue, while others prefer longer-term work to address deeper patterns. We’ll review progress together and keep the plan aligned with your goals.
