trauma therapy for
people on the sunshine coast
(Supporting you with childhood trauma, religious trauma and difficult life experiences with clarity, compassion and connection.)
you’re welcome here
Hey there, I’m Sam.
I’m a Level 2 ACA Registered Counsellor based on the Sunshine Coast, and I provide online trauma therapy for people across the Sunshine Coast, regional Queensland, and throughout Australia who have been through really hard and overwhelming experiences, including childhood trauma.
As someone who lives and works on the Sunshine Coast, there's something especially meaningful to me about supporting people in the local community and surrounding areas.
I help people make sense of what they’ve been through, understand their patterns, and move towards healing in a way that feels safe and manageable. Healing is possible, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now.
I’ve worked in the trauma space for over 20 years, and I understand how heavy it can feel to carry all of this on your own.
You don’t have to do this alone. Together, we create a space where you can explore your story safely, at your own pace.
My work is trauma-informed and relational, and I often draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you explore your inner world with curiosity, care, and self-acceptance.
online therapy (telehealth)
Online therapy allows you to access support from anywhere across the Sunshine Coast, whether you're in Maroochydore, Noosa, Caloundra, the hinterland, or somewhere in between.
Rather than spending time travelling, you can connect with your therapist from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
Online therapy can be especially helpful if you're balancing work, family responsibilities, study, health challenges, or simply prefer being in a familiar environment during sessions.
Benefits of Virtual Therapy:
feel more comfortable, cozy, and safe
no travel or waiting rooms
flexible and accessible sessions
show up as you are, with a cup of tea and fidget toys if needed
how i can support people on the sunshine coast
Therapy for
childhood trauma
Counselling support for Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse and Childhood Trauma, including Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA), helping you move from feeling overwhelmed by your past to feeling more grounded, understood, and hopeful about healing.
Therapy for religious + spiritual trauma
Counselling support for people healing from Religious Trauma and experiences in high-control environments, including Pentecostal church settings and MLMs, helping you move from confusion, self-doubt, and disconnection toward clarity, self-trust, and a stronger sense of who you are.
neuro-affirming therapy
Counselling support for late-diagnosed or self-diagnosed adults with Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD, offering a neuro-affirming approach that sees neurodivergence as a natural variation rather than a deficit, helping you move from masking and self-doubt toward self-acceptance, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.
supporting people across the sunshine coast
Being based on the Sunshine Coast, I support people across the region through online therapy, including the coast, the hinterland, and surrounding communities.
Whether you're in Noosa, Peregian Springs, Coolum Beach, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Buderim, Caloundra, Nambour, Maleny, Montville, Beerwah, or somewhere nearby, you can access therapy from wherever feels most comfortable and convenient for you.
You might be looking for support if you're:
feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted
carrying the impact of childhood trauma or difficult life experiences
struggling with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt
feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating
navigating religious trauma, identity shifts, or questions about who you are
wanting a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences
starting therapy
Reaching out can feel like a big step. I know how nerve-wracking it might feel.
But just so you know:
You don’t need to have the right words (that’s kind of my job!).
You don’t need to have it all figured out (we’ll get there together!).
And you certainly don’t need to talk about your trauma (until you’re ready).
You’re allowed to come exactly as you are.
When you feel ready, you can book a session below — there’s also an option for a free 15-minute meet & greet if you’d prefer to start there.
Or, if you’d like to know a little more first, you can visit the FAQ.
