My focus and interest is in working with all people by treating the person through counselling, to support clients in the area of their lives that may be presenting at that time as an ‘issue’, from there the focus is not on the issue itself, but on the whole person.

Shannon has a beautiful gift for listening and holding space for you as you unravel any knots showing up in life. Her ability to read the situation you are in and guide you to clarity has brought a lot of peace to myself and others in my life.
Charlie
Shannon creates a safe, nurturing and expansive environment. I always feel like I float out of our sessions together and continue to peel back layers and discover more about myself. I would highly recommend Shannon and have recommended to multiple of my friends who are also raving fans. More...

Sarah
Relationship and Marriage Counselling
I contacted Shannon with the hopes of finding someone to help deal with a challenging time in my life including postnatal depression. Shannon has been wonderful with listening to me and helping me by showing me new skills to cope with challenging times. I truly recommend her and could not thank her enough for all she has done and continues to do for me. More...
Jade
Relationship and Marriage Counselling
Would highly recommend Shannon. My partner and I have had 3 couples counselling sessions so far and we have already seen significant positive changes in the way we communicate with each other. Shannon is extremely empathetic, caring and non judgmental in her approach which made us feel safe and comfortable to share our thoughts and feelings. We always look forward to our sessions with Shannon which says a lot! More...

What do you love most about your job?
Supporting clients to re-connect with their strengths through strengths based counselling.
What inspired you to start your own business?
This always seemed like the direction to go in and it has proved to be a great choice, their is lots of flexibility in what you can offer to clients through working in private practice including a greater range of hours available to offer to clients, eg, early morning, evenings and/or weekends. I work from a clinic at Varsity Lakes on the Gold Coast as well as at home at Tamborine Mountain, with online sessions included.
Why should our clients choose you?
A client would benefit from discerning who is right for them in terms of support by getting a feel for the counsellor and asking questions around the counsellors approach to counselling. I would recommend having a brief phone conversation to determine if this would support the client. I offer free 15 minute consults, ph: 0484 621 343.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I do a lot of online and remote work. If a client would like this type of counselling this can be accessed online/remotely via Zoom, a meeting link is sent out to the client. Skype is also possible or by phone.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Online/telehealth bookings, in the clinic environment wearing masks, social distancing, covid screening pre-appointment, not attending the clinic in person if signs/symptoms are present.
