Life can become overwhelming. Anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, self-doubt and stress can leave you feeling stuck and disconnected from the person you want to be.
I'm John Zavaglia, Registered Mental Health Counsellor and Founder of Mind Life. I help adults develop practical tools to understand their thoughts, strengthen resilience and create meaningful change. While I work with both men and women, I have a particular passion for Men's Mental Health and supporting men through challenges involving identity, confidence, anxiety, depression and addiction.
If you're ready to take the first step, I invite you to reach out for a friendly, obligation-free conversation. Together, we can begin to Untangle Your Mind.

+ 2 moreAre you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in the same emotional patterns — even though you’re trying to move forward? You don’t have to keep figuring this out on your own.
I work with people who are often high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel:
• anxious or constantly overthinking
• emotionally drained or reactive
• stuck in relationship patterns
• unsure how to break the cycle
I’m Rebecca Small, a counsellor and psychotherapist, and I take a practical but deeper approach to therapy.
That means we don’t just talk about what’s happening — we work to understand why it’s happening and give you tools to shift it.
My work focuses on:
• regulating your nervous system
• identifying and rewiring core beliefs
• improving communication and boundaries
• helping you feel more grounded, confident, and in control
I bring together a background in psychology, counselling, coaching, and health to support lasting, meaningful change — not just short-term relief.
Together, we can work on:
✔ Anxiety, overthinking, and emotional overwhelm
✔ Relationship challenges and communication issues
✔ Trauma and unresolved emotional patterns
✔ Self-doubt, people-pleasing, and perfectionism
✔ Building confidence, boundaries, and self-trust
✔ Depression, stress, and feeling stuck
I offer a space that is warm, grounded, and non-judgemental — but also focused and forward-moving. I will support you, but I will also gently guide and challenge you so you don’t stay stuck in the same loops.
I currently have limited availability but always try to offer appointments within the same week.
Sessions are $165 for 50 minutes via telehealth.
The easiest next step is to book a short connection call so we can discuss what’s going on for you and see if we’re the right fit: https://calendly.com/rebeccasmall/connection-call

WHY HYPNOTHERAPY?
In the state of hypnosis, we can work directly with the subconscious mind bypassing the conscious, critical thinking mind and get those positive suggestions, thoughts and imagery where they need to be, to create lasting change. It’s our conscious mind that creates barriers to our healing, so we need to access that deeper part of our mind for true benefit.
Often my clients have been seeing psychologists and other mental health professionals for years with no real impact so decide to give hypnotherapy a go. They are often surprised when they experience very quick breakthroughs and realizations from their issues and are able to move forward positively with their lives free from the restriction of stress and anxiety.
This is because in hypnosis, we work with the WHOLE MIND. We can talk directly with the subconscious mind and get to all those core beliefs, habits, patterns and hidden blocks that are keeping us stuck in the past. Once these are bought to the awareness of the conscious mind, then true change can happen.
I use an intuitive mix of NLP, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, theta healing, tapping and EMDR in the sessions. Standard counselling sessions are also available for those that just need to talk through some things and gain some clarity about their life.
Suite 3/ 19 Short St Southport QLD and I also offer online appointments via Telehealth.

FAQs
Individual counselling in Brighton typically costs between $110 and $210 per session, with fees varying based on the practitioner's qualifications, experience, and session format. Registered psychologists generally charge at the higher end of the scale, while counsellors without AHPRA registration often offer more accessible pricing. If your GP refers you to a registered psychologist under a Mental Health Treatment Plan, you may be able to claim a Medicare rebate, which reduces your out-of-pocket expense. It's always worth asking practitioners about their fee structure and whether any concession or sliding-scale rates apply.
