John Zavaglia (Mind LIfe)
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA Registered, PC Grad MHN & Neuro, MBA
Trauma can continue to affect you long after the experience has passed, leaving you feeling on edge, disconnected or caught in thoughts and memories you can't easily switch off. Together, we can make sense of what you're experiencing, understand your reactions and develop practical ways to feel safer, more grounded and confident as you gradually move forward.

PTSD/Trauma
Ronnie Adamowicz
Therapist, M.A. Psych
work with trauma and PTSD using a somatic, nervous-system-informed approach that recognises how traumatic experiences are held in the body, not just remembered in the mind. Trauma can show up as hypervigilance, emotional numbness, anxiety, shutdown, intrusive memories, or a sense of being stuck in survival mode. These patterns are adaptive responses to overwhelming experiences and deserve care rather than force or re-exposure.
In somatic psychotherapy, we focus on building safety, regulation, and capacity before processing difficult material. Sessions move at a pace guided by your nervous system, helping to restore a sense of choice, embodiment, and stability. Over time, this approach supports integration rather than retraumatisation, allowing symptoms to soften and life to feel more spacious and grounded.
This work can be especially supportive for developmental trauma, complex PTSD, or when trauma is layered with anxiety or depression.

Toowoomba is Australia's second-largest inland city and the regional hub of the Darling Downs, serving a large agricultural hinterland across one of Australia's most productive farming regions, and its mental health landscape reflects both the needs of a regional city and the particular stresses of farming communities navigating drought, financial pressure, and geographic isolation. Darling Downs Health provides public mental health services, and the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) based in Toowoomba contributes trained counsellors and psychologists to the local mental health workforce through its psychology programs. Agricultural stress, the mental health impact of prolonged drought, and the challenges of rural isolation are among the most significant mental health issues in the broader Toowoomba region, and the city serves as the access point for mental health care across a wide rural area. Common therapy concerns include farm and rural stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and the adjustment challenges of agricultural and service sector workers in a regional city.
