Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
Addiction is a physiological process. It doesn't happen because you are 'weak', 'defective', or in some way inferior. In addressing addictions, I draw upon physiology and neurobiology to understand how it happens and how it can be overcome. Acknowledging the addiction and the role it is playing in your life is often the first step in addressing what lies underneath it: for example, depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma. I then use my integrative psychotherapy approach to collaborate with you in a unique treatment approach that fits your exact needs.

Rob McClintock Counselling
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Dip Counselling ACA, Clinical Hypnotherapist ASCH,
As a survivor of addiction myself, I understand the shame, desperation, and seemingly endless cycle that keeps you trapped. My specialized approach to addiction recovery goes beyond willpower and surface-level strategies. Using Subconscious Dynamics™, I help you identify and transform the underlying emotional patterns, triggers, and beliefs that drive addictive behaviours. This holistic, medication-free method addresses the root causes - trauma, unresolved pain, and limiting beliefs - rather than just managing symptoms. My clients often experience breakthrough moments within weeks, breaking free from addictions to alcohol, drugs, and gambling that have controlled their lives for years. Recovery is possible, and I have the personal experience and professional tools to guide you there.

My mission is to enrich and empower the lives of others through creativity and connection.

Townsville is the largest city in tropical North Queensland — a military, agricultural, and mining hub built around Lavarack Barracks (home to the Army's 3rd Brigade), James Cook University, and a regional healthcare system serving a vast geographic area. The city's significant Australian Army presence creates therapy demand from military families navigating deployment stress and the emotional challenges of service life, while the broader civilian population navigates the economic cycles of mining and agriculture. Townsville University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while James Cook University's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local and regional community. Townsville's tropical climate and geographic isolation — it is the largest city between Brisbane and Darwin — mean therapists serve clients from a very wide catchment, and telehealth plays an important role in extending care across North Queensland.
