Michael Brew
Counsellor/Therapist, Dip(Community Services), Dip(Mental Health)
Parenting can be hard, we don't always have the answers, and for some, children's individual challenges, can push the parental limits.
I will help you understand what it is that's trigging your parental shutdown, and support you to find a more positive approach in guiding and supporting your child/ren to grow in to emotionally healthy adults.

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.
