Jo provides counselling support for children and adolescents experiencing emotional, behavioural or social challenges. She understands that young people often communicate distress through behaviour, withdrawal, anxiety, anger or school difficulties. Using attachment-informed, developmentally appropriate and play-based approaches, Jo creates a safe and engaging space where children and teens can express themselves, build emotional regulation skills and strengthen confidence. She works collaboratively with parents to deepen understanding, improve communication and foster secure, supportive family relationships. Jo’s approach focuses on connection first, helping young people feel seen, understood and equipped to explore life’s challenges.

Mindnest Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Couns
Supporting children and teenagers through emotional struggles, school stress, anxiety, or behavioural challenges takes a different approach than adult counselling. I work with young people from toddlers through to teens using age-appropriate, play-informed, and strength-based methods, and I support parents alongside their children where helpful.

Children & Adolescent Coaching – Complimentary Consultation
Is your child or teenager struggling with ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence?
Young people with ADHD, autism or learning differences often experience challenges with focus, organisation, emotional regulation and school demands. Difficulties with study and revision skills are often linked to executive function development, and many young people also struggle with confidence, social interaction and communication.
Through specialist coaching, I work directly with children and adolescents to strengthen executive function skills such as planning, organisation, study and revision strategies, sustained attention and task completion. We also work on emotional regulation, confidence, and developing stronger social and communication skills.
I support parents as well, helping them better understand their child’s needs and offering practical guidance that strengthens communication and support at home and in school.
Book a complimentary consultation to explore how we can support your child’s development, learning and wellbeing.

Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
My aimis to create a protected space where teens (over 13) can explore whatever is going on for them, without feeling judged or that they are expected to perform in some way. I combine clinical experience with with meditation and mindfulness to give the young people I work with something special, the opportunity to find their own sense of direction in the company of a supportive ally, eliminating that which is no longer relevant in their lives while developing new strengths.

The Gold Coast's reputation as a lifestyle destination can obscure real mental health challenges tied to precarious hospitality employment, seasonal work patterns, and the psychological pressure of a culture that prizes physical appearance and outdoor performance. The city draws many young people relocating from elsewhere in Australia, and therapists frequently work with the isolation and adjustment challenges that come with starting fresh in a new city without established networks. Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service provides public mental health resources, while a growing private therapy community serves residents across Burleigh Heads, Broadbeach, and Robina. The city's proximity to Brisbane means some residents also access specialist care in the larger metro.
