RAISE Counselling and Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MCouns, BComm, GradCertDevTrauma, DipCommWelf, DipCommServ
Jo works with highly sensitive individuals who experience emotions, sensory input and relational dynamics deeply. She recognises that being highly sensitive can be both a strength and a challenge, often accompanied by overwhelm, anxiety, people-pleasing or burnout. Using emotionally focused and evidence-informed approaches, Jo helps clients understand their nervous system, set healthy boundaries and develop self-compassion. Therapy focuses on embracing sensitivity as a strength while building practical strategies for regulation, confidence and balance.

Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.

Alicia Adam
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters of Psychotherapy and Counselling, Bachelors of Psychology
Highly Sensitive People (HSP) seem to soak up the experiences of all those around them. This can lead to chronic feelings of exhaustion in mind, body and spirit. You bring your experience of a HSP to me and we will work through it together. This may look like learning how to create boundaries that fit your values & strengthening your understanding of what self care feels like to you.

Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
Highly sensitive individuals often react intensely to internal and external stimuli, much like those who’ve experienced complex trauma. That is, for example, with increased emotional sensitivity and stronger reactivity to both internal and external stimuli—pain, hunger, light, and noise. I’ve found that trauma-informed therapies, along with mindfulness and clinical expertise, are particularly effective in supporting highly sensitive people. My goal is to help you thrive authentically, rather than conform to conventional expectations.

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.
