Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
Working with the queer community is one of my main focusses. Being part of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I know how important it can be to have a therapist that understands the nuances of living as a queer person in the heteronormative world. I help clients navigate issues around identity, sexuality and relating. Book a free 15 minute phone consult via my website to discuss more.

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.
