Welcome to Joanne Maughan Counselling & Coaching Caloundra

My counselling services are ideal for individuals and couples who are navigating:

• Sudden Traumatic Grief, loss, 

• Life transitions - Separation, divorce
   
• Emotional overwhelm and stress
   
• Relationship breakdowns and communication struggles
   
• Low self-esteem and self-worth
   
• Identity crisis or midlife confusion
   
• Trauma or past events that still affect you today
   
• Thoughts of hopelessness or suicide ideation
   

You don’t need to have a clear diagnosis or “big reason” to reach out. If something doesn’t feel right, that’s enough.

You are welcome here — just as you are.

Counselling with me is calm, confidential, and client-led.

I combine work drawing from a range of evidence-based therapies including Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Psychoeducation, and Mindfulness-based approaches. I also incorporates elements of Gestalt and Psychodynamic practice, adapting her method to meet you exactly where you are. 

• I walk beside you without judgement
   
• I hold space for your emotions — no matter how messy or complex
   
• I help you understand patterns, triggers, and emotional responses
   
• I gently support you in finding tools, emotional awareness, and ways forward
   

You are the expert of your own life — I simply walk alongside you.

I am an ACA Registered Counsellor, a certified Master Practitioner of Life Coaching (ICF trained), completing further studies in psychology and counselling and work in suicide prevention.

I bring together therapeutic insight, lived experience, and emotional safety to create a space where real healing and growth can happen.

All sessions are confidential and professionally supported.
