NDIS and private clients welcome
If something’s been building up, this is where you start to sort it out.
A lot of people I work with don’t come in saying they’re struggling.
They say they’re just tired of carrying it.
Something’s been sitting there for a while. Maybe you can name it, maybe you can’t.
You’re still getting through the day, but it’s taking more than it should.
This is where we slow it down and work out what’s actually going on.
This might sound familiar:
You’re getting through the day, but it’s taking more effort than it should
Things changed after an injury or diagnosis and you haven’t felt the same since
You’re dealing with appointments, pressure, and everything piling up
You’re not falling apart, but you’re not okay either
You feel stuck and don’t know how to move forward
You’ve lost a bit of who you were
If that sounds like you, you’re not the only one. And you don’t have to keep carrying it on your own.

What I Can Help With
-
Individual Counselling
One-on-one counselling in Cairns for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Sessions are practical, confidential, and focused on what matters to you.
-
NDIS Counselling
Counselling support for NDIS participants in Cairns and across Australia via telehealth. I work with you and your support network to deliver therapeutic support that fits your plan.
-
Men’s Counselling
A straightforward space for men to talk through what's going on. Whether it's work stress, relationships, identity, or something you haven't been able to put into words yet, you don't have to figure it out alone.
-
Major Life Changes Counselling
A new diagnosis changes things. Your relationships, your routines, your sense of who you are. Counselling can help you make sense of what's shifted and work out where to go from there.
-
Anxiety Counselling
Anxiety can show up in a lot of ways. Constant worry, trouble sleeping, avoiding things you used to manage fine, or just a feeling that something is wrong you cannot quite name. Counselling can help you understand what is driving it and start to get some relief.
About Allan
I’m Allan, a counsellor based in Cairns.
I work with people who are dealing with the pressure that builds up around life changes. Injury, disability, diagnoses, stress, or just that feeling that things aren’t the same anymore.
My approach is practical and down to earth. No jargon. No overcomplicating things.
We focus on what’s actually going on for you, and what helps you move forward in a way that makes sense in your real life.
I usually reply within a few hours. If you’d rather call or text, that’s completely fine.
If this feels like the right fit, you can start with a quick chat.

Private sessions are $95 for a 60-minute session. There's no Medicare rebate available for counselling, but $95 is in line with the gap fee you'd pay to see a social worker or psychologist under Medicare anyway.
For NDIS participants, I work with self-managed and plan-managed clients at NDIS pricing. Get in touch and I can walk you through what that looks like for your plan.

We talk about what's been going on and what you're hoping to get out of counselling. There's no pressure to have it all figured out before you come.
