Life doesn't always give you a warning before things get heavy.
Sometimes the pressure creeps in slowly; sometimes it lands all at once.
Either way, you don't have to figure it out on your own.
​
I'm Kelvin, and I offer warm, practical, evidence-based counselling on the Sunshine Coast and online via telehealth across Australia.
​
Let me help you move forward.
Individual Counselling
Anxiety that won't switch off.
A low mood that colours everything.
Stress that follows you into your sleep.
When your own thoughts feel like the loudest thing in the room, it's exhausting — and it's easy to believe you should just push through.
You don't have to.
What this service involves
Individual counselling is a one-to-one space where we work through what's weighing on you. We start by understanding what you're facing, then draw on proven methods matched to your situation — not a template. Depending on what you need, that might include cognitive behavioural approaches, trauma-informed care, or practical tools you can use between sessions.
Who it's for
-
Anyone facing anxiety, depression or ongoing stress
 -
People working through grief, loss or a major life change
 -
Those carrying trauma they've never fully unpacked
 -
Anyone who simply feels stuck and wants a clear way forward

What To Expect
Your first session is about getting to know you and what brought you here.
Â
There's no pressure to explain everything at once. From there, we build a plan together and move at a pace that feels right.
Â
You'll leave with practical steps, clearer thinking, and a sense that you're no longer facing it alone.
Why choose Kelvin for this
With a Bachelor of Psychology, a Master of Counselling, and years working in mining and construction.
Â
I bring both clinical expertise and real-world experience to every session — meeting you as a person, not a case file.
Relationship Counselling
The same argument on repeat. Silence where there used to be closeness. You still care about each other - you've just lost the words to reach across the gap. When that distance sets in, it can feel like you're speaking two different languages.
What this service involves
Relationship counselling gives you both a fair, balanced space to be heard.
I don't take sides. Instead, I help you slow the conversation down, understand what's really being said beneath the frustration, and rebuild communication that actually connects. We focus on patterns, not blame.
Who it's for
-
Couples who keep having the same fight and want a way out of it
-
Partners feeling more like housemates than a team
-
Couples navigating a big transition - new baby, relocation, career change
-
Anyone wanting to decide their next step with honesty and care
What to expect
Early sessions map out where the friction sits and what each of you needs.
Â
From there, we work on tools you can use in real conversations - not just in the room with me. Some couples rebuild closeness; others find clarity about the way forward. Either way, you'll both feel genuinely listened to.
Why choose Kelvin for this
My Master of Counselling gives me a strong grounding in relationship dynamics, and my background with FIFO and Defence families means I understand how distance, rosters and pressure test a partnership.
Â
I create a space where both of you feel safe enough to be honest.
Men's Mental Health Counselling
Push through. Stay strong. Keep it in. You've heard it your whole life, and it works right up until it doesn't. When the pressure has nowhere to go, it often comes out as anger, numbness or burnout - and that's not a character flaw. It's a signal.
What this counselling service involves
This is counselling built around how men actually talk.
Direct, practical, no lectures. We get to the heart of what's going on - whether that's stress, resentment, relationship strain or feeling flat - and work out concrete ways to shift it.
Talking here isn't about dwelling; it's about getting your footing back.
What to expect
-
Men dealing with stress, anger or burnout
-
Those feeling numb, disconnected or "off" without knowing why
-
Men under strain in their relationship or at work
-
Anyone who's been carrying it alone and is ready to set some of it down
What to expect
No awkward silences or vague questions. We talk plainly about what's happening and what you want to change.
Â
You'll get practical strategies you can actually use, and a space where nothing is off-limits and nothing gets judged.
Why choose Kelvin for this
I've worked heavy industry. I know the culture that tells you to keep quiet, and I know how much it costs.
Â
Combine that lived understanding with a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Counselling, and you get someone who speaks your language and knows what he's doing.
FIFO Worker Counselling & Support
Long swings away. A home life that keeps moving without you. That jarring switch between site and home that never quite feels smooth.
The fly-in fly-out lifestyle asks a lot - of you and the people waiting for you - and the toll builds quietly.
What this service involves
I offer counselling shaped around the realities of FIFO work. We tackle isolation, fatigue, the strain of being away, and the tension of trying to slot back into home life on your days off. Because I understand the roster, we don't waste time explaining the basics - we get straight to what helps.
Who it's for
-
Fly-in fly-out workers managing isolation and exhaustion
-
Partners holding the fort at home and feeling the distance
-
Couples where the roster is straining the relationship
-
Anyone struggling with the on-site to at-home transition
What To Expect
Telehealth means we can talk from camp, from home, or on your days off - wherever you are in the swing.
Sessions are practical and flexible, working around your roster rather than against it. You'll come away with real tools for managing the pressure and staying connected to the people who matter.
Why choose Kelvin for this
My mining and construction background means I understand FIFO life from the inside - the culture, the rhythm and the toll it takes.
Paired with a Master of Counselling, that gives you empathetic, evidence-based support from someone who's genuinely been there.

ADF Counselling for Defence Members & Families
Service asks a lot of you - and it doesn't clock off when the day ends. Adjusting to civilian rhythms, processing what you've carried, and finding steady ground again takes real support.
You gave a lot; you deserve care that respects that.
What this service involves
I provide counselling for current and former Australian Defence Force members and their families. We work through the challenges of service life and the transition out of it - from stress and adjustment to trauma and relationship strain - using practical, evidence-based methods that meet you where you are.
Who it's for
-
Current serving ADF members
-
Veterans navigating life after service
-
Partners and families of Defence personnel
-
Anyone adjusting, processing, or looking to rebuild stability
What to expect
We start where you're comfortable and move at your pace. There's no expectation to lay everything out at once.
Sessions focus on practical progress and genuine understanding, in person on the Sunshine Coast or via telehealth wherever you're posted or based.
Why choose Kelvin for this
I bring a Bachelor of Psychology, a Master of Counselling, and years in high-pressure heavy industry. I understand structure, duty and the weight of holding a line - and I offer care that respects what service demands, rather than expecting you to explain it.
Hypnotherapy On The Sunshine Coast
Sometimes the change you want sits deeper than talking alone can reach. You know what you'd like to shift - a habit, a fear, a pattern that keeps repeating - but willpower on its own keeps hitting a wall.
That's where a different approach helps.
What this service involves
Hypnotherapy helps you work with your mind rather than against it. In a calm, guided state of focused relaxation, we access the patterns running below everyday awareness and gently reshape them. I blend hypnotherapy with proven counselling methods, so it's grounded, practical and tailored to you.
What to expect
We start by talking through your goals so I understand exactly what you want to change.
Hypnotherapy is safe, relaxing and fully within your control at all times - you're aware throughout. Many people find it a calming, focused experience that supports real, lasting change.
Who it's for
-
People tackling stubborn habits they can't shift alone
-
Anyone struggling with stress, sleep or low confidence
-
Those wanting to ease anxiety or unhelpful thought patterns
-
People curious about a complementary approach alongside talk therapy
Why choose Kelvin for this
I hold specialised hypnotherapy training alongside a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Counselling. That combination means hypnotherapy isn't offered in isolation, it's part of a considered, evidence-based approach built around what will genuinely help you.

Substance Misuse Counselling
What started as a way to take the edge off has quietly begun taking more than it gives.
Maybe you've noticed it; maybe someone close to you has.
Facing that takes real courage - and it doesn't mean you're weak or beyond help.
What this service involves
This is a clear, supportive space to understand what's driving your drinking or drug use and to build something healthier. We look at the patterns without shame, uncover what the substance has been doing for you, and develop practical strategies for change that fit your life.
Who it's for
-
Anyone whose drinking or drug use has become a problem
-
People who cope with alcohol or substances and want a different way
-
Those whose use is affecting their relationships, work or health
-
Anyone ready to understand the pattern and change it
What To Expect
No judgement and no lectures - just honest conversation and steady support.
Â
We move at a pace you can manage, and I help you set realistic goals rather than impossible ones.
You'll build understanding, coping tools, and a sense that change is genuinely within reach.
Why choose Kelvin for this
My background in gives me the depth to address substance misuse and what sits beneath it.
Â
Having worked in heavy industry, I understand the cultures where drinking becomes routine - so you get support that's both expert and grounded in reality.
Family & Domestic Violence Counselling
Feeling unsafe or unsure in your own home is frightening and exhausting. It can chip away at your confidence until you start doubting your own judgement.
Whatever you've experienced, you deserve to be heard, believed and supported.
What this service involves
I offer compassionate, confidential support for anyone affected by family or domestic violence. Together we create a safe space to talk through what's happening, understand your options, and rebuild a sense of stability and self-worth — always at a pace that feels safe for you.
What to expect
There's no pressure to share more than you're ready to, and no judgement about the choices you've made to keep yourself safe.
Sessions focus on your wellbeing, your options and your pace.
Â
Telehealth is available if meeting somewhere private feels safer for you.
Who it's for
-
Anyone currently affected by family or domestic violence
-
People rebuilding after leaving an unsafe situation
-
Those processing the emotional impact of past abuse
-
Anyone who needs a safe, non-judgemental place to be heard
Why choose Kelvin for this
Navigating complex and sensitive circumstances can feel overwhelming - but you don't have to do it alone.
Â
I'm here to guide you every step of the way, at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you. My approach is always patient and respectful, because your wellbeing comes first.
