Nova's Narcissist Abuse Recovery

Nova's Narcissist Abuse Recovery Trauma informed Counselor and Author of Fake Love - Understanding and Healing from Narcissistic Abuse I am due to graduate in 2024. Nova

My name is Nova Gibson, and I am the Director and Founder of Brighter Outlook Counselling Service. I provide trauma informed counselling in general counselling issues, and crisis counselling. My area of expertise however is in supporting clients where relationship counselling and couples counselling have been unsuccessful in the past. I also specialise in supporting victims and survivors of narcissistic abuse. Prior to opening my practice in 2012, I gained extensive experience working in child safety in the government sector, and with individuals, couples and families experiencing crisis and trauma. I have also held various training and teaching roles throughout my professional life in community services and counselling at diploma level. I have a Bachelor of Social Science in Behavioural Science and Counselling, and at the time of writing, I am studying for my Bachelor of Social Work which I chose to undertake alongside my work as a counsellor so I could better identify toxic, and unhealthy relationship dynamics. My clients have ranged from abused children and troubled teenagers, to men and women struggling with depression and inner conflict. I provide face to face counselling via online counselling, using platforms such as zoom, Skype and Teams, Instagram and Facebook video. I am also the author of the best-selling selfcare book of 2023 - 'Fake Love - Understanding and healing from narcissistic abuse. I would love to support you with the issues you are currently facing. Asking for help is a sign of courage and there is no time like the present reach out for that guidance and support. Please view my website for more information.

Credit to Matthew McConaughey (b. 1969) is an American actor and speaker known for emphasizing accountability, values, and personal responsibility.

He puts responsibility back where it belongs by reminding people that an apology is not the end of the story, but the beginning of change.

Forgiveness is a gift, not a reset button. Stoicism teaches responsibility over excuses.

Character is revealed after the apology, not during it.

“If you mean it, prove it.”

When someone says “I love you” but their behaviour is filled with criticism, neglect, manipulation, or emotional abuse… it creates deep confusion.
Because survivors don’t struggle with love.
They struggle with words that never matched actions.
Love is not supposed to hurt your nervous system.
Love is not walking on eggshells.
Love is not begging for basic respect.

Our Story

Brighter Outlook Counselling Service is a private counselling practice situated in North Brisbane, Australia. Nova’s area of expertise is in helping victims to work through the trauma of narcissistic abuse, to validate their abuse, to help clients break the trauma bond to their abuser, and provide them with strategies to heal. The abuse was never your fault. Narcissistic abuse is insidious and the manipulation strategies the narcissist uses such as gaslighting, leaves you a shell of the person you once were before you were traumatised.
