Cassowary Coast Counselling

Counselling & Psychotherapy in Mission Beach; 1 to 1 work with adults. By appointment. My work is influenced by existential and Stoic philosophy. Warmly, Geoff.

I help individuals who are persevering with anxiety, relationship issues, interpersonal difficulties, work stress and existential issues. My goal is to support a lively awareness-building process, and in doing so, facilitate conditions where one can experience meaningful growth and change. If you are reaching out for the first time, please know that I genuinely appreciate the hardness of doing so. I am looking forward to meeting you, and, in working with me, you will experience a therapeutic approach is relational, creative, and present-focused. I provide in-person therapy from a private and comfortable space in Mission Beach; sessions by phone or video are also available.

If you enjoy Stoic philosophy, you’ll appreciate this piece… and if you know not of the Stoics, then do yourself a favour.

For many people, the world is in a state of upheaval that can feel difficult to cope with, but can the teachings of the Stoics help in these troubling times?
