HeartSPACE
Counselling & Support Services
At HeartSPACE, we offer gentle, trauma-informed support for children, families, and those who care for them.
Our work is grounded in the belief that emotional safety, respectful relationships, and ethical practice are essential for meaningful and lasting support.
We believe that every person carries a unique story, shaped by relationships, experiences, and context. Our role is not to rush or reshape that story, but to offer a safe, thoughtful space where it can be explored with care.
HeartSPACE is a private practice based on the Gold Coast, providing child counselling, play therapy, child-inclusive practice, professional supervision, and training. Our approach is child-centred, developmentally responsive, and trauma-informed, with careful attention to nervous system regulation and emotional wellbeing.
We work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, grief and loss, separation, domestic and family violence, sexual assault, and significant life transitions. Support is offered at a pace that prioritises safety, choice, and dignity, while remaining grounded in clear ethical boundaries and professional standards.
With extensive experience across community, clinical, and multidisciplinary settings, HeartSPACE works alongside families and professionals with care, integrity, and professionalism.
