HEIDI Play Therapist, Child/Youth, Adult Counsellor & Clinical Supervisor
Hi, I'm Heidi, the founder of HeartSpace. I am a registered Counsellor, Play Therapist and Supervisor on the Gold Coast, Queensland.
I have been walking alongside children, young people, and adults since I began volunteering at an NFP Organisation that specialised in grief and loss over 18 years ago. I spent many years working with children, adolescents and women in Domestic and Family Violence Services, until I opened HeartSPACE in 2020.
I am a trauma informed therapist with a person centered approach; using a variety of evidence based modalities to match each client's needs; always in the hope that each individual feels safe, seen, heard and believed.
My approach is grounded in openness, honesty, curiosity, compassion, trust, playfulness and humour. My hope is to help you feel empowered, understand your connection to your brain and body and to learn ways to live freely and authentically. And that you will learn helpful ways to thrive in your relationship with yourself and others.
I hope you allow therapy to be a space where you can come to make sense of what is happening in your life, as you start to explore your feelings in a place that feels safe and non judgemental.

And if I have the privilege to work together with you - I hope we will together gently find ways that are healing to your heart, mind and body. That you will begin to understand yourself a little deeper and those around you, so you can feel more at home in yourself and the world around you.
I have a passion advocating for children, youth and vulnerable people. In the work I do I now have the priviledge to bring my decades of knowledge and experience into training, consultation and supervision.
