Introduction

Everyone has times in their life where things feel heavy, confusing or too much. Whether it’s a relationship issue, family pressure, career burnout or general anxiety, having someone to talk to can make a real difference. Therapy doesn’t need to be long-term or dramatic—it can simply be a space where you reflect, plan and build better tools to manage what life throws at you.

At Brisbane Livewell Clinic, we offer therapy that is focused on helping you function better—not just vent. You’ll work with someone who listens, offers insights and helps you take action.

What Does Therapy at Brisbane Livewell Clinic Look Like?

Our therapists use a person-centred approach that values your lived experience and how your mind, body and environment interact. Some of the techniques and frameworks our team use include:

  • Solution-focused therapy
  • Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT)
  • Narrative therapy
  • Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
  • Psychosocial education
  • Hypnotherapy (for those seeking subconscious-focused work)
  • Somatic and mindfulness-based strategies


We don’t use a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, we match techniques to you—what you need and what you’re ready for.

What You Can Work on in Therapy

People often come to therapy at Brisbane Livewell Clinic for support with:

  • Anxiety, nervousness and racing thoughts
  • Low mood, hopelessness and emotional fatigue
  • High stress, work burnout or decision fatigue
  • Grief, change and life transitions
  • Relationship stress and communication issues
  • Low self-worth or people-pleasing patterns
  • Unresolved emotional trauma or stuck memories
  • Parenting stress or family dynamics
  • Difficulty setting boundaries or saying no
  • Feeling overwhelmed or disconnected


You don’t need to have a diagnosis or a crisis to benefit from therapy. It’s enough to say that you’re not coping as well as you’d like—and that you’re ready for a new way of handling things.

Therapy for Teenagers in Brisbane

Teenagers are under enormous pressure right now—social media, academic stress, identity questions and rapid emotional development. Many teens struggle with anxiety, mood swings, self-doubt or difficulty adjusting to change.

Our therapists are experienced in working with teenagers from 13 years and up. Sessions are supportive and practical. We offer strategies for:

  • Emotional regulation
  • Social challenges
  • Exam stress and perfectionism
  • Body image and confidence
  • Family communication
  • Navigating transitions and identity


Therapy for teens can be booked with or without a referral. Parental involvement is flexible and guided by the therapist based on each situation.

Therapy vs Hypnotherapy – What’s Right for You?

At Brisbane Livewell Clinic, we offer both traditional counselling therapy and clinical hypnotherapy. Therapy is often more conversational, focused on conscious thoughts and patterns. Hypnotherapy may suit people who feel stuck, who’ve tried talk-based therapy before, or who want to work at a deeper level with unconscious beliefs.

If you’re unsure which path to take, we can help you decide. Sometimes it’s a combination that gets the best results.

Why Choose Brisbane Livewell Clinic for Therapy?

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision—and we don’t take that lightly. Our Clinic provides therapy that is:

  • Grounded in practical, real-life outcomes
  • Non-judgemental, inclusive and safe
  • Rooted in a mind-body perspective
  • Focused on your goals and preferred pace
  • Free of jargon, blame or unrealistic pressure


We also work collaboratively. If your situation would benefit from working with a Naturopath, nutritionist or body-based practitioner, we can make those connections for you within our Clinic.

What Happens in a Therapy Session?

Each session is tailored to what you bring that day. Some weeks you might need emotional support. Other times, it might be problem-solving, learning a new technique or mapping out goals. We’ll follow your lead while keeping an eye on where you want to go.

Sessions are 50 to 60 minutes, available in person at Wavell Heights or Cannon Hill, or online across Australia.

We may use worksheets, visual maps, reflective questions or simply good conversation. There’s no pressure to perform—just space to unpack and grow.

Do I Need a Mental Health Plan?

You do not need a mental health care plan or referral to see our therapists. Our services are privately billed, and we aim to keep them accessible and flexible. If you’re seeing a psychologist elsewhere but want more emotional or integrative support, our therapists can work in tandem without interfering with existing care.

Some clients find therapy with us more personal, practical and adaptable than Medicare-subsidised models, particularly for long-term emotional growth or lifestyle integration.

How Therapy Complements Natural Health Care

Mental and emotional health affect every other system in the body. Whether you’re working on gut health, hormones, sleep or immunity, unresolved stress and emotional overwhelm can block progress.

At Brisbane Livewell Clinic, your therapist may collaborate with your Naturopath, if appropriate, to ensure that your mind and body are supported together. You’ll benefit from a holistic approach that respects the full picture of your health.

Conclusion

Therapy doesn’t have to be clinical or intimidating. At Brisbane Livewell Clinic, it’s a grounded, respectful process where you’re supported as a whole person. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, grief or emotional confusion, our therapists can help you make sense of it, build tools that work and feel stronger from the inside out. If you’re ready for a therapist who listens, understands, and works with you at your pace—this is the place to start.
