My Counselling Services
Support for Different Concerns and Life Stages
I'm Karen Bramich, and I offer counselling on the Gold Coast from my Hope Island practice, with online individual appointments also available across Australia. Relationship counselling is face-to-face in Hope Island. The areas I work in include alcohol counselling, anger management, grief counselling, anxiety counselling, self-esteem counselling, people pleasing counselling, stress counselling and relationship counselling.
Each appointment starts with whatever you want to talk about. I keep the conversation practical and non-judgemental rather than assuming one approach suits everyone. Have a look through the services below to see what each area can involve and which topics feel relevant to you.
- Alcohol Counselling
Alcohol counselling with lived experience of sobriety alongside professional counselling training — no label required, and the goal stays yours.
- Anger Management
Anger management that looks at what sits beneath the anger — triggers, warning signs and the way conflict plays out — rather than telling you to calm down.
- Grief & Loss Counselling
Grief counselling for bereavement, relationship loss and other significant change — no fixed timeline, and no need to have the right words.
- Anxiety Counselling
Anxiety counselling for overthinking, feeling on edge and avoiding things — understanding what keeps it going, and practical strategies to try.
- Self-Esteem, Confidence & Identity
Self-esteem counselling for second-guessing yourself, feeling "not enough", and reconnecting with your own values and sense of self.
- Boundaries & People Pleasing
People pleasing counselling for saying yes when you mean no, guilt after setting a limit, and losing sight of what you need.
- Life Transitions, Stress & Burnout
Stress counselling for exhaustion, overwhelm and burnout, and for the identity questions that come with a major life change.
- Relationship Counselling
Relationship counselling in Hope Island for couples dealing with communication, recurring conflict or disconnection, and uncertainty about what comes next.
