Our Approach

Grounded Actions Counselling supports people in rural, regional and remote Queensland who feel stuck in patterns of addiction (whether that’s alcohol, drug use or other addictive behaviours) and are exhausted from trying to manage it on their own. Many of the people I work with are juggling work, school, family or shift-work life, quietly worrying that things could keep getting worse if nothing changes.

If this sounds like you or someone you care about, please know you are not a “lost cause” and you are not “broken”. You’re a human who has been carrying a lot (probably too much) for far too long.

In our work together, we press pause, get grounded and make sense of what’s really going on underneath the surface of the drinking, using or other coping habits, including stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship strain. From there, we build small, realistic, values‑based steps that fit your actual life, so you can feel steadier, more in control of your choices and clearer about where you want to head next.
