Why switch to online therapy

Comfort
Some clients feel more comfortable discussing sensitive topics in the comfort of their own homes, or a location out in nature. Clients normally create their own routines around where they most prefer to have sessions and this has worked well for years before and then during and after Covid.

What are People Saying
Psychology services for Australians since 2003
Hello I’m Luciana – your Online Gold Coast Psychologist. I have been enchanted by psychology for over 20 years. My special interest revolves around adults’ emotional functioning within and in their primary relationships. I love learning about the rank & power in those relationships and everyday life.
Psychology should be practical and integrative while also giving you the results that you feel and see in action.
I take personal responsibility to keep myself in check by both – regularly working on my own stuff and having my work reviewed. This allows me to show up for you fairly, minus my own mess.
I work with clients across different time zones and value having old clients return years later with new concerns.
I am an avid student of psychotherapy.
I love and have had dogs but currently we house an ex-stray cat Neshli who has taken reigns. You could not even imagine what I am capable of putting together for a meal (a trail of incriminating photo evidence exists).
Boundaries
Personal boundaries help us define who we are and what we are about; where we stop and others begin (and the reverse) and what we value most. Interpersonal boundaries help us show up healthily and authentically in our most important relationships.
Personal agency
Personal agency is the ability to take control of one's emotions, over one's capabilities, and influence others. It is based on having self-respect, taking responsibility for one's actions, and setting healthy boundaries.
Art of relating
There is an art to finding the sweet spot between personal boundaries and considering the needs of those that matter to us. There is an abundance of solutions and negotiations available that can benefit both parties.

Is it challenging to identify how to best utilize your strengths and weaknesses?
I can provide the necessary support and direction to help you develop a plan that is tailored to your individual needs. Let me assist you in finding ways to honour all that you are and still reach your desired goals.
Anxiety disorders like GAD, panic, OCD, social, PTSD, phobias affect daily functioning. Fight-or-Flight Response helps us manage threats but intense, prolonged anxiety harms well-being.
Mood disorders include depression, post-natal depression, bipolar, and SAD. Depression is characterized by intense emotions, physical and cognitive symptoms which significantly impact daily life.
Anger is normal but both repressing it or having outbursts are unhealthy and can lead to self-sabotage and damaged relationships. Expressing anger healthily is important for emotional intelligence and better relationships.
People can experience anxiety, depression and other difficulties due to inner conflicts and discord in their important relationships. Understanding these dynamics can help improve relationships and resolve ailments.
Problems and conflicts arise in relationships and that is normal. Learning to deal with those through insight, communication, respect and compromise is key. These are life skills we all need but a few learn and apply consistently and well.
Grieving stretches beyond death and loss – it involves many life changes, sometimes even (partially) positive ones. Allowing yourself the space and the time to grieve and recover is essential to finding a sense of peace again.
Feeling lost? Personal development sessions can help you discover in what direction to grow and how to strive for more meaning and purpose so that you can enjoy life and contribute to yourself and others.
Most people can relate to workplace issues such as health and safety, funny co-workers, bullying, role confusion, transitioning, aggressive or passive aggressive employers and work–life balance. All these can and do affect your functioning and your life.
We all experience stress. It can be normal, but it must be managed to be functional. Coping with stress is a valuable skill, as it excessive un-managed stress affects mental and physical health as well as relationships.
