At With Grace Therapy, our team includes mental health social workers, counsellors, and psychologists in Brisbane and Sunshine Coast, each with specialist training.

In your first session, your therapist will explore what brought you to therapy and help you feel comfortable. You’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and preferences.

This depends on your situation. Some people attend short-term counselling for a specific issue, while others benefit from ongoing support. Your therapist will regularly check in to make sure the sessions remain relevant and helpful.
