Welcome

Hi there! I’m Kevin Chin, registered and insured counsellor based on the beautiful Gold Coast. With over 12 years of experience in supporting people with disability, mental health, and aged care in my role as a support worker, I’m here to listen and help out when you need it the most.

Whether you’re an NDIS participant, navigating mental health issues, or just feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, I get it. Finding time to unwind and enjoy life can be tough, and I’m here to help you with that.

My goal is to work with you to find practical ways to reduce stress and bring more relaxation and fun into your life. Together, we’ll explore solutions that fit your unique needs and make your days brighter. I’m here for you every step of the way, ready to listen and support you as you work towards a happier, more balanced life.

Why did I become a counsellor?

The reason I became a counsellor is because of my own journey through mental health challenges. Living daily with anxiety and suicidal thoughts has given me a deep understanding of the struggles and stress that many people face. My own quest for a balanced and happy life has inspired me to help others find their way through similar difficulties.

Personally , I know firsthand how hard it can be to see hope and find reasons to keep going when everything feels overwhelming. That’s why I’m passionate about helping others discover their own reasons to live, find hope, and work towards a fulfilling life. My goal is to support you in navigating your challenges and finding the balance and happiness that I’ve strived for myself.

You don’t have to face these struggles alone—I’m here to offer understanding, support, and a safe space where you can work towards a brighter and more balanced future. Together, we can find ways to help you see the light and build a life filled with hope and purpose.

Walk Talk Heal

“First, I offer a free 30-minute consultation so we can talk about what’s on your mind and see if we work well together. During this time, we’ll go over what you need and figure out the best way to help you.”

“For each session after our free chat, it costs $100 for an hour. To make sure you get a spot, you’ll need to pay for the session ahead of time.”
