Counselling Support on the Sunshine Coast
Sometimes life doesn’t go the way we imagined, and even strong, capable people can find themselves struggling to cope. Whether you’re grieving, making sense of ADHD, or feeling disconnected in your relationship, you don’t have to work it out alone. I’m Kimberly Freeman (B.Psych, Dip.Counselling, ACA Registered), and I offer a warm, grounded space to understand what’s happening and find your way forward.
How I can support you
Choose the area that best fits what you’re facing right now.
Counselling
Grief and Loss Counselling
Grief can follow the loss of a loved one, a relationship, your health or the life you expected. I’ll help you make sense of what you’re feeling, at your own pace, and find a way to carry your loss without it carrying you.
Relationship Counselling
When communication breaks down, distance creeps in or conflict keeps repeating, counselling can help you understand each other again. I work with couples and individuals, including FIFO couples and partners navigating loss together.
Individual Counselling
When life feels heavy, confusing, or emotionally exhausting, individual counselling offers a supportive space to explore what is happening and move forward with more clarity, confidence, and coping strategies.
ADHD Support
For adults and teens, whether you’ve just been diagnosed, have known for years or are still working out what’s going on. Together we’ll build practical strategies for focus, emotional regulation and everyday life, so you can stop surviving and start thriving.
Additional Support
Performance Mindset Support
Support for athletes, dancers, students, and individuals navigating confidence, focus, pressure, emotional regulation, and performance demands. Performance mindset support helps build resilience, manage pressure, and strengthen the skills that support both well-being and performance.
Family and Parenting Support
Parenting and family life can feel overwhelming when children or adolescents are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, school issues, or major life changes. Support can help bring more clarity, reduce stress, and strengthen family connection.
FIFO Support
Support for individuals and families navigating the emotional, relational, and practical pressures that can come with FIFO life, including stress, transition, disconnection, and family strain.

I think I need counselling...where do I start
Perhaps you’ve been thinking, “I need counselling” or “I need someone to talk to,” but you’re unsure whether your concerns are serious enough.
You don’t need to reach a breaking point to seek support. You might be feeling overwhelmed, grieving a loss, struggling in a relationship, navigating family difficulties or finding everyday life harder to manage. You may simply want space to understand what you’re feeling.
At Shifting Perspective Counselling, I offer a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard and explore what matters to you. Sessions are available in person on the Sunshine Coast, with individual counselling also available online across Australia.
