We all have relationships with others. And we also all have a relationship with ourselves.

Relationships are the bedrock of everything.

Even if our home, career, or lifestyle is just how we want it, it’s hard to really enjoy what life can offer if our relationships are on shaky ground.

But where’s the manual for successful relationships? Are we just meant to naturally know how to make them thrive?

Most of us spend more time learning a profession, sport, or even what to cook for dinner, than learning how relationships work.

Sunshine Holistic Counselling helps people fix relationship problems and create happy relationships, so they can get on with enjoying life as it’s meant to be.

How? The answer is pretty simple. It’s all about new insights, new knowledge, and new skills.

And a therapeutic approach that’s both educational and heartfelt, to make it all happen fast.

I’ve spent over two decades developing my approach, and I’m proud that Sunshine Holistic Counselling is truly unique. Here’s how:

I’m a master’s degree qualified Psychotherapist with specialist expertise in both relationship and marriage counselling and individual therapy.

And, with a background as a fully qualified Naturopath, I understand that great relationships and great health go hand in hand.

That means we’ll do the couples, individual, family, or co-parents counselling that you’re needing, but also make sure you’re enjoying great health as we go. 

I’ve seen time and time again how the right knowledge empowers people to thrive.

Contact me here. Let’s get you enjoying your life and relationships the way you’d like them to be.

Hi, I’m Pamela.

Child of the mid 60’s. White bread and sugar. Aspirin and antibiotics. Divorced parents. What hope was there?

It hasn’t all been smooth sailing. There were plenty of times when I lost sight of my own health and happiness.

But just when I’d been stumbling along through my early adult years, clueless, life blessed me with a few very special gifts:

One: exposure to the world of natural health and healing…

… (quite a parallel universe for a girl raised on the western medical model and pharmaceutical meds).

Two: exposure to the world of marriage and relationship therapy…

… (a lightning bolt from the sky for a girl swimming in confusion about how relationships were supposed to work, and whether love that lasts was even possible).

Three: then just few years later… exposure to the world of love…

… (a last minute blind date which launched a love story now well into its third decade and stronger with every passing year).

Talk about a lightning bolt from the sky.

What really gives me a shiver down my spine?

It’s been exposure to knowledge that’s made the biggest difference in how my life, health, and relationships have evolved.

Without exposure to knowledge I could not have created the healthy, happy, love filled life that I’m now living.

When I work with clients, I focus on equipping them with knowledge, because I’m living proof that it changes lives.

I also focus on sharing what I’ve learned (and who I am) personally, because without heart, knowledge is just facts.

Real change takes knowledge and heart.

When I’m not working with clients, I’m enjoying life with my hubby Andy: swimming, surfing, or walking on divine beaches,

pottering in our beautiful garden, enjoying the company of our two gorgeous adult sons, or just kicking back with a drink on our deck,

watching night fall and the stars shine.
