About Me

Hello! I’m Heather

Registered Counsellor

Hello, my name is Heather Chilcote. Dip (Couns) M.A.C.A

I am the owner of Life Wisdom Counselling, ideally located in the Brightwater Estate in Mountain Creek on the Sunshine Coast Qld.

I am a qualified Counsellor, registered with the Australian Counselling Association. My work is governed by the A.C.A ensuring I adhere to strict ethical guidelines.

I am also required to undergo Ongoing Professional Development and Supervision to provide best practice to my clients.

I am a member of The Mental Health Academy. My area of special interest is Grief and Loss. I have attained a Certificate, Working with Grief and Loss’ to support my work in this area.

I was extremely fortunate to have gained practical experience working internationally in Fiji. This was truly a life changing experience! I was humbled to see how those less fortunate, living in remote villages with only the necessities could be so happy. I believe core values, community spirit and gratitude for the smallest of things can be the and key to true happiness

My Expertise

My Approach & Values

I use an integrative approach where I draw on a range of different theories and techniques based on the individual needs of my clients.

I also utilise CBT techniques to help people whose negative thoughts and behaviours may be contributing to the destructive patterns that are keeping them from moving forward to a place of clarity and a greater sense of wellbeing.

Solution Focused Therapy

Sophia - Mooloolaba

I contacted Heather after a recent relationship breakup and have found her to be insightful and understanding in helping me deal with my feelings of abandonment. Her approach has allowed me to express my feelings in a comfortable environment without judgement where she has taken the time to listen to. me; even if I seem to be ranting. This has enabled me to resolve many of my misgivings over the loss of my partner and come to terms with the situation.
