You don’t have to carry this alone.

 If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, grieving, or quietly struggling while still “holding it together” — this is a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to move forward.

Reaching out for counselling can feel daunting.

Many people arrive unsure what to say, worried they’re “not bad enough,” or wondering whether talking will even help.

A free 15-minute introductory call is included prior to the first appointment.

At Charlton Counselling, you’ll find a calm, confidential space where you don’t need the right words or a clear plan. We start where you are.


Kate is a registered counsellor based in Toowoomba, supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, workplace stress, and complex relationships with their body and self-worth.


Together, we work gently and practically — helping you understand what’s happening, reconnect with your strengths, and take steady steps toward a clearer path ahead.


In-person and online appointments available.

I specialize in tailored treatment plans combining hands-on techniques with mindful movement. My goal is to make recovery feel empowering, not intimidating — so you can trust your body, find balance, and thrive in daily life.
