A Collaborative Relationship
Therapy is a partnership. Shawn works with you, not at you — your voice, your pace, and your goals lead every session.
Individual Therapy
A Space That's Just for You
Individual therapy at Open Arms Health is a supportive, one-on-one space designed to help you better understand yourself, your emotions, and the patterns that shape your relationships and wellbeing.
We believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and empowered. Our approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored entirely to you.
Therapy is not about "fixing" you — it's about helping you reconnect with your strengths, values, and sense of self.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions most people have before their first session.
How do I know if individual therapy is right for me?
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply want a safe space to talk through what's on your mind, individual therapy can help. You don't need to be in crisis — many people come to therapy for personal growth, clarity, and self-understanding.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is about getting to know you — your story, what brought you here, and what you'd like to work towards. There is no pressure to share more than you are comfortable with. It's a gentle, conversational process.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies for every person. Some people find clarity and relief in a few sessions; others benefit from longer-term support. Together we will review progress regularly and adjust the plan to suit your needs and goals.
Is everything I share kept confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship. Everything discussed in sessions is kept strictly private, in accordance with professional ethical guidelines.
Can I do sessions online?
Yes, online sessions are available for local, national, and international clients. Whether you are in Gold Coast, elsewhere in Australia, or overseas, you can access the same quality of care and support from the comfort of your own space.
