Our trauma counselling and therapy goes far beyond helping you to cope. Instead, you overcome the underlying factors that maintain your distress, to resolve it more completely, in a safe and supported environment. The result? A more permanent, efficient and effective resolution - real and lasting change.
Online & in person (Gold Coast) counselling to overcome trauma and build resilience.
I’m Karl Jacks, a credentialed mental health nurse and trauma therapist.
Over more than 20 years, in the UK and Australia, I’ve supported people through some of life’s hardest challenges. My focus is on overcoming the lasting effects of trauma on people's lives. I work with individuals who have suffered childhood and/or adult adversity and trauma. I also train other professionals and support workers in advanced trauma workshops and mater-classes.

Online Trauma Counselling & Therapy across Australia
Get the help you need, wherever you are
Our online trauma therapy/counselling makes therapy accessible wherever you are in Australia. Proven to be as effective as face-to-face therapy, online counselling is convenient and easy – and you may find it less confronting too.

Trauma Workshops
Training for professionals and organisations
In addition to counselling, I run a number of trauma workshops. These cater to different audiences – individuals preparing for therapy; workers supporting people with trauma, and clinicians, therapists, nurses and allied health professionals.

is your past shaping your present?
Childhood Trauma
Events you’ve forgotten or shut away can still affect you
All of us are shaped by our experiences, including ones we don’t think of consciously. The impact shows up in anxiety, difficulty with relationships, poor sleep, addiction, or even just a constant sense of being on edge.
Our trauma counselling methods mean you don’t have to relive all the detail of those early events, but you can still process them and gain peace.
