Welcome to Ghita Therapy Counselling
Tell Me Your Story...
In today's world, social networks are shrinking. The number of people who report having no intimate friends is increasing. Simple eye contact, along with a caring "tell me your story," can go a long way toward diminishing someone's feelings of alienation and aloneness. Counselling provides the chance to talk things through, very often relieving emotional pressure, clearing the way for people to focus and decide what to do next. Just like you seek advice from a doctor for health issues, a counsellor can help to give you powerful tools for better decision making and improved mental health.
Individual Counselling
Counselling is a form of 'talk therapy' where you talk in a safe, confidential space with a counsellor about the issues you are facing in your life. Counselling can provide a sense of direction and a greater ability to achieve goals. Just like you seek advice from a doctor for health issues, a counsellor can help to give you tools for better decision making and improved mental health. And best of all, no referrals are required.
Filling up Your Cup
In this modern age, it is easy to neglect self care like you are pouring from an empty cup. If you are constantly juggling work, kids, family, finances, and more, you’ll quickly end up burnt out – with less in your emotional cup. An empty cup means your ability to care for others will be non-existent when you don’t even have the time or energy to care for yourself. Sound familiar?
So, now is your chance to fill you cup up, to prioritise yourself and “make” the time to sort through some things you have been putting off. To take control of your happiness and to be heard by someone who won't judge you, but instead will encourage you to create your best life. People who come to Ghita Therapy are often ready to change and grow, and just need a little help.

★★★★★ Google Review: 5 Weeks Couples Therapy Package 2024
'What a turn around!! My wife and I came to Ghita with very different communication skills. We were feeling EXTREMELY defeated in our marriage and were desperately seeking direction. After just 5 sessions our communication skills are in a place we didn’t know were possible.
It’s been about a month since our sessions and our marriage is still becoming stronger and stronger every day. 10 out of 10 recommend!' - Jason Eichenburger (Northern Rivers)

Treatments for Anxiety, Anger, Depression & Trauma
What is EMDR? EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a psychological treatment that enables people to heal from the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic attacks, depression, phobias and severe anxiety. EMDR is especially good for old triggers and bad memories. Highly regarded in her EMDR method, Ghita Andersen uses a Healy Frequency Device and the original finger movement method of eye desensitisation, which is fast and effective. See Ghita's EMDR Breakthrough Program
★★★★★ Testimonial via text 2024: PTSD Treatment with EDMR and NLP: Hi Ghita, I reflected on that memory that we worked on and it has definitely changed. It feels brighter and I don't get that feeling in my chest. I get the memory of my 4th birthday every time I think of that night in Afghanistan. Charlie (Veteran) - Labrador
Anger is often associated with frustration – things don’t always happen the way we want and people don’t always behave the way we think they should. Anger is the by-product of yucky feelings deep beneath. Basically, we are triggered by an event and our internal voice (who hates not being in control) has a filter about the event or a negative (egocentric) phrase which gives us a rise (reaction).
Our view is that anger issues and therefore health issues can be significantly reduced by finding out where our triggers come from. This may include methods such as counselling, Gestalt Therapy, and EMDR, NLP and Hypnotherapy.
Testimonial 2021: Anger Management with Time Line Therapy:
"Hi Ghita, I have been meaning to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the gift you gave me last Friday. I have been enjoying my new found power of ease ever since and apply it each day. I wonder what else may need attention now that layer has been lifted." - M. Chapman (Brisbane).
Ghita Andersen uses hypnotherapy with her clients when there are certain stuck patterns of behaviour, fears, traumas and phobias. With the hypnotic method, Ghita just has a gentle chat with your unconscious mind to install new coping mechanisms. Common themes for hypnotherapy clients are increasing confidence, anger management, quit smoking and self-sabotaging behaviours.
2023: Past Life Regression Hypnotherapy: 'The session was amazing! It delivered so many unanswered questions for me in this lifetime. I definitely want to try Time Line Therapy next.' Thanks Ghita. - Ari (Northern Rivers)
Self-Development: Unleashing Your Potential
NLP methods were originally designed from a mix of hypnotherapy and language cues to help people to recover from trauma, childhood abuse, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, phobias, self-sabotage, limiting beliefs and more... The NLP Submodalities method is often used for deleting traumatic memories and for finding the root cause of anger, anxiety, feelings of abandonment, low self-worth and depression. Talk with Ghita as to whether NLP or Time Line Therapy would suit your situation best.
★★★★★ 5 Star Google Review: NLP 2025: 'Working with Ghita Andersen has been one of the most transformative and empowering experiences. This has helped me shift long-standing patterns and reconnect with a deep sense of clarity, confidence, and joy. Ghita used NLP therapy to help me identify and reframe deep-seated self-limiting beliefs that had been running in the background for years. The change has been profound—not only internally, but in how I show up in the world.
What’s been especially meaningful is how others have noticed the shift. Friends, colleagues, and even strangers have commented on how happy and light I seem. I couldn’t recommend Ghita more highly.' - Alisa - Palm Beach
Time Line Therapy® provides powerful processes for personal change and growth by helping the client remove any of the painful emotions attached to a particular memory or event. Furthermore, it works to release emotions that still cause stress in the adult mind and body. Considered excellent for deleting limitiing beliefs and finding the root cause of anger, anxiety and depression.
★★★★★ Video Testimonial 2024: Time Line Therapy: Hello Ghita, I have to say that it has really assisted me in so many ways. It is / has been life changing and would love to share how you have assisted me in regaining my power! I can say with those small, but oh so effective tools of reframing has made changes in my body language when meeting with those in authority, so when I would have displayed a closed or defensive persona, I now display confidence, a smile and a surety of myself. I am so very grateful to you and what you have safely walked me through! I appreciate you. Regards, Kim
