Counselling
At Well Life Services our counsellors support clients with physical, emotional, and mental health issues, helping them resolve crises, reduce feelings of distress, and improve their sense of wellbeing. When successful, treatment can change how a client thinks, feels, and behaves regarding an upsetting experience or situation.
Counselling works with clients from childhood through to old age, focusing on “developmental (lifespan), environmental and cultural perspectives,
- Issues and concerns in education and career
- Decisions regarding school, work, and retirement transitions
- Marital and family relationship difficulties
- Managing stressful life events
- Coping with ill health and physical disability
- Mental disorders
- Ongoing difficulties with getting along with people in general.
Our counsellors are trained and qualified professionals who helps the client identify the source of their concerns or difficulties; then, together, they find counselling approaches to help deal with the problems faced.
At Well Life Services our counsellors are committed to provide evidence-based counselling. Each client is different, which means our approaches are tailored to your needs. Our practice is evidence-based and utilizes various approaches and tools for a successful outcome.

Psychology Assessments
Our psychologists offer diagnostic assessments for both adults and children, addressing a range of concerns. For children, we specialise in assessments for Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Difficulties. For adults, we provide assessments for psychiatric disorders, Autism, and ADHD.
These assessments are useful for NDIS funding, Centrelink, and tailored support plans for schools.
Please note that assessments are not covered by Medicare, and Mental Health Care Plans (MHCP) cannot be applied to cover assessment costs.
Play Therapy
Often when children have used up their own problem-solving skills, they misbehave, or act out at home, with friends, and at school. Children may be referred for play therapy to resolve issues.
Children communicate well through play, and play therapy provides a safe psychological distance from a child's issues while allowing expression of thoughts and feelings appropriate to their development.
Play therapy allows appropriately trained mental health practitioners to assess and understand a child through their play. Further play therapy is used to help children cope with difficult emotions and find solutions to problems. It can help children change the way they think about, feel toward and resolve their concerns.
Research indicates typically a child will require around 20 sessions on a weekly basis depending on the child. Research also indicates greater success for children when parents and carers are actively involved in the therapeutic process.
Play therapy is appropriate for children aged 2- 12 years old, though teenagers and adults have also benefitted.
Play Therapy Services are available in Toowoomba and the Lockyer Valley.
Art Therapy
Art Therapy can be helpful for those who struggle to verbalise their feelings. It helps children, adolescents, and adults explore their emotions, improve self-esteem, manage behaviour and addictions, relieve stress, improve symptoms of anxiety and depression, resolve conflicts, develop interpersonal skills, clear trauma and achieve insight.
While each session is tailored to the individual, it includes the use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, colouring, sand, play or sculpting to help people express themselves artistically and examine the psychological and emotional undertones in their art.
Well Life Services offer Art Therapy in Toowoomba and The Lockyer Valley.
