Brisbane Counsellor Tim Coates – My Approach to Therapy

About Tim

My name is Tim Coates, and I’m a licensed counsellor in Brisbane. My journey to becoming a counsellor wasn’t planned, but it was driven by a deep desire to help others navigate life’s challenges. After experiencing my own mental health struggles in my IT career, I discovered the power of therapy and knew I wanted to be part of that healing journey for others.

I understand how daunting it can be to seek help, having been on both sides of the therapy chair. That’s why I create a safe and supportive space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story without judgment. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and open communication.

Beyond my counselling qualifications, I bring a unique blend of experience. My background in software development and theology has given me a diverse perspective on human behavior and resilience. I’m also certified in First Aid and hold a Blue Card, ensuring your safety and well-being are always my top priorities.

When I’m not helping clients, you might find me cheering on the Brisbane Lions, getting lost in a good book, or unwinding with some music and a delicious home-cooked meal. These activities help me recharge and be fully present for you, my valued client.

Thank you for considering me on your journey to healing and growth. If you’re ready to take the first step, I offer a free phone consultation where we can discuss your needs and how I can best support you. Don’t hesitate to reach out – I’m here to listen and help.

Call me today on 0476 407 437 to book your free consultation. I look forward to connecting with you!

Take care, Tim
