Counselling to support your relationship to thrive.
Carrie Hatchett
Relationship Counsellor
B. Soc. Sci (Counselling & Human Behaviour), Registered Counsellor Level 4
I help couples make sense of the past, heal from the pain, and reconnect with both themselves and their partner, discovering new levels of enjoyment and intimacy in their relationship.
Experience you can rely on…
I have dedicated my career to supporting others to have healthy and connected lives and relationships. With 20 years of professional experience, you can be sure that my approach is based on quality knowledge, education and real-life application.
My previous employment includes working with Relationships Australia where I provided Family and Relationship Counselling as well as counselling for mental health, gambling and substance use.
Background
After graduating with a Bachelor of Social Science (Counselling & Human Behaviour) in 2001, I knew I wanted to work with couples to support strong and intimate relationships. I have always been passionate about healthy relationships and the positive impact it has on children and our community.
My focus to specialise in this area led me to work with individuals and couples across government and community organisations in Queensland. The experience I gained in these roles further supported my passion to help couples not only have happy relationships, but to have relationships that THRIVE.
With this focus, I have studied extensively intimacy in relationships, positive psychology and practical methods for supporting sustainable change.
Random bits about me:
I love art, specifically drawing and painting.
I love being in nature, hiking our national parks is a favourite pastime.
The longest hike I have been on was a 6 day thru-hike, camping each night.
