Family Counselling

Gold Coast & Mudgeeraba

 

Family counselling can help your household rebuild trust, strengthen communication and create healthier, more respectful ways of relating to one another. Whether your family is facing conflict, behavioural challenges, stress, blended family changes or emotional disconnection, support is available.

I’m Leigh Barber, a registered counsellor at Master of Your Universe Counselling in Mudgeeraba on the Gold Coast. I work with families of all shapes and sizes—parents, children, teens, blended families and caregivers—helping each person feel heard, understood and supported.

​

What Family Counselling Can Help With

 

Family counselling is especially helpful for:

• Ongoing conflict or frequent arguments

• Communication breakdowns

• Children or teens struggling emotionally or behaviourally

• Parenting disagreements

• Blended family challenges

• Separation or co-parenting stress

• Trauma, grief or major life changes

• Feeling disconnected or “on different pages”

​

Every family brings its own dynamics and history. My role is to help you understand those patterns, reduce tension and rebuild connection with practical, achievable strategies.

​

What to Expect in a Family Counselling Session

 

Sessions are calm, respectful and structured to ensure all voices are heard—including children and teens. I support your family to create healthier ways of communicating, expressing emotions and solving problems.

Together we work on:

• Understanding the root cause of conflict

• Improving communication skills for all ages

• Strengthening emotional safety within the home

• Learning how to manage strong emotions respectfully

• Supporting children and teens in expressing themselves

• Creating consistent parenting approaches

• Rebuilding trust and connection

• Establishing routines and boundaries that actually work

I use evidence-based approaches tailored to your family’s needs, culture and values. You’ll leave with practical tools you can use at home straight away.

​

Why Families Seek Counselling

 

Families often come because daily life feels overwhelming or everyone is stuck in repeating cycles of conflict or disconnect. Others simply want to strengthen relationships or prevent issues from growing.

Whatever brings you here, we will:

• Identify what each family member needs

• Set shared goals everyone agrees on

• Work at a pace that feels safe for the whole family

• Build long-term strategies that support harmony and understanding

Family counselling is not about blame—it’s about problem-solving, connection and creating a healthier, calmer home life.
