Individual sessions · In person
In-person counselling in Maroochydore.
Time to talk, without booking a retreat or staying overnight.
A conversation, arranged around you.
An unhurried private conversation. What you want to use it for is yours to decide, and you don’t need to arrive with it worked out.
Counselling is with Deb Pepperdine or Ian Trew, one to one, and we agree who you’ll be seeing beforehand. There’s nothing to prepare and no form to fill in first.
Sessions take place in Maroochydore, near Cotton Tree on the Sunshine Coast. The place and the practical details are confirmed with you when the appointment is made; there is no walk-in service.
Tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll be in touch to talk it through — who you’d see, and when — and confirm the arrangements with you before anything is booked.
Beach Health Retreat is a non-clinical wellbeing service, not a medical or psychiatric treatment service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 000. Lifeline is available any time on 13 11 14.
What guests say about talking with Deb and Ian.
These guests came for a residential retreat rather than a single session, and describe the personal attention they were given. Their words, shortened where marked.
“Thank you Deb and Ian. Such a wonderful unique experience that both Sarina and I will never forget. You provided a personal, professional and genuine service on all fronts. The input and insight you gave us during our stay will resonate with us for life. … we left feeling a part of your family.”
“A wonderful rejuvenating experience -- after just one week I feel like a new woman! … Deb & Ian are compassionate and flexible, very dedicated to their clients’ happiness … Room was spacious and beautifully decorated. All my activities were personalised to suit my needs, and the beach air is such a blessing”
