Mrs Carly Kelly-Fairweather, M.Couns

Registered Counselor

“I have over 20 years working as a counsellor in the areas of grief and loss, disability, parenting, relationships and invididual work.”

About Me

With over two decades of experience, I offer compassionate support for individuals and couples. I help clients navigate diverse life challenges, including grief, loss, disability, parenting, and relationships. Our sessions provide a calm, dedicated space. Here, you can explore feelings and make sense of experiences at your own pace. My extensive background makes me a strong match for those seeking seasoned guidance for clarity and resilience.

Approach

Years of practice shape a steady, practical way of working: sessions are paced to meet you where you are, whether in my Brisbane office or online. I focus on noticing what matters most, naming stuck patterns and trying small, manageable steps between sessions so change feels possible amid competing responsibilities or health-related adjustments. I balance careful listening with clear psychoeducation and reflective tasks tailored to your rhythm. This approach often suits people navigating parenting, relationships or major life transitions who want grounded, doable support.
