Welcome to Liberty Psychotherapy, a counselling and psychotherapy practice based in Buderim on the Sunshine Coast.
I’m Stacey, a trauma-informed psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals and families move from surviving to thriving through genuine connection, understanding and care.

Before stepping into private practice, I spent more than two decades in roles that demanded calm under pressure and resilience in crisis. Serving first in the military and then as a paramedic in a metropolitan emergency service. These years shaped my understanding of trauma, resilience, and the quiet courage it takes to rebuild when life feels unmanageable.

I’ve stood alongside colleagues as they navigated PTSD, burnout, and moral injury, offering support in spaces where silence often reigns. Alongside this, I’ve worked with women rebuilding after domestic violence, individuals in recovery from addiction and homelessness, and families learning to reconnect after instability.

As a mother of two, I bring not only professional expertise but a lived appreciation of the complexities of family life, the push and pull between love, boundaries, and growth. I have completed additional training in counselling children and adolescents and often work with families to strengthen relationships and create emotional safety at home.

Having personally journeyed through trauma, burnout, and identity transformation, I believe that healing doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens in connection. The heart of my work lies in helping people build healthier relationships with themselves and those they love, interrupting cycles of generational trauma, and nurturing self-compassion, meaning, and hope.

It’s from this place that I offer my work, a grounded, trauma-informed space where you can rediscover safety, resilience, and a renewed sense of self.
