Compassionate, evidence-based counselling for individuals and couples, right here on the Surf Coast.

At Sunnymead Counselling, we provide evidence-based therapy to support individuals and couples through life’s challenges at locations in both Torquay and Lorne. Our warm and caring space offers the opportunity to reflect, build understanding, and discover new paths toward wellbeing. Most importantly, we believe therapy works best when it’s grounded in genuine connection and mutual respect. We will meet you where you are, honour your unique story, and support you to find greater clarity, resilience, and growth.

Currently my books are closed but please feel free to contact me to be placed on a new client waitlist.

Amy Adair
Sunnymead Counselling

Hello, I’m Amy, a Masters qualified and fully accredited mental health social worker with more than ten years of experience supporting individuals and couples through life’s up’s and down’s. Over this time, I’ve come to deeply value the transformative nature of counselling—the way it can open space for new perspectives, healing, and change. My approach is warm, gentle, and curious, always guided by the belief that each person’s story unfolds best at their own pace.

I have a special interest in relationship counselling and in working alongside individuals navigating times of stress, change or challenges. Whether I’m working with a couple wanting to rebuild connection or an individual seeking clarity and balance, my role is to create a safe, supportive environment where growth can take shape.

Having lived on the Surf Coast with my family for the past decade, I feel fortunate to call this unique place home. I love the rhythm of being close to both the beach and the bush, and I often find inspiration in the natural beauty of the area. Outside of my counselling work, you’ll often find me surfing, swimming, making a piece of pottery or sharing good food and conversation with friends and family.

I believe that therapy is not about quick fixes, but about creating space for understanding, self-compassion, and meaningful change. It’s a privilege to walk alongside people as they explore their inner world and discover new ways of relating—to themselves, to others, and to life’s challenges. If you’re considering counselling, I’d be honoured to support you on your journey.
