Hi, I’m Kiran, and I created The Happy Space as a place for people to feel supported, empowered, and grounded — a space where healing and growth come together. I help individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by anxiety, trauma, ADHD, fear, or self-doubt to find clarity, shift unhelpful patterns, and take meaningful steps toward a life that feels calm, aligned, and fulfilling.

My Approach

What makes my work unique is the integration of counselling and coaching, grounded in real-world experience, evidence-based strategies, and a strong belief in the power of experiential learning.

You don’t have to choose between healing and action. Our sessions create space for both — exploring emotional challenges through counselling, while also supporting you to take practical, empowering steps forward through coaching and experiential therapy.

I offer 1:1 sessions either online or through Walk and Talk therapy on the southern Gold Coast. We can also explore creative and holistic therapies like art, music, and meditation in our sessions — tailored to what feels right for you.

My practice is informed by evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based interventions, solution-focused techniques, and strengths-based frameworks, complemented by my professional training as both a Mental Health Social Worker and an ICF Level 2 Coach. Additionally, I am a qualified outdoor guide with extensive experience facilitating experiential therapy programs for both young people and adults.

Why I Do This Work

Having navigated gender, cultural, and societal barriers in my own life, I understand how limiting beliefs can be shaped by conditioning — and how scary it can be to face them. But what I’ve learned is that the other side is powerful.

I spent several years involved in skydiving, even competing with a team that won medals at a national level. What people don’t often realise is that I was terrified for hundreds of those jumps — fear was always present, and I was far from a natural. But something kept me going. Over time, I learned how to manage fear, stay grounded, and shift my mindset, one step (and one jump) at a time.

That experience taught me that courage looks different for everyone. For some, it’s jumping out of a plane. For others, it’s getting out of the house, saying no, or asking for help — and all of it matters. I bring this understanding into my work, creating a space where you can explore your own version of growth, with support that meets you where you are.

Heal. Grow. Thrive.
