Who cares for the carer?

Who cares for the carer?

Hi, I'm Jacqui and I am passionate about caring for carers.

If you're reading this, chances are you spend a lot of time thinking about others.

You're the one who shows up, who plans ahead, who holds it all together, often while quietly running on empty.

Care Coach exists because I believe the people who care deserve just as much support, insight, and encouragement.

Investing in yourself isn't about adding one more thing to your list. It's about finally having someone to care for you.

I'm a qualified nurse, counsellor and clinical supervisor with years of experience working alongside family and professional carers.

If you want someone in your corner, connect with me via the form below.

Warmly,

Jacqui Cousins

Nurse, Counsellor & Clinical Supervisor.

Are you a family, professional or dual carer?

Dual carers are people who care for people at home and at work.

Counselling

This practice provides counselling for family, professional and dual carers.

My counselling approach is to adapt to the needs of each carer and I use of range of therapies to support your health & wellbeing.

With almost 30 years experience working in health and community services, I understand the pressures experienced by family and professional carers.

I have a special interest in counselling for people who are recovering from institutional harm, including medical trauma and workplace bullying. Both a common experience for carers.

I understand the mental burden that comes with experiencing a psychological injury and the value of having a compassionate clinician to support recovery.

Whether you want one session to work through an issue, or several to support your emotional health, I am here to care for you. These sessions are inclusive of counselling and coaching.

Carer Coaching

Coaching sessions* are designed to help you focus on the future.

I work with family, professional and dual carers to identify what isn't working and develop personal goals that align with your values.

Sessions focus on:

  • supporting carers to reflect on their role and what they want for the future

  • developing boundaries, communication and problem‑solving skills

  • managing stress, fatigue, and the mental load of caring

  • helping carers navigate community, disability, or health services with greater confidence

  • developing a sustainable carer plan

If you would like a few coaching sessions to work on your carer or career goals, connect with me via the form below.

*These sessions are suited for carers looking for a next step to counselling.

Clinical Supervision

Are you a professional carer?

Would you like a mentor to support and encourage you?

Clinical supervision

My approach to clinical supervision is care for the carer.

I support practitioners to develop their practice alongside a sustainable self-care plan that safeguards their heath.

Together we explore the pressure points in your work, discuss strategies to reduce stress and reflect on cases that you are concerned about.

Online and onsite sessions available.

Group supervision

For those who like learning in a group, I provide group supervision for community, hospital and primary health teams, and spiritual health providers.

To attend a community group reflective practice session, see Humanitix for the next available session - more details below.

Alternatively you can book a discovery call to discuss your needs. Connect with me via the form below.

Community and Workplace training

  • Have you completed training that wasn't effectively utilised?

  • Would you like help finding training that best suits your team or community group?

For individual practitioners

Improving our health knowledge reduces stigma and promotes recovery. However when health information leaves us feeling overwhelmed or exhausted, it loses its effectiveness.

I conduct an individual assessment of your career goals and assist you to identify training that meets your needs.

For teams

I assist leaders to identify training that will meet the needs of the team.

I conduct a needs analysis to develop a training package that will support all members of your team or community group. And most importantly, find training that suits your budget.

Contact me for more information.

Seeking professional support outside your organisation?

Do you want to safeguard against burnout?

In small groups of 6 you will connect with colleagues in your field, learn new skills to support your practice and reduce your risk of burnout.

My role as facilitator is to provide a psychologically safe environment, manage time and support the group's professional learning.

Monthly sessions are available for community health providers, dual carers, NDIS support workers and youth and school workers. Join a group via Humanitix.

*Sessions are delivered within a Structured Cooperative Group Reflective Practice model.
