Welcome
At Sunshine Coast Adolescent Behaviour and Wellbeing Support, we provide warm, professional support for children, adolescents, and families through conversation-based sessions grounded in emotional understanding.
Sunshine Coast Adolescent Behaviour & Wellbeing Support offers caring, personalised support for adolescents and their families. We specialise in conversation-based sessions grounded in the principles of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) to help young people better understand their behaviour, emotions, and social experiences.
Our services provide a safe and non-judgmental space for teens to feel seen and heard, while also supporting parents with practical guidance and strategies to navigate challenging behaviours. We also work collaboratively with schools to develop individualised support plans that promote consistency and positive outcomes.
Whether your young person is facing emotional distress, behavioural challenges, or just needs someone to talk to — we’re here to help with compassion, experience, and evidence-based practices.

What we do
At the heart of Sunshine Coast Adolescent Behaviour and Wellbeing Support is Brad—an experienced educator, adolescent behaviour specialist, and wellbeing practitioner with a passion for helping young people thrive.
Brad holds a Bachelor of Education, with university specialisations in behaviour management and psychology, and has completed all theoretical components of a Diploma of Counselling (practicum pending). His professional journey includes over 20 years of school-based experience, delivering numerous Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs, leading wellbeing initiatives, and supporting young people with complex behavioural and emotional needs.
Brad has also undertaken training in Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) and applies this expertise to better understand the ‘why’ behind behaviour, helping young people and their families build lasting, practical solutions.
Brad’s Focus and Method:
Brad creates a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space for adolescents to explore their emotional world and make sense of their behaviours. Grounded in real-world experience, social-emotional learning, and behavioural psychology, his approach is strength-based, relational, and highly personalised.
Brad’s sessions support adolescents to:
- Understand and regulate emotions
- Build insight into behavioural patterns and social challenges
- Develop effective communication and coping skills
- Reconnect with their strengths, values, and goals
He also works closely with parents and caregivers, offering strategies, reassurance, and honest conversations to help strengthen family relationships.
✅ What Brad does:
- Builds strong, trusting relationships with adolescents
- Supports emotional regulation, behaviour change, and resilience
- Offers practical tools for young people and their families
- Guides parents with empathy and clarity
- Collaborates with schools and professionals for wraparound support
- Brings real-life experience and educational insight into every session
❌ What Brad does not do:
- He does not diagnose, medicate, or offer clinical psychological treatment
- He does not pathologise or label young people
- He is not a psychologist but works in complementary and practical ways
- He does not use one-size-fits-all strategies—every young person is unique
Brad believes that when young people feel seen, heard, and supported, positive change becomes possible. His mission is to help young people rediscover their strengths, overcome limiting beliefs, and move forward with confidence—and to ensure that parents feel equipped, empowered, and never alone in the journey.
If your adolescent is feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to find their path, Brad may be the bridge that helps your family move toward understanding, growth, and lasting change.
