About Karen
I'm Karen Bramich, the counsellor behind The Boss Shift Counselling, and I offer counselling on the Gold Coast in person at Hope Island, along with online individual counselling across Australia.
Counselling with me is a genuine conversation. You can say things out loud, be heard and feel supported without judgement, and you do not need to arrive with everything worked out or explained perfectly.
Much of my work is about understanding the patterns that may be keeping you stuck — the reactions, habits and old stories that shape how you respond — so you can reconnect with yourself, think about what matters to you, and consider practical next steps toward greater clarity and confidence.
Support is tailored to you, your experiences, needs and goals, and I work at a pace that feels right for you.

My Counselling Services
ServicesAlcohol Counselling
My alcohol counselling is for anyone wondering whether alcohol is taking up more space than they want. You do not need a label or a decision already made — we can look at the patterns, triggers and what you would like to be different, together.
Anger Management
My anger management sessions are for people who react faster than they mean to and want to understand why. Anger is often a signal that something underneath needs attention, and we can look at that together without judgement.
Grief & Loss Counselling
My grief counselling offers a compassionate space to talk about what has changed. There is no right way to grieve and no timeline to keep to — we can move at whatever pace feels manageable for you.
Anxiety Counselling
My anxiety counselling is for people whose mind will not switch off. We can look at what keeps the worry going and talk through practical strategies — no diagnosis needed to make a start.
Self-Esteem, Confidence & Identity
My self-esteem counselling is for anyone asking who am I now, or what do I actually want. This is not about becoming someone different — it is about reconnecting with yourself.
Boundaries & People Pleasing
My people pleasing counselling is for anyone who says yes when they mean no. We can look at the guilt, the conflict you are avoiding and what you actually want — boundaries are not about becoming selfish.
Life Transitions, Stress & Burnout
My stress counselling is for people running on empty — exhausted, unable to switch off, or facing a big change and unsure what comes next. We can look at what is taking the most out of you.
Relationship Counselling
My relationship counselling gives couples a calm, balanced space to talk about communication, recurring conflict or disconnection, and uncertainty about what comes next. Relationship sessions are face-to-face in Hope Island.
A Step in the Right Direction
You do not need a diagnosis, a perfect explanation or everything worked out before getting in touch. The first step is simply to contact me and tell me what kind of appointment you are looking for.
I will explain the in-person and online options clearly before anything is booked.
How I Work With You
Counselling is personal, so I start by listening to what has brought you in and what you would like to change. I keep the process clear and grounded rather than assuming the same approach will suit everyone.
Warm, practical conversation
We talk like people rather than working through a script, and you decide what we focus on.
Your pace
I follow your lead on what to discuss and how quickly, so difficult ground is covered when you are ready.
Understanding what keeps you stuck
We look at the triggers and recurring patterns behind how you react, so they become easier to recognise and respond to differently.
Practical next steps, in person or online
We consider changes that fit your values and circumstances, in Hope Island or online across Australia, across alcohol use, anger, grief, anxiety, self-esteem, boundaries, life changes, stress and relationships.
