Welcome to Live Happy Hub, where you are supported to live your life, happy.
The philosophy of Live Happy Hub (LHH) is not to slap on a smile and fake it until you make it. The heart of LHH is to empower you to face what you need to face and make the sometimes difficult decisions that ultimately result in you living a happy life. I recently heard someone say, “the hard work of happiness”, and this is exactly what LHH supports you to do. Here at LHH we try to live by example and do our own “hard work” to maintain a happy life. We enjoy engaging in the current hub of services that are provided, but services may be added or changed as time goes on… we want to live a happy life just as much as you do. What makes one person happy may be different to what makes another person happy, and we can each support the other in our shared goal of happy living.

Services
Online Therapy (EMDR)
Online therapy is a happy alternative to in-person therapy and may suit people who are time poor, remote, or who simply prefer digital interactions. Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing is an effective treatment for PTSD and trauma, and is also helpful in the management of experiences such as stress, grief, anxiety, and depression. More information can be found at the EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA), https://emdraa.org/emdr-resources/
Cost: $180 Medicare bulk billing available
Performance Support (EMDR)
Even the highest of professionals require additional support at times, including CEOs, athletes, creative performers, or public speakers. Whether you perform in these roles professionally or do so through a personal interest, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing can assist you in overcoming the mental blocks or anxiety that can interfere with you performing to your highest ability and enjoyment. Appointments occur online, with some flexibility to see you "in action" for Gold Coast clients.
Cost: $180 / hour Medicare rebates available
Declutter
We all benefit from having a calming (physical) home environment, but this does not come naturally to us all! Similar to living a happy life, we may have different definitions of what calm looks and feels like, but we receive the same benefits - improved mood, decrease in stress & anxiety, increased energy and focus. The objective is not to create a Pinterest or Instagram worthy home - our goal is to work alongside you to create a functional home environment that brings you peace and happiness.
