Hi, I am Michelle Tonnaer and a Qualified and ACA-Registered Counsellor, based in QLD but available nationally. I provide professional guidance via telehealth to help you navigate today’s challenges from the comfort of your own home, and feel more prepared for whatever comes next, whether in relationships, (co)parenting, child & teen behaviours, grief & loss, IVF, family conflict, mediation or other family dispute resolutions, abuse, addiction, or discovering your personal and professional growth.

Family disputes can be stressful and overwhelming, whether they involve parenting arrangements, property or financial matters, spousal support, or extended family conflicts. While mediators and lawyers focus on resolving the disputes, you may need additional support to manage emotions, cope with stress, and maintain healthy relationships.

Family Dispute Mediation Counselling

Preschool - 18yo. You might be noticing changes in your child, whether they are a preschooler just starting to explore their emotions or a teenager beginning to pull away, feel overwhelmed, or struggle with who they are becoming. From the earliest years through adolescence, these stages are full of big feelings, questions, and quiet shifts as they grow and discover their place in the world.

Hope, uncertainty, maybe even grief or quiet fears that are hard to name. It is a deeply personal path, and no one fully prepares you for the emotional weight it can carry. IVF counselling at Siluna Mind is here to offer that space. Whether you are on your own or in a partnership, we gently support you in exploring what this journey means for you emotionally before, during, or after the process.

IVF counselling

Whether you are navigating communication struggles, co-parenting complexities, or the big life transition of retirement. These moments can bring up frustration, distance, or uncertainty. Together, we will work on improving communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding connection, helping you face these changes with greater trust, clarity, and hope for the future.

Relationship Couples & individual Counselling

Growth is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself. Every step forward, no matter how small, builds your strength, your confidence, and your sense of purpose. Starting your journey means choosing yourself, your potential, your wellbeing, and your future. It is about trusting that you are capable of more, and that you deserve a life and career that truly fit who you are.
