Life is not a fairytale…
We all grew up with Cinderella stories and happily ever after endings. But most of us know by now that’s not how life works! I always wish they made a Cinderella Part 2, which shows how her and her Prince negotiate the ups and downs of life…in-laws, losses, communication issues, children, bills etc etc. Life is rocky and holding on to fairytale ideals may not always be helpful. It’s important to realise that everyone (even Cinderella) has ups and downs in life; they are normal and natural and healthily working through them can enrich your life and help you grow as a person.
So when life is not going as smoothly as you would like, don’t ignore it, it may just be time to call Honni Hayton Counselling to assist you to negotiate the road ahead.
At Honni Hayton Counselling you can:
- Heal the Past – be free from the things that hold you back
- Examine the Present – take an objective and authentic look at life for you now
- Plan for the Future – develop strategies for the future you want
Because life is not a fairytale… it’s better!

Face to Face Counselling
Honni realises the importance of a comfortable counselling space and has created just that at the Boonah Practice. From the moment clients enter the counselling room, they begin to relax. Details such as aroma therapy used during sessions, the option of comfy chairs or bean bags, air conditioning and a peaceful rural outlook of Mt French, all go to creating a counselling space that is both calm and inviting.
Online Counselling
We all know how busy modern life is, and fitting in appointments can be difficult. This is one of the reasons On Line Counselling Sessions are very popular. Clients can be anywhere in the world and still participate in counselling sessions with Honni. Clients log on from the comfort of their own home, or even their workplace during their lunch break. It’s so convenient, saves time and can be just as effective as face to face sessions.
In Home Counselling
For those who are unable to come to the Practice, and who live local to the Scenic Rim and Boonah regions, In Home Counselling sessions are available. Please contact Honni to apply for this option.

But we all know, relationships are difficult, a divorce rate of approximately 40% attests to that. Engaging in counselling may help you as a couple.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Honni offers a range of modalities in her Practice such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), Solution Focused, Psychodynamic, Gestalt Symbol and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and tailors the counselling session to each individual.
EMDR is proving very popular with Honni’s clients as it is very effective with long lasting results.
EMDR is a powerful psychological treatment that has been used effectively for over 20 years in a variety of international settings and cultures with many different types of psychological distress such as:
- Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Addictions
- Disturbing Memories and more
The process of EMDR works on the idea that each day’s memories are processed during REM sleep. However, traumatic events can sometimes get stored behind a phobic barrier in the brain, and are not processed. These can then lay dormant, cloaked in all the sensory, material of when the event happened. These memories can get triggered and then hijack the persons present life. During EMDR, carefully chosen target memories are selected for re-processing, by simulating eye movements. After processing, the memories are not forgotten but no longer have a negative impact on a person’s life.
Many of Honni’s clients have benefitted from EMDR Therapy and are surprised how quick and lasting the results are. They are experiencing the healing of past hurts and enjoying a new perspective and freedom in their lives.

I am passionate about empowering others to live their best life and have dedicated most of my working career to doing just that. After graduating from USQ with a Psychology degree in 1992, I started my career as a Youth Worker at a crisis shelter for homeless teenagers in Brisbane city. After marrying and starting a family I then went on to complete a Graduate Diploma in Counselling at CHC. In 2004, our love for the country lead us to move to the beautiful Scenic Rim. As well as running my Counselling Practice I have also worked as an Aged Care and Community Chaplain. I have been married to Tony for 25 years and have five amazing children ranging from 24 years to 10.
It is important to choose a counsellor that you have good rapport with. I believe that my experiences, both career wise and personal, assist me to be the counsellor I am today. I am able to draw on my wide range of training and experience to deliver a quality counselling service. I am a true believer that where there is life, there is hope. And even if you can’t see it at the moment, I can help move towards the light at the end of the tunnel.
I value my qualifications and years of training, but at the end of the day, I am not an expert on your life….you are. Together we can look at where you come from, where you are now and where do you want to be in the future.
