About HeadQuarters
WE ARE ABOUT PREVENTION
At HeadQuarters Counselling Services (HQCS), we believe prevention is powerful. Every person has the capacity to understand and influence their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — to think smart, feel smart, and live smart.
Our work centres on strengthening emotional health before challenges become overwhelming. We support clients to build awareness, develop emotional regulation skills, and create healthier internal patterns that naturally improve their mental wellbeing.
When people learn to recognise, name, and manage their emotions — positive or negative — they often find their relationships, confidence, and decision‑making improve across every area of life. Emotional health becomes the foundation for navigating setbacks with clarity and resilience.
After working with the HQCS team, clients describe feeling more grounded, more self‑aware, and more capable of understanding the root cause of their difficulties. With this insight, they’re able to make intentional choices and move forward with confidence.

As host of the Not Your Average Counsellor podcast, Vee explores the messy, meaningful, and often humorous realities of being human. She brings warmth and straight talk to conversations about relationships, identity, emotional health, and leadership, offering listeners practical tools to navigate life with more clarity and intention.

With a unique blend of therapeutic expertise and educational insight, she brings a grounded, practical, and emotionally intelligent approach to her work with clients of all ages.

Her career spans diverse settings across Western Australia, Victoria, and the Northern Territory.

The program received outstanding feedback and remains a testament to her creativity, leadership, and commitment to prevention‑focused mental health education.
While Chelsea has extensive experience with children and teens, she is equally passionate about relationship and couples work, supporting partners to understand their patterns, communicate effectively, and rebuild emotional safety.
