Meet Pettina
Noosa-based psychotherapist Pettina Stanghon brings almost two decades of frontline clinical experience to every session — across relationship breakdown, family crisis, addiction, burnout, and complex personal and professional dynamics.
Holding a Bachelor of Applied Social Science and qualified as an NLP Master Practitioner, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Marriage, Relational Counsellor and Mediator — Pettina's clinical range is rare.
Founder of Noosa Confidential — one of Australia's leading integrated mental health and addiction facilities — she works with individuals, couples, families, and businesses across Australia and internationally.
Warm, direct, and relentlessly practical — she cuts through personal, cultural, and societal beliefs keeping people stuck. No endless emotional processing. No rigid frameworks. Solution-focused and forward-looking, Pettina blends behavioural science, neuroscience, and lived experience to help clients get clear, do the work, and create change that holds.
I am a solution focused therapist and believe firmly in the saying "you don’t roll in the mud, if you want to get clean."
Conversations on growth, change, and what it really takes to evolve.
