About US
Our Journey and Purpose
Red Door Counselling and Consultancy was established in 2020 to support healthcare professionals and adult learners facing the real pressures of demanding roles and career uncertainty. Founded by Amanda Cawthorne-Crosby, the practice is built on extensive experience across medical education and hospital-based training environments.
Working closely with junior doctors, clinicians, primary health care workers and allied health workers, one issue became consistently clear – there was limited support that encompassed an independent, confidential space to step outside the workplace and think clearly about challenges, direction, and wellbeing.
Red Door was created to fill that gap. It provides a structured, grounded environment where individuals can step back, gain perspective, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and control.

About US
Experience That Informs Every Conversation
Amanda brings deep, hands-on experience from working directly within healthcare and education systems. As Senior Medical Education Officer at Alice Springs Hospital, she developed a nationally recognised program and was awarded both the Northern Territory and National Prevocational Clinical Educator of the Year in 2012.
Her work with students, junior doctors, and clinicians across diverse environments gives her a practical understanding of the pressures, expectations, and realities of clinical life. Combined with her ongoing Master of Counselling, this ensures every conversation is grounded, relevant, and outcome-focused.
Clients don’t receive generic guidance – they gain insight shaped by real-world experience, helping them think more clearly, build confidence, and take meaningful steps forward.
