Who is a good Brisbane therapist/organisation for a shopping addiction?

Hey everyone, I have a shopping addiction. I've had it for a long time. It's always toeing the line right up to DANGER ZONE...Can anyone recommend a specific therapist/organisation/approach to help me??

Last year I spent 44k on clothes!! So I spent 44k on clothes, BUT then I sold $42k on clothes. That's not a bad number overall but buying clothes really does consume me!!

Most of those clothes were second-hand (I love thrifting). Regardless, I felt so guilty everytime I purchased something I immediately sold a piece of clothing I already owned or at least put it up for sale online...as a result I sold many things I still really liked but I sold them out of guilt.

About 1/3 of what I sold I made a profit on, as I has specifially purchased it for re-sale, flip purchases. When shopping I use the excuse that I'm shopping to re-sell at a higher price, as I really do have a good knack for that stuff. But honestly I'm usually looking for myself.

I really need help as this has been going on my whole life!

Thank you.
