I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the community sector. Having worked in both urban and regional locations in Australia, and in community-based roles in the UK and Canada, I pride myself on being able to connect with people from all walks of life. I've worked with people of all genders, sexualities, cultures and abilities. Whilst working on Vancouver Island, I ran addictions support groups made up of an assortment of individuals. Homeless folks would be facing similar issues to investment banker-types. This led to me becoming more interested in the universality of trauma and PTSD.

Kat provides a warm, non-judgmental counselling space to encourage clients to be open, curious and self-accepting of their emotions. She believes therapy is a place to explore and unpack problems, develop self-awareness and create coping strategies suited to the individual.

Working with me is a collaborative process, oriented by curiosity, acceptance and choice. Sessions provide opportunity to rekindle awareness for what you most need and want, build trust in your wisest impulses, and reconnect with ways of living that disrupt harm, promote healing and support ease of being.

Disconnected. Anxious. Overwhelmed. Struggling. Uninspired. Challenged. Hurting. Numb. Any of these experiences resonate? Often when people seek therapy there is an internal voice which is stating a longing for change. Therapy offers a space to become curious about the how and why we may have found ourselves stuck. It offers time to attune to your internal world and make meaning, move with and through complexity and orient toward new goals. Working with individuals 14+ I practice with a trauma-informed, evidence-based, collaborative and creative focus.

Hi, I’m Auður. I am an integrative psychotherapist. From an early age, I have been intrigued by the human experience and its possibilities. In therapy, I aim to provide an environment of curiosity and acceptance to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself. I believe that every person has a natural inclination toward growth, healing and wholeness, and I work to foster your autonomy and sense of self while ensuring that therapy is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

My approach to therapy is warm and person-centred, holding the unique nature and rich history of each client at the forefront of our work together. I work with clients to create a collaborative, explorative, and relational container through which understanding, compassion, and insight may be fostered. At the core of my approach is a deep sense of positive regard, and a strong belief in each individual’s capacity for lasting and meaningful change. I endeavour to deliver an attuned and safe therapeutic encounter, one which restores connection to self, other, and the world in which we live.

Hi, my name is Josh. I specialise in working with clients with trauma (PTSD), anxiety, depression and chronic conditions by facilitating Body-Mind Processing practices. I use Buddhist Psychotherapy as my therapeutic framework. Buddhist Psychotherapy is a non-religious, brain science-focused and compassion-oriented framework, which can combine evidence-based counselling methods with body-mind integrative practices for a restored sense of wellbeing. My practice focuses on the body’s innate wisdom to work out solutions to the presented issues, as well as working with emotions as the vehicles to connect body-and-mind.

My ideal participant in art therapy is someone grappling with emotional complexities, carrying the weight of unresolved issues like trauma, anxiety, or self-doubt. They need a safe space to express their thoughts through art, aiming to untangle their inner knots and find relief in colors and textures. Their ultimate goal is self-discovery and transformation, seeking meaning and renewal through creative self-expression. They want to liberate themselves from the shadows that cloud their spirit and embark on a journey of healing through art because it offers them a unique pathway to understanding, growth, and self-empowerment.

My name is Ru, and I am an Integrative Psychotherapist. I work in Thornbury, as well as online. I attempt to create a space which allows the client to explore their own minds, to be able to better understand how they wish to show up in the world. I believe psychotherapy is a powerful modality, which can assist people to work through distressing events and experiences, but also can be utilised as a tool for self-actualisation and insight. I tailor my approach according to the needs of each client and focus on a collaborative approach.

I provide a space for you to speak, to express your thoughts, outside your circle of family and friends. A space for possibilities, where you can form new ideas and to find a way forward in your life.

I feel deep compassion for the people I work with and genuinely care for their well-being. I won't try to fix you because I don't believe you're broken. Instead, I aim to reconnect you with your inherent wisdom and strength, while also offering some guidance along the way. I can support you if you are experiencing: anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, poor self-esteem, and persistent self-criticism. I am trauma-informed and sensitive to the way that difficult life experiences can affect our emotions, relationships and behaviours.

Would resources, insight, and a companion to explore the intricacy of your life be supportive? I offer inclusive, embodied, trauma-informed, and relational psychotherapy, for individuals and couples, aiming to create spaces of trust for you to explore the complexity of your life/lives. Using a collaborative, relational, and embodied approach, I have experience supporting clients who are living with; depression, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and emotional and existential disturbance.

As a Somatic Psychotherapist, I believe that great power lies in gently unveiling the core origin of the challenges we are experiencing. How energised, connected, calm and resilient we are is so deeply linked with how we feel in both our mind and our bodies. With a collaborative approach, I support you to gently and curiously explore your past and current challenges & experiences, while also unravelling old trauma's that may be impacting your life and relationships. My endeavour is for this work to help you cultivate strong inner foundations and resources; empowering you to expand your innate capacity for growth and transformation.
