I'll help you find a way through whatever is bothering you by teaching you a different way of relating to your problems which will be a total relief. The changes you make will be lasting, life-enhancing and uniquely yours. You may have never had therapy, or be like many of the people I work with and have seen lots of other therapists before and nothing has really stuck. It could be a familiar old depression feeling creeping back in, you might be feeling conflicted about what to do about a situation, whatever it is, I can help. As a psychotherapist, I am unfortunately unable to offer Medicare rebates.

Hi, I'm Ana, founder of Galena Psychology. In my practice I intend to bring warmth and attunement, providing a nurturing space where clients can deepen self-awareness and cultivate personal growth. I have a special interest in supporting young women who struggle with low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and unresolved family trauma. My approach is ideal for those experiencing depression or feeling disconnected from themselves, as I guide them to find their strengths and build self-trust. It’s a privilege to support individuals in improving their lives, and I am very grateful to be part of people's healing journeys :)

Hi, my name is Josh. I specialise in working with clients with trauma (C/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.

Hello, I am a clinical psychologist who places great value in understanding clients' difficulties deeply and wholistically. As a migrant from Asia, I am fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, I have firsthand experience of uprooting from what is familiar and reestablishing in a new environment. I also bring into the therapy room an experience of major career change. I feel privileged to be able to help people make personal recovery from life-changing circumstances, in rebuilding hope, redefining self-identity, assuming / re-assuming responsibilities, and leading a meaningful life.

Do you frequently worry that your romantic partner won’t care about you as much as you care about them? Or that they won't love you for who you are or be there for you if you open up to them? If you're hoping to feel safe, loved, and accepted in your relationship or friendships, but you can never find people who make you feel this or you never give them the chance to do so, you likely have an attachment issue. I specialise in working with insecure attachment styles, working to help clients find security in a relationship for the first time and to develop a healthier, kinder view of themselves.

My approach to working with clients is collaborative and caring. I believe that the relationship between a client and therapist is one of the most important factors to successful therapy and building a strong, trusting foundation is key. I really enjoy supporting people to work through the emotional blocks which are preventing them from living their fullest life. The focus of my work is usually around developing an understanding a client's story and their unmet needs, supporting them to meet those needs, develop compassion for themselves, and cope with challenges.

You may want to see a psychologist if you are experiencing excessive worry, panicky feelings, low mood, low energy or loss of interest in things.

I work with mums of babies or young children who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, or overwhelm. They just want to be good parents, and worry they are failing. They are emotionally tuned to their children’s needs but want to do even better. Often, they feel guilty that they don’t enjoy parenting all the time, or that they lose their temper with their little ones.
