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.

I am a Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about supporting individuals of all ages and walks of life. I specialise in helping those who feel overwhelmed by past trauma, struggle with emotional regulation, or face challenges such as grief, anxiety, depression, or relationship and attachment difficulties. Many of my clients are also navigating neurodiversity, existential questions, or working to change intergenerational patterns. Together, we focus on healing, restoring a sense of control, building emotional awareness, and fostering self-compassion and healthy boundaries.

I’m Ru, an Integrative Psychotherapist. Psychotherapy supports both the processing of distressing experiences and the development of self-actualisation and insight. My approach is grounded in attachment and developmental perspectives, as well as systems and psychodynamic theories. I am guided by trauma-informed principles and use somatic practices, recognising that our bodies hold valuable insights into our inner experiences. I work a lot with personality disorders and CPTSD.

Hello! My name is Zane (they/them) and I am a non-binary and neurodivergent counsellor. I work with adolescents and adults of all genders seeking support with a variety of challenges. These include anxiety, depression, self-worth, navigating neurodiversity (including ADHD and autism), exploring gender identity and/or sexuality, body image issues, grief around life transitions, chronic illness and chronic pain. Are you stuck in cycles of overwhelm that you just can’t seem to get out of? Do you struggle with shame and self-criticism? Do you have a strong sense that something needs to change, but you don’t know where to start?

You are here because you feel like you (or someone you know) may need therapy and are reading through profiles of strangers, scrolling through their videos and photos. It's a pretty common part of being on the internet nowadays, along with scrolling through memes and videos of food and cats. You may be looking for connection. Someone who speaks to you and may get you and your life story. I know what’s like, because I’ve been on that side of the screen going through that same process. Today may not be the day you choose to call or email, but you are scoping what’s there and most of it may sound pretty similar profile to profile.

I have a strong desire to support LGBTQIA+ people from an Asian background who struggle with intergenerational trauma. They might have faced a lot of hardship growing up, especially finding themselves within the intersectionality of being Asian, LGBTQIA+ and possibly an immigrant/first/second-generation. They might want to know where they fit and how they can find like-minded people. Those are the people I am passionate supporting.
