I support teens and adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties, grief, stress, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. You may feel exhausted from masking, coping alone, overthinking, or trying to hold everything together possibly feeling misunderstood by family, friends, or others around you. Therapy offers a supportive space where you can feel genuinely heard, gain insight into your experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, improve relationships, and reconnect with a greater sense of safety, confidence, and direction.

My name is Bridie Mills (he/him), I'm a counsellor and psychotherapist living and working in Naarm (Melbourne). I deeply value my position as a collaborator with and witness to those I work with and foster my own genuine presence and curiousity throughout my work, and find that from this stance, I am able to offer specific responses to what each person uniquely brings to therapy. In this process I draw upon a number of therapeutic approaches, including Focusing-Oriented Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and Existential Therapy.

It can be overwhelming and daunting to find a therapist who understands you, your story and your life. You don’t want the “cookie cutter”answers or quick fixes because it feeds into the dissatisfaction and feelings of being unheard.

I understand that one needs significant courage to take the first step towards therapy, and therefore I aim to provide a safe environment where you will feel comfortable to openly discuss any issues in a non-judgmental, warm, empathic, and supportive manner. We will explore your current difficulties and invite you to consider what you would like to be different. You will set the direction for our work and I will walk alongside you, as we identify and work on the strategies and actions that support you the best to build the life you want.

As an openly queer, late-diagnosed AuDHD therapist, I specialise in working with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ adults and couples.
When people come to see me for therapy they're often feeling unseen, disconnected or emotionally exhausted in their relationships, day-to-day life or dating experiences. They may be experiencing communication breakdowns, "identity crises", low self-esteem, rejection sensitivity, people pleasing tendencies, sexual difficulties, burnout or confusion about what they’re truly wanting in life. I help couples and individuals understand themselves more deeply so that they can express themselves more effectively and connect more authentically in their relationships, whether that be with a partner, friends, their own children or family.

I have strong experience supporting complex trauma/PTSD, Autism, ADHD, eating disorders, OCD, depression, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, complex emotional needs and building functional skills.
Do you feel stuck in exhausting cycles of guilt, shame or self-doubt, even while appearing to function well on the outside? Difficult home environments, trauma, or neurodivergence may have shaped how you see yourself, leaving you silently battling intense thoughts and emotions. Perhaps you’ve been through painful experiences that others (or yourself) might not see as trauma yet they’ve had a deep impact. Trauma isn’t always one big event; it can come from ongoing experiences like emotional neglect, criticism, bullying, or growing up around conflict. My passion is working with complex trauma often accompanied with neurodivergence.

Free yourself from unprocessed emotion and painful memories. I work with people who are looking to free themselves from unhealed trauma and unhealthy relational patterning. If you are seeking support with the intention of breaking long held patterns and beliefs, then I would love to work with you. I use altered states of consciousness to move blocked energy- breathwork, transcendental meditation, EMDR and dream rescripting are a few of the techniques available to process life experiences and move forward with purpose, presence and peace.

Working with the mind and the body is the key to true healing and transformation. You've possibly done lots of therapy, you have so much awareness but things still are not changing. Maybe it feels like you're going around in circles, even like you're back at square one. It's not that what you've been doing isn't working, but awareness alone isn't enough. Awareness without embodiment will keep us stuck in those same patterns and cycles of stress, anxiety, burnout, unfulfilling relationships, etc. - this is particularly true for those with C-PTSD when those patterns have been learnt early and are deeply ingrained.

As a clinical sex and relationship therapist, I work with folks from different walks of life, yet all who feel stuck in their relationship, their bodies or sex lives wondering "how did I get here?" or "is it possible to work through this?". My specialties include relationship therapy, sexual anxiety, desire discrepancy/low sexual desire, discovering sexuality at all life stages, non-monogamy and neurodivergence. I invite you into conversations that are a soft and collaborative blend of theory and practical where we might explore your personal definition of pleasure, but also what does it actually mean to be in your body.
