Annandale, NSW 2038
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, the impact of past or recent trauma, relationship difficulties, or a growing sense that life feels harder than it should. You might be seeking clarity about yourself, your child, or your situation and wanting practical support that actually makes a difference. Many of the people I work with are looking for understanding as much as solutions. They want a safe, calm space where they can make sense of their experiences, feel genuinely heard, and develop skills to cope more effectively.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 22 years of experience working in both Public Mental Health and Private Practice. I have had the privilege of meeting clients from a range of backgrounds and presenting with vastly different situations and challenges to their mental health (both in psychiatric hospitals and in the community). I see my role as one that firstly needs to create a sense of safety and comfort and secondly brings in empathic challenges so that as a team we work towards a life that has purpose and meaning. I use models of therapy that are backed by science and align with my own values.

Psychologist, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
Serves Area
I work best with individuals navigating trauma, mood or relationship difficulties, or long-standing patterns that feel hard to change. Some are dealing with anxiety, trauma or depression; others are working through complex life experiences such as past trauma, relationship issues, personality issues or loss. Often, they’ve spent years coping but feel ready to understand themselves more deeply and shift what’s no longer serving them. They’re seeking a therapy space that offers warmth, depth, and clarity, where insight leads to meaningful and lasting change.

Steven Segal
Psychologist, PhD, PsyBA General
Sydney, NSW 2000
When you come to therapy, you are often carrying more than the emotional pain that brought you here. Alongside the difficulty for which you are seeking help, you may also carry the uncertainty of asking for help in the first place and wonder whether you should be coping better on your own. You may feel anxious about revealing yourself to another person and wonder whether you will truly be understood. Reaching out can be difficult. When you do, I will meet you there. Whatever brings you to therapy, and whatever anxieties accompany that step, they will be welcomed and can become part of our conversation.

My ideal client would be someone who is motivated to change, and keen to understand their own behaviours and motivations in hopes for a more balanced life. I have a passion for understanding human behaviour, our motivations and what influences our choices, decisions, and actions whether conscious or subconscious.

Trauma & Attachment Psychologist, Couples Therapist. Whether single or in a relationship you struggle with uncertainty, fear, a rollercoaster of emotions or a sense of doom. You doubt whether you are ever going to feel settled, confident or secure in relationships. Time and time again, after a honeymoon period, the same pattern shows up, either cold distance or heated fighting. You don't know how to get through so you overthink or get overwhelmed & attack or freeze wondering when it will end. Maybe an sense of relief when it does. Then loneliness sets in and the search starts again.

Von Coves
Psychotherapist, PACFA
Leichhardt, NSW 2040
Dissociation? TRAUMA? CPTSD? Perhaps you’ve tried therapy but it hasn’t helped at a deeper level. Perhaps you've felt judged or misunderstood. Yet therapy doesn’t have to be miserable! Healing is often found in the quality of your relationship with your therapist. If you experience complex trauma and dissociation, it doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. It just means that responses that helped you survive in the past are getting in the way in the present. Together, with patience and understanding, we can update these patterns so you can feel better. Using IFS, EMDR, Psychodynamic approaches. You are welcome to contact me.

Counsellor, ACA-L2

Hi, I’m Julie. Are you feeling stuck, misunderstood, and anxious? Do you find yourself struggling to get to sleep, replaying conversations over and over? Maybe you feel like you can’t truly be yourself, afraid of being rejected or judged. Life might feel like it’s on repeat — doing everything that’s expected, but inside, something feels off. You’re tired of keeping quiet just to fit in, but you’re unsure of what truly makes you happy. Many people feel disconnected from themselves, unsure of what they want or what excites them. You might feel lost, anxious, or flat about your life, even though everything seems "fine" on the surface.

If you've spent years trying harder, organising better, and following advice that works for everyone except you — you're probably not the problem. The systems were. I'm Jacob, founder of T.H.E. Psyborg and a counsellor who has been navigating ADHD since I was a kid. I didn't build this practice from a textbook - I built it from the inside out, because I know what it's like to be capable and inconsistent, to have the insight without the follow-through, to understand exactly what needs doing and still not be able to start.

I work with adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, often living with anxiety, low mood, past trauma, or relationship struggles that don’t seem to shift. You might look like you’re coping, but inside feel exhausted or self-critical. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to hold it together. I integrate talk-based and body-aware (somatic) practices to help you understand your emotions, relate to yourself with compassion, and create meaningful, lasting change. So you can feel more at home in yourself, even in the midst of life’s challenges.
