I work with adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, health-related challenges, relationship difficulties or uncertainty, or who have questions relating to intimacy and sexual health. Many people I see are wanting to make sense of what has been happening and find a way of moving forward that feels right for them.

I work with individuals & couples experiencing relationship difficulties, trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, grief & loss, life transitions, shame, overwhelm & identity concerns.
Using Gestalt and Family Constellations approaches, I recognise the impact of lived experience, relationships, and social systems. I support you to make sense of what you are carrying within yourself, your relationships, and the wider world - including the effects of racism, cultural complexity, family and domestic violence, and other systemic pressures.

Joni Bryan-Power
Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
Serves Area
Although I enjoy helping people in many areas, I really like working with anxiety, life transitions, relationship counselling, trauma & grief.
I combine the knowledge and expertise of a clinical psychologist with the experience of counselling and therapy and the wisdom of many years of life. I believe in living life as fully and positively as possible. Although I use a number of modalities I particularly like working with EMDR, schema based therapy, experiential work, and EFT for couples.
