Sometimes we experience a sense of stuckness in life and things can seem as though they are on a loop. We are bothered by inner resistance, doubt, restlessness, or anxiety. There may be challenges showing in our relationships, work, dreams and physical wellness. These symptoms could be signalling that something is emerging, something quite useful. It’s entirely possible that this is an invitation to grow, to learn, to change. I will support you to explore what is happening in a safe and meaningful way.

I offer either in-person therapy in one of the most comfortable chairs and beautiful rooms you'll ever find, or through voice or video.
I help people who feel stuck between who they are and who they feel they’re meant to be. Often, this shows up as anxiety, low mood, overthinking, or a sense of dissatisfaction that’s hard to explain. Therapy offers a place to pause, reflect, and understand these patterns—so they no longer quietly run your life.
My work is thoughtful, practical, and grounded in evidence-based approaches. I aim to create a calm, respectful space where insight and self-compassion can grow. Together, we focus on understanding your inner world, building emotional awareness, and developing skills that support long-term change—not just symptom relief.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I offer both Psychotherapy and Art Therapy, using a holistic approach that considers your emotional, intellectual, bodily, relational, and spiritual experiences.

You may feel consumed by thoughts of someone, caught in cycles of longing, uncertainty, and emotional highs and crashes. Limerence can feel confusing, addictive, and destabilising. You might know the relationship is not healthy, yet struggle to let go. I work with individuals and couples experiencing limerence, obsessive love, attachment anxiety, betrayal, or relationship distress who want clarity, emotional steadiness, and healthier connection. I am also the author of Limerence: The Psychopathology of Loving Too Much (Routledge, 2025).

I offer in-person sessions at Thrive Clinic Mullumbimby on Mondays, Thursdays & Saturdays, Cabarita on Wednesdays.
Hi, I’m Freya. I work with couples, adolescents, and individuals, with a focus on relationships as central to wellbeing. Drawing on Gottman Method couples therapy principles, I support couples and individuals to strengthen connection, communicate with clarity, and move through conflict more effectively.
Clinical training underpins my practice, but motherhood, three children, long term relationships, grief, and unplanned detours have given me wisdom. I’ve learned that hardship is universal, what matters is building the kind of support, both internal and relational, that lets us move through it with honesty and grace.

Hi, I’m Charmain, a registered art therapist working with communities in the Northern Rivers. I specialise in trauma recovery using a holistic, human-centred approach.
Art therapy gently explores emotions that may be difficult to express in words. Trauma can shape self-perception, relationships, and daily life. While some coping mechanisms protect us, some may not always support long-term well-being.
My trauma-informed approach prioritises safety, pacing, and meaningful goals towards recovery.
No artistic skills or talent is needed.

I work with people who are thoughtful, reflective, and ready to actively engage in therapy. Many of my clients are functioning well on the outside yet feel anxious, burnt out, stuck, or caught in repeating relational patterns. They’re not looking for quick fixes, but for a deeper understanding of how their nervous system shapes their emotions, body, and relationships. Through somatic psychotherapy, we work at a steady and supportive pace to build regulation, capacity, and trust in yourself. Over time, clients often feel more grounded, less reactive, and more able to meet life and relationships with clarity, choice, and ease.

Hi, I'm Athena. I'm a counsellor and psychotherapist who runs a very warm, grounded and affirming therapy practice.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
