Simone van der Kallen
Counsellor, PACFA
Neutral Bay, NSW 2089
I work with high-functioning men, often in leadership roles or demanding professional environments, who are used to carrying responsibility and coping on their own. They come when the pressure builds, showing up as anxiety, irritability, relationship strain, or a sense that something feels off. I help them make sense of what’s been hard to see or put into words, understand their patterns, and find a steadier, more effective way forward.

You may be high-functioning on the outside yet overwhelmed on the inside — caught in perfectionism, overthinking or self-doubt. You might struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, boundaries or feeling “not enough,” even though you appear capable to others. Perhaps you're exploring identity (personal, relational, cultural, professional or gender-related), navigating relationship or attachment patterns, or noticing the effects of childhood emotional neglect or emotionally immature parents. You want clarity, confidence and lasting change. Syné Collective is a warm and intentional space where you can explore this, free of judgement.

Specialist Grief Counselling
Social Worker, PhD, AASW
Online Only
Grief can be a misunderstood experience. It may be you have experienced the death of someone close to you. Or you or someone you care for are sitting in the confusion of a new health diagnosis. In some way, life as you knew it has changed and adjusting to that change may feel hard and lonely. Many grieving clients I meet arrive feeling isolated in their families and communities, or that their experience of grief is not normal feeling ‘I’m going crazy’. Grief is a natural and necessary human response to loss and my focus is to enable you to feel anchored in your grief and in the world again.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.

How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.

How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.

What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
