Psychotherapist, MBBS, ANZAP Graduate

Some difficulties don't respond to short-course therapy, and it isn't because you didn't try hard enough. I was a GP for ten years before I trained as a psychotherapist, and I work with the problems that don't fit neatly: trauma, symptoms that keep returning with a normal result, depression that has outlasted everything reasonable, relationships that keep taking the same painful shape. I see adults and adolescents, in person in Byron Bay and by video anywhere in Australia.

Hunter Valley Walk and Talk Therapy
Counsellor, ACA-L2

When women start drifting towards 40 and beyond, something shifts. Nobody warns you. Just all of a sudden, things hit a little differently. There's often an inner rage that is harder to contain. The body is changing and shifting, right along with your tolerance levels. Relationships are becoming a lot more challenging to navigate. Sometimes a sense of despair, and an inner voice asking, 'is this really all there is', can start to get uncomfortably loud. And something else can happen... old wounds we thought we'd long forgotten, start becoming raw again. "I thought I was over this stuff..." - a not infrequent thought.

My clients arrive feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from carrying too much for too long. They may feel they’ve tried everything, be struggling with anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, body image concerns, or major life transitions. Many clients come to me feeling like they are functioning on the outside but struggling internally — caught in cycles of worry, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from themselves. They may be tired of surviving and ready to understand why they feel this way and create meaningful change.

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.

Counsellor, ACA-L2

My ideal clients are adults who have tried talking about it but still feel stuck. They come to me carrying childhood trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, burnout, or chronic stress — often having spent years in talk therapy without lasting change. Many are highly sensitive people who feel deeply and have never quite understood why life feels so heavy. Some are people pleasers who have spent a lifetime putting others first, struggling with boundaries, and losing themselves in the process. I work with them one on one, using Somatic Experiencing to gently help the body release what the mind has been unable to resolve.

Hello, my name is Kendall. I am a queer sex and relationship therapist working exclusively online with the queer community. The majority of patients that I work with are AFAB, and of the sapphic persuasion, identities vary however I do work a lot with trans and NB folk. Individuals come to me for a variety of reasons from navigating their first queer relationship, sexual anxiety, coming to terms with their gender, realising they are some form of queer and unsure as to what to do about it. Couples are often seeking a queer therapist that simply 'gets it' to help navigate their queer relationship.
