Hi, I'm Jerico. I work with adults (predominately women and LGBTQIA+ community members) and young people above 8-years-old who value a warm, relational, embodied, and creative approach to therapy. As an arts-based therapist, my practice integrates art materials and somatic inquiry, alongside conversation, to support clients through complex emotional experiences, identity exploration, and meaning-making. My therapeutic approach emphasises presence, deep listening, and engaging with creative materials as pathways to personal insight and meaning.

Hello, I’m Emma, founder of The Flawed Journey a private practice I created in 2019 to offer a space that feels real, safe, and deeply supportive. I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them - overthinking, people-pleasing, anxiety that spirals, low self-esteem, or the lingering impact of childhood experiences. You might feel disconnected from yourself, struggling in your relationships, or wondering why you keep repeating the same patterns even when you know they’re not helping. Maybe you’re simply tired of carrying everything alone.

I work with adults who are navigating periods of change, emotional strain, or patterns that no longer feel sustainable. Many are managing full and complex lives, yet privately feel stuck in habits or ways of coping that no longer serve them, including alcohol use, people-pleasing, overthinking, or a persistent sense of pressure or self-doubt. I have particular experience supporting clients with grief, relationship challenges, questions around career and direction, and deeper concerns around self-worth and identity. I work collaboratively to understand underlying patterns and develop more sustainable ways of coping and living.

I am a qualified integrative psychotherapist, medicine woman, and guide devoted to walking beside others in their journeys. A space where psychotherapy, energetic healing, and soul remembrance meet—guiding you beyond healing loops and into embodied self-expression. You Are Your Own Medicine There comes a moment when you realise… you’re no longer seeking healing to fix yourself— you’re ready to remember who you are. The world teaches you to look outside yourself for answers. But your power has never lived out there. It lives within your body. Your awareness. Your truth. Awaken your light. Walk your truth. Return to your radiance.

Hello I am Chana, I work with couples and individuals who feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns - the same arguments, the same disconnections, the same sense of not quite being heard or understood. Often, the problem isn’t a lack of love, but getting caught in cycles that leave everyone feeling frustrated, defensive, or alone. As a Couple, Family, and Relationship Therapist, I support people navigating ongoing conflict, breakdowns in communication, emotional distance, and the aftermath of ruptures in trust.

You might be feeling stuck, anxious, or a bit lost - doing your best to keep going but ready for something to shift. My clients often crave being calm, connected, and having space to just be themselves. Together we slow things down, explore what’s underneath, and use creativity and nature to find steadiness and clarity again. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical - it can feel human, grounding and real.

Using the principles of Gestalt Therapy, I offer a relational and embodied approach to my clients. I started my therapeutic journey as a client so I appreciate the courage it takes to make the first step. I understand how it feels to struggle and feel stuck. I believe that therapy is about exploring, discovering, experimenting and being vulnerable. I am originally from Brazil and I am particularly inspired by other cultures and beliefs. The process of healing is a journey that looks different for everyone.

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.

I am passionate about partnering with people to help them tolerate extreme emotion, to learn and grow and be free to choose new behaviours. I have decades of lived and years of clinical experience with Alcohol and Other Drugs use and abuse and the traumas that so often lead to it and arise from it. I have understanding of complex PTSD and the Autonomic Nervous System and the ways our experiences get laid down in our systems and repeat themselves, often causing relationship upsets.

There are a few areas of focus that I love supporting clients with; 1). The intersection of the following specific areas, or simply one of these more nuanced areas; people coping with trauma, understanding and managing their neurodivergence, the LGBTQIA+ community, addressing sexual health and intimacy issues, and trans-friendly and knowledgeable healthcare. 2). Everyday client concerns like managing anxiety, low mood, or relationship challenges. 3). Healthcare professionals grappling with burnout symptoms or demanding standards associated with their careers. 4). Adult ADHD/ Autism assessments.

Life's for sure a roller coaster. Along with the ups, there will naturally be downs - illness, pain, worry, conflict, transitions and loss. Sometimes we hang on for the ride and know who will be in the seat beside us; at other times, we can feel pummelled, adrift or alone in our experience. Being heard, seen and validated can begin a process of deep understanding and change. I am a degree-qualified Therapist and eating disorder clinician who feels passionate about providing ethical, evidence-based support to all clients, no matter their concern. You might like to see me in my CBD or Petersham rooms.

NOT accepting new clients! - Comprehensive adult autism/ADHD assessment, report, and ongoing coaching. Call/email to enquire! - - - My therapy clients are often in their 20s and 30s, navigating a period of reflection or change. They’ve started noticing patterns in their relationships, emotions, or behaviours that keep repeating and causing distress or unwanted outcomes. They want to understand why these patterns happen and how to change them. Some are facing major life transitions—such as a breakup, becoming a parent, or exploring their identity—while others simply feel ready to build deeper self-awareness and create lasting change.
