As a psychologist, I have the privilege of working with you to identify and heal the core issues driving the behaviour causing you pain. It gives me great joy to meet people who are eager to know themselves better and awaken their spiritual essence. When Life is going wrong, I believe life isn’t just happening to you; it’s happening for you to heal parts of self that are caught in a negative emotional cycle.

Maggie Clark
Counsellor, ACA-L1
Pottsville, NSW 2489
Hi, I’m Maggie. We all get stuck sometimes. I hope you can find a way to have a happy life. My 15 years teaching meditation and working with groups has given me a lot of experience aiding people as they grow, develop and find more joy. In recent times I has moved into the counselling arena. I believe that given the right circumstance we all have the potential to grow into the best versions of ourselves. No matter what you are going through, there is always a path back to peace and happiness. The first step is to make the choice to do something to help yourself. If you are here, that's a great start.

Julie Hamilton
Psychotherapist, PACFA
Pottsville, NSW 2489
I offer therapy sessions in-person, in a peaceful, private space and online via Zoom.
We all hit bumps in the road of life. It could be you’ve had something big happen, like the end of a relationship, the loss of someone you loved, or being let go from a job. It might be you don’t feel happy, even tho’ your life appears pretty good from the outside. Maybe you feel disconnected or overwhelmed emotionally, or you feel tired and stuck and lack the motivation to go after the life you want. You may realise that you keep sabotaging yourself or choosing unsuitable or unavailable partners but you can’t work out why. Maybe you want to get to know yourself better and feel comfortable about who your are. Therapy can help.

Steve JAMES LOCK Wood
Social Worker, AASW
Pottsville, NSW 2489
Some things leave a mark even when you can't quite name what happened or why it still affects you. I work best with people who are carrying a lot but feel alone in it. Whether you're navigating trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, relationship pain, or a life that no longer feels like your own, you don't have to keep holding it alone. Trauma doesn't always look dramatic sometimes it's feeling stuck, exhausted, disconnected, or like something is quietly wrong. Whatever it looks like for you, it makes sense. And it can change.

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.
