I am a therapist specialising in assisting clients who have physical and psychological symptoms relating to traumas that they have experienced in their lives.
When we have trauma "apps" it is like on some level the trauma is still happening for us somehow in the background of our lives - even though it may have happened years ago. This chews up our energy for our lives and our ability to be present with ourselves in our lives, and with our loved ones. I help people process the trauma and close their trauma apps.

Brain Care Tweed Heads - Psychology & Neurotherapy
Psychologist, PsyBA General
Tweed Heads, NSW 2485
From Nerida Saunders, Director: As a senior psychologist and approved mentor for neurofeedback practitioners, I have worked with children, teenagers, adults and families in areas such as ADHD, Autism, Behaviour Issues, Anxiety, Depression, Learning Difficulties, Memory Loss, PTSD, and other conditions.
Psychotherapy offers great tools for developing coping strategies, but it is not always enough when problems are persistent. In contrast, qEEG Brain Mapping and Neuromodulation are science-based processes that uncover an individual’s brain function. I find that patients and their families benefit from an approach that combines psychotherapy and neurotherapy.

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.

I’m a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming psychotherapist who works from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens.
My approach is gentle, experiential, and deeply affirming. I bring over two decades of lived experience as a mother of six and a late-diagnosed neurodivergent woman. I offer creative, experiential therapies that make space for what can’t easily be spoken, but still longs to be seen.

I have expertise in a wide range of mental health conditions, though I'm particularly interested in trauma, anxiety and OCD.
Life rarely follows a straight line. It can be overwhelming, messy and empty. Sometimes we just feel stuck, not knowing what to do. The ways we try to cope - like cutting off from things or people we value - often make us feel more sad or worried. I work with young people, adults and families to develop new perspectives, learn strategies to cope and build meaningful lives.
