I provide person-centered, evidence-based psychological treatments and counselling to clients from all walks of life. Clients often request short to medium term interventions to lessen the effects of their psychological trauma or recent and/or old events on their lives. Clients attend sessions with clinical diagnoses or their current experiences of moderate to severe level of symptoms leading to their interest in receiving assessments for formal diagnoses. Specific needs and goals of therapy are usually discussed in the first session during intake assessment. I can also provide sessions in Korean.

Life can be hard sometimes. Most people who contact me aren't broken or looking to be "fixed". They're often doing their best to cope with situations that would challenge anyone.
I work with teenagers and young adults, people living with chronic illness, those navigating miscarriage and infant loss, carers experiencing burnout, and anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges. Many of my clients are tired of carrying so much on their own and are looking for a space where they can be themselves without judgment.

I work with adults who may appear to be coping externally but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected internally. Many are navigating ADHD or neurodivergence, identity, queerness, cultural experiences, relationship patterns, burnout, or life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and neuro-affirming, integrating CBT, ACT, IFS parts work, attachment-based therapy, and practical ADHD coaching. Using collaborative intersectional frameworks while maintaining authenticity, empathy and curiosity, we make sense of patterns, reduce shame, and build realistic, sustainable ways of moving forward.

Hi, my name is Divya, and I am a registered psychologist with a passion to support and empower individuals in their mental health journey. Our past traumas and experiences shape how we view and interact with the world, often influencing our responses and emotions. Without proper support, we may develop unhelpful coping mechanisms, leading to unresolved pain and making life overwhelming. This can manifest as anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, low self-esteem, etc. With these inner-conflicts, seeking to start understanding yourself better and learning to adopt healthier coping skills is a brave step to transform and heal.

Hello! My name is Salome, and I am a registered psychologist, who has a strong desire to help people achieve their mental health goals. Often, our past traumas can have a significant impact on the way we experience the world around us. Without proper support, we may have developed unhealthy coping mechanisms in our search for comfort and peace. These unresolved issues can lead to a range of psycho-social problems, including anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, and negative self-perception. However, facing these complex and overwhelming emotions can be a daunting task to undertake on our own.

Therapy in English, Hindi and Gujarati; online across Australia, with early-morning and evening appointments. No referral, no diagnosis, nothing on your medical record. On paper, you may have arrived, and still feel emotionally stretched and known only in fragments. Perhaps you're navigating a major life transition, or relying on coping patterns including substance use, work, or simply holding it together that once protected you but now feel too heavy.

You’ve done the work, reflected deeply, and tried to understand yourself, yet certain patterns still pull you back. Even when you know better, old reactions return and you feel frustrated that insight alone hasn’t been enough. You want to feel grounded, stable and aligned with the person you know you can be. As a trauma‑informed psychologist, I use EMDR and strengths‑based approaches to help reduce triggers, shift unhelpful patterns and support meaningful, lasting change.

How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
