Karen Holmes
Counsellor, ACA-L4
Verified
I work mainly with women who for whatever reason, are finding life a bit of a struggle. I do also work with men to help them understand the women in their lives. I am also trained in couple counselling. Some of the most common reasons come to see me include relationship issues, mothering, work/life balance problems, body image worries, anxiety, depression, grief/loss to name but a few. Commonly we get bogged down in how we “should” be doing things, rather than what suits us and our lives. Women tend to put themselves at the back of the queue, and in times of stress, our self care tends to suffer, leading to overwhelm. Let me help!

Donna Cahill
Counsellor, ACA-L2
Verified
Are you struggling to feel connected to your loved ones, or yourself? Or both? Connection is everything, so when we feel disconnected from those in our world, and ourselves, we often find many areas of our lives to be challenging. This quickly creates feelings of sadness, loneliness, anger, and can help foster depression and anxiety. Engaging in therapy to help you unpack what is at the core of your challenges is one of the best investments you can make for yourself. Do you need to be and feel heard?

Synergy Mind Solutions
Psychologist, MPsych
Verified
FACT IS: "It's not a matter of IF life will throw obstacles and hurdles at you... it's WHEN." For 20 years I have been counselling people from all walks of life (CEOs, surgeons and psychologists through to miners, call centre staff, managers and cleaners). And what I've noticed is how many people struggle with their relationships - that could be the relationship with their partner, their child, their parents, their co-workers, their mates or the biggest and most important relationship of them all... THEMSELVES! Now, they don't always know it's their relationship at first, because it might look like stress, conflict, anxiety, etc.
Enki Psychotherapy
Psychotherapist, PACFA
Verified
I am committed to working with adult women who have had some big experiences and now have some big questions. Trauma, grief, addiction or life transitions such as divorce can leave people questioning "who am I" and "what now?" At times like these, having someone witness those experiences can be life changing. We all want meaning and purpose to our lives and how that looks is such an individual experience. Women want to be supported to find their answers with compassion and no judgement, and to move towards a life of their choosing.

To be listened to is one of the most fundamental needs of a human being. If you’re feeling anxious, worried, confused, stressed, lost, lonely, don't feel good enough or have relationship issues... I am here to help. I love journeying alongside people as they find relief from struggles, achieving goals, relieving anxiety and to have more fulfilling relationships. I especially am drawn to those suffering loss in their lives. Whether it be a loved one, a job, a house or your dreams we can work together to find ways to cope, ease the pain and rediscover purpose and meaning in your life at a time when we feel there is none.

Life Wisdom Counselling
Counsellor
Verified
Has your life changed all of a sudden due to a bereavement or the end of a relationship? Are you feeling confused, alone and overwhelmed by the emotions you are experiencing? Grief and loss can leave us struggling to find relief from the sadness ,anger ,guilt and the many other emotions we may be feeling as well as leaving us paralysed at the thought of how we will find a way to move forward to a place where we can resume living our lives in the absence of our loved one. All of us will feel the effects of grief at some time in our lives but the way we experience it is unique and deeply personal.
