Xuli Zheng
Psychologist, MA, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
Edwardstown, SA 5039
I work with individuals aged 16 and above who are experiencing anxiety, low mood, OCD, or the effects of trauma. Many of my clients feel stuck in patterns that are difficult to shift—such as overthinking, intrusive thoughts, avoidance, or feeling constantly on edge. You might be someone who appears to be coping on the outside but feels overwhelmed internally, or someone who has tried to manage things on your own but is finding it increasingly exhausting. I take a collaborative approach to therapy. Together, we will make sense of what is maintaining your current difficulties and identify clear, manage steps forward.

Joslin, SA 5070
If anxiety, overwhelm or familiar patterns are keeping you stuck, you don’t have to work through it alone. I support adults and young people to understand what is happening in their thoughts, emotions, body and behaviour, without judgement. Using counselling, nervous-system education, somatic mindfulness and hypnosis where appropriate, we move beyond simply understanding the pattern and towards greater regulation, clarity and choice. You don’t need to become someone different. Sometimes the work is about returning to yourself. Counselling in Joslin, Adelaide and online.

I offer online therapy across Australia. My approach is person-centred, trauma informed and deeply relational. I believe that the psychological sufferings we experience stem from relationships, and only in relationships can be explored, processed, and organised differently. Sometimes we try hard to be different to fit with others and in this world, and as a result we might suffer even more and feel isolated. The relationship with my clients can be a safe place where they can try more authentic and spontaneous ways of being, until they feel safe enough to bring their real self in their relationships and in the world.

Rebekah Louise Popescu
Psychotherapist, PACFA
Blackwood, SA 5051
I work with children from 7+, teens, older adults, and anyone who feels overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally stuck, or alone in what they are carrying. Many come with trauma, grief, neurodivergence, or relational pain, and need a space that feels safe, gentle, and deeply attuned. Words are not always enough, which is why creative arts and the calming presence of horses, donkeys, dogs, and chickens can help create safety, connection, and a sense of ease. Often, clients want to feel more understood, more regulated, and more like themselves again.

You may appear to be functioning well on the outside. But inside, something still feels unresolved. You've done the reading, perhaps even the therapy, and yet the patterns persist. The weight hasn't lifted. Something deeper is asking to be met. I'm a Clinical Psychologist offering online therapy across Australia, working at the intersection of trauma healing and depth psychology. I draw on EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems and somatic approaches to work with the parts of you that talking alone hasn't reached.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether your therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

What are the advantages of seeing a female therapist?
Many people - not just women - prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. Women who see a female therapist may also feel freer to discuss challenges that are closely tied to gender, such as life transitions including motherhood or menopause. Some clients who instinctively feel more comfortable disclosing to women may find it easier to broach sensitive subjects with a female therapist. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Is therapy different for men and women?
Therapy can be different for men and women insofar as gender plays a role in the challenges an individual faces and the events in life an individual has experienced. Women often face different expectations from their families, friends, and society than men do. In some cases, women might feel most comfortable expressing themselves differently from how men do. Talking about one's feelings and emotions is a critical part of most therapies, and some women might find it comes more naturally when talking to a female therapist. Ultimately, though, therapeutic treatment should be tailored to the individual's specific needs.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I enquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK - even encouraged! - to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
