I have helped many individuals come out to family and friends, and I work with partners and parents of trans and gender diverse individuals. In addition, I also work with those who have suffered a significant loss in their lives, who may be grieving the loss of a partner, child, parent or close relative due to illness, accident or suicide.

Do you feel overwhelmed, exhausted or struggling with motivation? Do you have sensitivities that leave you feeling judged by others, or misunderstood? Do you experience stuck patterns of behaviour that effect your ability to feel satisfaction in life and in relationships? Do you feel pressure to conform to societal norms and expectations, which leaves you feeling "othered" and isolated? I see you! You are not alone and you don't have to work this out by yourself. Together we can explore your lived experience and the many ways it impacts your sense of self, worthiness and belonging.

Our emotions tell a story, they direct our actions. But unless we are aware of how they influence what we do, they can often get in the way. Lou invites you to listen not only to the story that comes from your head, but also to what your body has to say. Developing greater awareness of your emotional experience and the skills to manage it can be the springboard to creating healthier relationships with self and others, and lead to a more productive life.
Jes Anderberg
Psychotherapist
I am an integrative therapist who loves working with people who are willing to be curious about themselves and others. I specialise in a process of somatic self-insight called Focusing, in which attention is placed not only on thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, but also on the body’s immediate, moment-to-moment reactions and felt sense of an issue. This process is well suited to people who are feeling stuck, suffer from anxiety and/or depression, or are having a transitional time in life and need to find an authentic way forward. Our sessions together are 75 minutes in length, and are designed to help you achieve meaningful change.

We are all constantly evolving and can be faced with difficult challenges, often impacted by family, social and cultural conditioning, religious and gender-based beliefs, roles, and biases. You might want to challenge this conditioning and these constraints. Understanding this within ourself, our relationships, and our families can be complex. You might realise that your sexual, relationship, and gender identities and preferences may be different from societal expectations, so you may struggle internally to accept who you are and are then unable to live authentically. You might need support from someone to navigate these changes.

My wealth of lived experiences including gender transition inform my collaborative client centred counselling approach. Whilst presenting issues may include depression, anxiety, identity incongruence, dysphoria, trauma, interpersonal challenges, addiction, loneliness, and more, I seek to work with the underlying causes as I believe that through addressing the root causes of the presenting symptoms that psychological wellbeing can be achieved without judgement or further pathologisation.

There are roads we must take on our own, and stories we must write for ourselves. I've dedicated my life to helping people of all ages and backgrounds navigate their way through life's challenges, and I do so with compassion, care, and empathy. I was born in Borneo, identify as gay, and have experience living in different countries and cultures. My lived experience helps me to connect with clients on a deeper level and provide culturally-appropriate and trauma-informed therapy that considers an individual's unique needs, circumstances, and experiences. I can speak fluently in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Indonesian, Malay & Hakka.
