Tracey Alder Therapy

Melbourne, VIC 3004
This is not the life you wanted. You are not the person you hoped to become. Your choices and decisions prevent any relief from the constant, nagging anxiety that disrupts your sleep and impacts your health. It may be that the damage of a difficult upbringing is still causing sustained harm to your present relationships, and your all-important sense of self. But whatever the root cause of your suffering, it's always so much harder to overcome alone. I'm here to support you in that struggle as we work to understand and address your unhappiness in a safe, constructive, trauma-informed space.

Elliot Gerschman

Many approaches to therapy focus on managing symptoms. Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a different path. It understands the mind as made up of parts, each carrying its own history, fears and ways of trying to protect you, even when those strategies no longer serve you. Beneath these parts is the Self: a calm, curious and compassionate inner presence capable of leading your internal system. I work with adults who sense that surface-level strategies have not reached what is truly driving their difficulties.

Ashley Thomson
Counsellor, MA, ACA-L1
1 Endorsed
Melbourne, VIC 3000
Our struggles often have a terrible feeling of familiarity. The great lie of these familiar struggles is that they are unalterable. This is the value of counselling: the patterns we know are made new and changeable in the therapeutic encounter. I seek to bring a nonjudgmental, empathetic attunement to your experience to make the path of insight and change safe for you to tread. If it is relevant to your reasons for seeking support: I oppose colonial settlerism, imperialism and the US and Australia-backed genocide of Palestinians in occupied Palestine, and support land back for First Nations peoples and gender-affirming care.

Spectrum Parent Counselling
Counsellor, ACA-L1
Online Only
My ideal clients are the "supporters"—parents, carers, and individuals who hold everything together for others. I specifically support late-diagnosed neurodivergent adults and parents navigating the mental load of raising both neurodivergent and neurotypical children. I also offer individual counselling to anyone seeking a safe, mask-free space to be heard. Clients often come to me facing "invisible burnout," advocacy fatigue, or sensory overwhelm. They are tired of being the "strong one" and are looking for a therapist who truly understands the constant pivoting of a neurodivergent life—without them having to explain the basics.

Melbourne, VIC 3004
I feel passionate about helping people make meaningful, sustainable, and healthy changes in their lives. I aim to work respectfully and collaboratively with people so that clients build their own independence and develop ways to manage life stressors more effectively, in addition to their own thoughts, feelings and behaviours. A comfortable, empathetic and supportive therapeutic relationship is also very important in my approach, and research shows that this is essential in best outcomes for clients. I generally work on a wide range of mental health and life issues and the approaches I work with are all evidence-based interventions.
