Nicholas Findley
Counsellor, ACA-L2
Whether it’s the crushing pressure of high school as a teen or the exhaustion of your 30s, life transitions shouldn't feel this heavy. I help teens and adults navigate the 'what's next' with practical DBT/CBT skills and a breath of fresh air. If a stuffy office feels intimidating, we can take our sessions outdoors, creating a calmer space to tackle school stress, career burnout, and shifting relationships.

Do you ever feel like your pet understands you better than most people do? I work with adult women living with anxiety and depressive symptoms, the racing thoughts, the heaviness, the exhaustion of holding it all together. Women who often feel safer and more at ease with animals than with people. If opening up to another person feels overwhelming, you're not alone, and there's nothing wrong with you. At Pawsitive Directions, animals can be part of the therapeutic space from the very beginning, helping you feel grounded and settled while we work together at a pace that feels safe and right for you while personalising your care plan.

You might be someone who holds a lot inside. On the outside, life continues with work, relationships, responsibilities, while you may feel internally overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or tired in a way that rest doesn’t seem to fix. I am experienced working with people who have past experiences that still live in the body, patterns that repeat in relationships, or a sense of not fully belonging. I’m especially passionate about supporting people from a migrant background. I deeply understand the challenges from cultural expectations, unspoken family dynamics, or emotional experiences that do not fit into the mainstream culture.

Tania Djipalo
Psychotherapist, MA, PACFA

My ideal clients are individuals and couples ready to explore what's keeping them stuck — in old patterns, relationship struggles, or simply a life that no longer feels their own. Many carry early attachment wounds that quietly shape their present. I work relationally, creating a space where clients feel genuinely safe and heard. Together we explore what drives their patterns, rebuild trust in themselves and others, and find a way forward with greater clarity and freedom.

Jacob Shine
Psychologist, MA, PsyBA General
Albert Park, VIC 3206
You might be noticing how much your past still shapes your present. Maybe you’re on a trajectory that keeps giving you trouble, and you want to change where it’s heading. I don’t believe early experience decides who we become. It shapes us, often more than we realise, but once we can see what’s driving us, we have real choice in how we respond to it. My work leans relational and attachment focussed. This is because the patterns that cause trouble in your life often present in therapy. When they do, we can slow down and look at them as they happen. That tends to bring more understanding than just talking about them.

Psychologist, PsyBA General
Preston, VIC 3072
Every person I work with is treated with dignity, respect and compassion. This means looking beyond people's current condition, situation or diagnosis to also consider their broader life-history, including how current symptoms may have been shaped by early life experiences. I believe that everybody, no matter how complex or challenging their situation, circumstances or life experiences, when provided the right support has within themselves vast resources for self-understanding and resilience.
