Kendall Buckley
Counsellor, MA
Online Only
Hello, my name is Kendall. I am a queer sex and relationship therapist working exclusively online with the queer community. The majority of patients that I work with are AFAB, and of the sapphic persuasion, identities vary however I do work a lot with trans and NB folk. Individuals come to me for a variety of reasons from navigating their first queer relationship, sexual anxiety, coming to terms with their gender, realising they are some form of queer and unsure as to what to do about it. Couples are often seeking a queer therapist that simply 'gets it' to help navigate their queer relationship.

‘Poiesis’ - Deriving from Ancient Greek poiein ("to make"), signifies the act of creation, production, or "bringing forth" something into existence that did not previously exist. It represents a transformative process, often used in philosophy to describe the emergence of a 'thing', from the void into form (various sources).

Ash Clements
Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA General
Mount Lawley, WA 6050
I believe healing happens not by fixing what is broken, but by rediscovering the parts of ourselves that have been hidden, silenced, or forgotten. Guided by a strong relational foundation, I support clients to reconnect with their inner wisdom, build emotional resilience, and move toward the life they want to lead. My approach is informed by a compassionate, holistic, and trauma-informed lens and I tailor each session to the unique pace and rhythm of your healing. My priority is holding a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported — a space where healing can unfold and you can move closer to becoming who you truly are.

Counsellor, MA, ACA-L3
1 Endorsed
Mount Lawley, WA 6050
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (ACA, L3) and former counsellor educator, my energy is grounded in a way I know how to teach you. I will show you how to be with and heal emotional pain in a way that opens possibilities for your preferred future. People see me to heal the wounded parts inside that stop them from fully being in their own life. Releasing the pain and negative beliefs others have left you with allows more clarity, capacity and purpose to flow. For perhaps the first time in your life, discover what is outside of other people's expectations and the hurtful self-beliefs you carry - and start to know who you really are.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in social work values. Alongside complex trauma, I have particular interests in perinatal mental health and adjustment to parenthood, and in grief and loss across life transitions.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
