| Milan Peters Psychotherapist, Counsellor |
| The answers we seek are not always found in thought alone. The body can also hold clues to things that have long ago passed from mind and memory. As a Therapist who values the connection between body and mind, I encourage people to explore this connection in themselves. Change within people does not have to be forced, but will come about spontaneously as the different, and often conflicting, aspects of ourselves have a chance to be expressed, deeply understood, and then allowed to integrate. |

| Sharon Reid Psychotherapist, Counsellor |
| As a counsellor for women and children I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in healing. I believe in a relationship where respect and empathic listening are paramount and where the client is the only expert on her/his own life. My counselling style is eclectic, but mainly strengths-based. For children to heal, I believe having ‘fun’ is essential and that the child should be helped to recognise that he/she has the coping skills needed to heal himself/herself. |

| Stuart Stawman Psychotherapist |
| I think of a well-trained, experienced psychotherapist as being like a mountain guide, or sherpa, someone who knows something about the mountains - their difficult terrain and challenging weathers - and, because of this, knows how to help individual climbers to safely achieve their particular journey. |

| Val Sutton Psychologist |
| I focus on identifying and building strengths as a way to overcome barriers to achieving fulfillment in life and work. I am trained in a variety of techniques, and find that it is the therapeutic relationship and the belief in the process that achieves desired outcomes. I work in a collaborative way with whatever you bring into therapy and focus on solutions. |

| Stephanie Thompson Counselling Psychologist, Organisational Psychologist |
| I use a positive, solution-focused approach which I call ‘Therapeutic Coaching’. This model is particularly enjoyable, empowering & effective because it progresses you toward solutions here & now. It deeply respects your intelligence, personal perspectives & experience. By contrast, many common 'therapies' involve lots of listening but few solutions, or lengthy psychoanalysis. My experience is that this too often isn’t helpful. I also use nutritional interventions. Medicare rebates available. |

| Christine Weston Psychotherapist, Counsellor |
| Sometimes life is very challenging and difficult and we can feel overwhelmed by problems. These can be current problems or situations from the past that effect our coping mechanisms. It can be helpful and in some cases life changing to be supported through these times by someone who is able to understand, accept and offer guidance, for things to be different and for life to feel better. |
