Riccardo Ingle

Relationship Therapist, Counsellor

Potts Point NSW

In Person + Telehealth

I seek to create a space for us to imagine a better you. I use the word 'imagine' because for me it evokes a sense of hope, creativity, and playfulness. The first steps to change come from imagining them. I believe anyone can create a better self for themselves and would love to work alongside you on that journey.

Michelle Lam

Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor

Elizabeth Bay NSW

In Person + Telehealth

My goal is to guide and support you through the challenges that you currently face so you can be more at ease with emotions that previously distressed or scared you, let go of self-limiting beliefs or behaviours, have more choice and make decisions with clarity and ultimately access increased energy so that you can have the relationships you want.

Natasha Lawrence

My interest and passion for counselling started with my own therapy so I understand first hand how hard it is to open up to someone and share your worries and fears.

Carol Marando

Psychotherapist, Counsellor

Sydney CBD NSW, Erina NSW

In Person + Telehealth

I was self-employed in an arts-based career before deciding to change direction at the age of 50. My own psychotherapy had already profoundly changed my life and I couldn't think of a more important or meaningful occupation to pursue. Personal growth is both anxiety arousing and exciting; it is also necessary for our mental health.

Stephen Moore

I provide counselling in Sydney that is personal and empathetic, confidential and professional.

Julia Nowland

Relationship Therapist, Family Therapist

Balmain NSW

In Person + Telehealth

When couples, families or individuals first come to see me, they're usually struggling with feelings of frustration, anger and resentment. They're stuck in a rut with their loved one and can't seem to break or change old patterns of behaviour. Sometimes it's a last ditch effort to save the relationship from falling apart altogether.

Michele Stewart

Psychotherapist, Counsellor

Glebe NSW

In Person + Telehealth

Jacqueline Stone

Are you experiencing stress or anxiety? Maybe you don't feel at your best, not as in control as you'd like. Perhaps you've had tears, angry outbursts or panic or you feel numb.

Alison Strasser

Psychotherapist, Existential Psychotherapist

As a young girl I was attracted to Existential philosophy because it spoke to my own questions about meaning, purpose, relationships, life, death and everything between.

Eros Candusso

Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor

Life ever-evolving processes face us with challenges as well as opportunities. We choose to operate on either aspect according to past experiences that are still influencing us emotionally.
