Dipak Jilka - Psychotherapist & Counsellor
Therapist, Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) – PACFA Reg. Clinical 26570
Holding a grounded stance of compassion, empathy, non-judgment and light-hearted curiosity, I provide a safe and reflective space for clients to explore and gently unpack their lives. While clients may initially seek support for concerns such as anger, anxiety, compulsive sexual behaviours, relationship difficulties, or other presenting issues, my experience has shown that the underlying dynamics are often more complex than they first appear.
My therapeutic ethos is centred on not viewing clients as problems to be fixed, but as individuals whose struggles deserve to be witnessed with respect, depth and thoughtful exploration. I work collaboratively, supporting clients to develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and clarity about how they wish to live.
I am of South Asian heritage, raised in London, and have lived in Sydney for over 30 years. Having straddled Eastern and Western cultures, including the particular nuances of my Indian background, I bring a culturally informed and integrative perspective to my practice. My earlier corporate career and lived experience of family life in Australia, alongside my own encounters with anxiety, stress and periods of low mood, have deepened my understanding of the pressures many clients face.
My personal journey toward greater meaning, purpose and self-understanding informs my belief in psychotherapy as a transformative process. I am committed to supporting clients in cultivating insight, living more consciously, and moving toward lives that feel authentic and self-directed.
If this approach resonates with you, I welcome the opportunity to connect.

Jill Deacon
Counsellor/Therapist, BSc and FdSc Person Centred Counselling. MBACP
People come to therapy for a number of reasons; you may be experiencing trauma or bereavement, the effects of historical issues, or knock on effects of the pandemic. A lot of people come to therapy because life just feels unmanageable and are struggling with day to day living. You may not know why life currently feels so difficult.
Talking with a trained and experienced counsellor can help you accept and move through your issues, give you the tools and understanding to cope better with life's challenges and discover a freedom to live with and beyond the things that are holding you back.
Speaking with someone for the first time about personal issues or trauma can feel really daunting. It is important to feel safe and not judged when talking about difficult things, and my aim is for us to develop a relationship where you can explore whatever it is that you need to.

Fiona Grace
Counsellor/Therapist, AdvDipCounselling &Pyschotherapy MBACP
Finding the right counsellor for you is one of the most important parts that will make therapy more effective and successful for you. Its not just about our qualifications but how we connect and work together.
I am a Neurodivergent counsellor and have found this out very late in life, I understand how it feels to just not fit in or be able to conform to the 'norms' of society, to struggle to work out why we are different. How to find ways to learn who you are and love all those 'quirks' that make us different. I understand how this feels and will work with you to help you find your way to manage what you are experiencing.
I have learnt experience with CNBC - childless not by choice and Chronic Pain & Fatigue conditions. With both of these I find it can really be beneficial that I have an understanding of how it feels and not just how it is to study these experiences.
As well as working with Adults I also work as a counsellor with young people in schools, colleges and my private practice.
