My focus is on creating a comfortable space for my clients, so we can work together and clearly understand the client's issues and needs. I really want meaningful change for my clients, and every person's experience is unique and important.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
My name is Shareen Birges & I am a social worker who specialises in online counselling. I have been practicing for over 15 years & as a result, have a broad range of experience. I have worked with adolescents & their families, adults & couples. I specialise in the care of people with cancer and chronic illness, mental health, dual diagnosis/comorbidity, trauma background (including sexual abuse/assault & childhood abuse and trauma) & people with offending behaviour & people living with BPD. Due to my extensive experience working with adolescents and young people, I have developed an ability to work closely with families & other professionals, whilst keeping the boundary of privacy & confidentiality. I believe I am approachable & create a good balance between challenging clients & allowing their therapy to flow at a pace that feel comfortable to them.

Rhiannon Derrig - Sexuality And Relationships (Sentient)
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, PACFA; Psychosexual Therapist
As a registered psychosexual therapist, I specialise in helping individuals with trauma and PTSD, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, and sexual difficulties, including intimacy and trust. I am also passionate about providing support for navigating gendered, sexual, racial, and neuro diversity, and cultural identities, who may experience discrimination or internalised stigma.
Centering unconditional positive regard, I work closely with the client to deeply explore how their past experiences, current situations, family background, and social elements of their lives have impacted their wellbeing. I then work together with the client to explore how they navigate life within their social and environmental surroundings, as well as how to establish an environment and support system that is conducive to growth and healthy self-esteem.
As a therapist, I deeply value sex positivity, social justice and removing the stigma and social constraints surrounding mental health work. I also aim to move away from binary and the pathologisation of queerness and neurodiversity, and provide dedicated support for people who feel they fall outside of the margins of the dominant societal group.
Peer support towards queerness and neurodiversity is an important therapeutic element that I provide - living actively in the queer community and with neurodiversity myself, I am able to genuinely connect with others who may identify with similar experiences.

Cathy Kunzel
Counsellor/Therapist, Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy
I have been in private practice as a psychotherapist since 2016. It took me a while to find where I fit in the world and develop who I am before I found counselling. My tagline "Not all wounds are visible" speaks directly to who I am as a therapist as I have also been through depression and anxiety. I have lived experience with different forms of mental illness and I am trained in suicide intervention and postvention. If life is pulling you down, your marriage or relationship is not going the way you dreamed, anxiety, depression, grief or mental illness is too much for you, call me, I had to learn to trust and I am confident that I walk alongside you to guide and support as you navigate sometimes overwhelming situations, thoughts and feelings,
