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.

Su (Xufeng Su)
Psychologist, Provisional Psychologist
I am a provisional psychologist who is committed to delivering genuine person-centered and strength-based therapy and providing a space that is safe, welcoming and free from judgment or stigma. As a therapist, I aim to assist and support clients in exploring their unique values and identities. Through my lived experience, I have a deep understanding of the imbalance and distress we can feel when experiencing oppression or being unable to live our authentic lives. When supporting my clients – instead of assuming the expert position – I partner with them, exploring their potential and understanding who they want to be. During the therapy journey, my goal is to create a secure place where my clients can be heard.

Karen Sri Thomas
Registered Psychotherapist, MCP
As a counselor and psychotherapist, my goal is to help you through your struggles and challenges. Whether it's anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, family violence, emotional abuse, or relationship difficulties, I'm here to support you. Sometimes, traumatic memories or emotional obstacles can prevent you from feeling calm and centered, hindering your ability to live your best life.
It's possible that there's something unsettling lingering in the background or that you feel pressured, rushed, isolated, or disconnected. You may feel like you can't truly be yourself. If you're facing difficulties at work, school, or with a parent or close family member, I'm here to help.
Together, we will work on processing and overcoming your emotional or psychological struggles. Even small positive shifts in therapy can lead to relief and long-lasting change. I welcome adults of all ages, including those from culturally diverse backgrounds.
