PLEASE NOTE : I AM NOT A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE MEDICARE BENEFITS SCHEME, otherwise known as the Mental Health Care Plan.
I am a member of the LGBTIQA+ community and welcome working with people from the community for any issue, but particularly with suicidality and gender dysphoria. I also very much welcome working with non-LGBTIQA+ men and women for any of the difficulties listed on my Specialities page and other issues beyond that list.
I work with people’s understanding of their mental states and knowledge of their body, utilising somatic principles in conjunction with the specialist modalities listed above.
The areas I specialise in are as follows: attachment disorders, complex trauma histories, those diagnosed with personality disorders, specialising in Borderline Personality Disorder. More recently I have been working with a lot of clients who have ADHD and ASD. I offer ASD assessments and hope to offer ADHD assessment screeners soon. I have had some success with those diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and BiPolar Affective Disorder.
I am open to working with adults from the age of 16 through to the end of life.

Movement with Steph
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns&PsychTh
You know how some men and women who are people-pleasers struggle with being too busy and always putting others first so they push down their own feelings, needs, and wants, which means they never feel truly seen, heard, known, and loved? Well, what I do is provide a safe space to deepen exploration of themselves by offering humanistic-experiential therapy sessions. This allows my clients to understand themselves better, honour their emotions, needs, and wants, and improve their relationships with others. I work well with clients who are trying to navigate new and different phases of their lives, from adolescence and above, including individual and couple work.

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.
