Colin Longworth - HPCCH Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Psychology & Counselling Services
Psychologist, MAPS, B Psych ECowan, GradDipCounselMurdoch,
I am a mature-aged Cisgender Gay Male Psychologist, Counsellor and Clinical Hypnotherapist, who came to psychology as a mature-aged student (studying mainly part time) after working in a variety of blue and white-collar jobs.
I find it interesting to investigate (therapeutically) how an individual (or couple) came to be where they are at this time of life. I refer to it as my "benevolent curiosity" which I use to seek to assist clients who come to see me (in person or online).
My belief is that for some clients they like the idea of working with a Gay man who is also a psychologist, and therefore (potentially) has first-hand knowledge and experience with some of the issues that an LGBTI person may experience. (i.e. the client is unlikely to need to "educate" me on aspects of LGBTI life.)
I also like the thought of being able to assist other LGBTI people feel more comfortable with where they are in life, by making use of my over half a century's life experience, decades of volunteer experience, all combined with my tertiary training.

Through curiosity and an open mind, I work with you to explore the complexities of life.

Katie Feder
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Psychotherapist, BSc Hons Psychology
Reconnect with yourself and restore inner steadiness. Many women reach a point where the way they’ve been living is no longer sustainable—for their energy, wellbeing, or the life they are ready to step into.
I’m a psychotherapist supporting women who are navigating emotional trauma, burnout, and the impact of difficult relational experiences. Often this includes patterns of overgiving, self-abandonment, and feeling disconnected from themselves.
My focus is on helping you make sense of what you’ve been through and understand the patterns that have shaped how you relate to yourself. This is not about becoming someone new, but about reconnecting with who you are beneath what you’ve had to adapt to.

Online in Canberra, ACT Australian Capital Territory
Canberra is Australia's purpose-built capital city and home to the federal public service, creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including burnout, moral injury, and careers lived in close proximity to political power. The city has the highest median income and education level of any Australian capital, with a population generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Canberra Hospital provides institutional mental health services alongside a well-established private practice community serving the inner south, Belconnen, and Tuggeranong. A recurring theme across many Canberra practices is the tension between personal values and the constraints of institutional work — a dynamic that cuts across much of the city's therapy culture.
