Experiential Therapy
Gregory Poll
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
I am a qualified Gestalt and Somatic psychotherapist, as well as a clinical supervisor.
I am specialising in working with people who have experienced early childhood developmental trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational challenges. Using a blend of modalities, I tap into personal awareness, freedom, and self-direction.
My attention is focused on an intuitive, creative, and spontaneous process that centres on what is happening in the present moment between me and the client. Working somatically, I focus on the connection between the MIND and BODY to address mental and emotional health issues, especially trauma. "Inner Child" work is one of my key passions, and it plays a significant role in shaping my therapeutic approach. My focus on trauma is addressing the root causes rather than just the symptoms.
My Philosophy... "It is not essential what happened to us in the PAST; what matters most is how we make sense of it NOW."

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
If you're experiencing success at work but are struggling internally or at home - contact me now. Whether it be challenges with anxiety, burnout, relationship distress, or a lack of meaning, I can help. Together we will work to understand unhealthy patterns, shift unwanted behaviour and equip you with the tools and direction you need to live a peaceful, purposeful life.
My approach is one of warmth, non-judgment, curiosity, and depth. The work I do is not basic talk therapy, we won't just discuss your problems, we'll unpack them, transform them, and integrate them into a new way of being.
I deeply believe that everyone has what it takes to find connection and fulfilment beyond stuckness and distress. If you know that it's time for deep change and you're ready to make it happen, click the website link and book in a free discovery call now.

Tony O'Loughlin
Registered Psychotherapist, GradDip Psychotherapy, BA (Social Science), Trauma Informed Somatic Facilitator, PACFA member
Something in you already knows it's time.
Maybe you've been living with anxiety that feels woven into who you are. Maybe trauma has shaped how you move through the world — your relationships, your body, your sense of self — and you're ready to start unravelling that. Or perhaps you're exhausted from trying to hold everything together alone.
I'm Tony, a PACFA-registered psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and teens in person in Castlemaine, Victoria, and online across Australia and internationally. I specialise in trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.
My work is body-based and relational. Using Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Polyvagal Theory, I help you understand what your nervous system is trying to tell you — and create the conditions for real, lasting change.
This isn't about insight alone. It's about helping you actually feel different in your body, your relationships, and your life.
Free 15-minute intro call available. Weekdays and evenings.

Amna Pervaiz
Registered Psychotherapist, Bachelors in Applied Psychology, Advanced Clinical Training in Contemporary Gestalt therapy.
My name is Amna, I am originally from Pakistan. Being an extrovert, I get energy from having meaningful conversations. That is one of the reasons my work is my passion. I have been practicing counselling for 7 years with my training in Gestalt therapy. I work with people, offer support to explore life and help create safe space to explore their options to bring a positive change. My experience includes working with people with anxieties, stress, depression, relationships issues, post-partum depression and grief. My professional training, and my own personal journey of therapy, have played a pivotal role for me to heal from my past traumas and helped me pave the path for the life I want to live. Through this process, I have understood the power of transformation that can occur within therapeutic relationships, and how it can support to build a new relationship with our own selves. I am excited to work with you, to support you through your life journey. I can offer therapy in English, Urdu and Punjabi.
12 Years Experience
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.
