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.

Mindnest Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Couns
Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, especially when you are overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to begin.
I work with adults and couples experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, ADHD, grief, workplace pressure, relationship difficulties, low self esteem, emotional overwhelm or major life changes. You do not need to arrive with a clear explanation of what is wrong. We can start with what has been feeling hardest lately.
My approach is warm, practical and straight talking. I will listen properly, ask honest questions and help you make sense of what has been happening. Together, we can look at the patterns, pressure and emotions underneath it and work out practical steps that feel realistic.
Before becoming a counsellor, I worked across law enforcement, the legal sector, crisis response, child protection and community services. These experiences shaped the way I work, with calmness, compassion and respect for what people carry.
Face to face counselling is available in Illawong, in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire, with online counselling available across Australia. I also offer a free 15 minute phone consultation if you would like to ask a few questions first.

Delphine Marina Psychotherapy and Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, Diploma Soul Centred Psychotherapy; MA(R.es) Cultural Studies; GradDip IT & Politics; BA(Hons)Human
You may have landed here because something no longer fits—an old story, a relationship, a way of being. Perhaps you’re tired of coping alone, of hiding the parts of you that feel too much, too sensitive, too complicated. I work with individuals who long for depth, authenticity, and a different way of relating to themselves and the world.
I also work with professionals and executives who are navigating high levels of responsibility, internal pressure, or relational complexity, and who are seeking a deeper, more grounded way of being.
My practice is grounded in Jungian, somatic, and trauma-informed approaches. Together, we listen for the deeper patterns, the quiet truths, the body’s wisdom, and the symbols that want to emerge. This work isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about making space for what’s true. For what’s been silenced or buried. It’s about becoming more whole.
I am an Australia-based psychotherapist offering online sessions to clients both locally and internationally. I work with individuals seeking depth-oriented, trauma-informed psychotherapy in a reflective, non-crisis setting.
As I am registered in Australia, I do not provide emergency or crisis services. Clients are encouraged to have local support available if needed.
If you’re ready to explore at your own pace—with compassion, honesty, and curiosity—I’m here. This work is best suited to those who are ready for reflective, insight-oriented psychotherapy rather than short-term or crisis-based support.
