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.

Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
Hi, I'm Michael. I'm an Accredited Social Worker and a PhD candidate in mental health, working online with adults and couples across Australia.
Most people who reach me have been holding things together for a long time. Some are in obvious distress; many are not. They are functioning, capable, and quietly tired. A good number have already had therapy that did not reach them. They are looking for someone who can sit with what they are carrying without rushing to fix it; someone who has thought seriously, in research and in their own life, about lived and living experience of mental health, suicide, family violence, or migration.
The work draws on clinical training, doctoral research, and lived experience of caregiving, migration, and suicide bereavement in my own family. I hold full membership of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) and the Australian Association for Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy (AACBT), am bound by the AASW Code of Ethics, and work under regular professional supervision myself.

Rob McClintock Counselling
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Dip Counselling ACA, Clinical Hypnotherapist ASCH,
What sets my practice apart is the powerful combination of personal experience and proven methodology. As someone who has personally overcome addiction and depression, I don't just understand your struggles academically - I've lived them and found a way through.
My Subconscious Dynamics™ approach gets results where other therapies have failed. While traditional talk therapy addresses surface-level thoughts, I work directly with your subconscious mind where real transformation happens. This is where your habits, triggers, and limiting beliefs actually live - and where they can be permanently rewired.
My clients often see breakthrough progress within weeks, not years. I've helped people who were told they were "treatment-resistant" or who had tried multiple therapists without success. My holistic, medication-free approach addresses root causes, creating lasting change rather than temporary relief.
You don't have to struggle alone anymore. If you're tired of surface-level solutions and ready for real transformation, I invite you to take the first step. Contact me today for a consultation where we can discuss how my unique approach can help you break free from what's been holding you back and create the life you truly want. Your breakthrough is closer than you think.

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.
