Rhiannon Derrig - Sexuality And Relationships (Sentient)
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, PACFA; Psychosexual Therapist
As a registered psychosexual therapist, I specialise in helping individuals with trauma and PTSD, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, and sexual difficulties, including intimacy and trust. I am also passionate about providing support for navigating gendered, sexual, racial, and neuro diversity, and cultural identities, who may experience discrimination or internalised stigma.
Centering unconditional positive regard, I work closely with the client to deeply explore how their past experiences, current situations, family background, and social elements of their lives have impacted their wellbeing. I then work together with the client to explore how they navigate life within their social and environmental surroundings, as well as how to establish an environment and support system that is conducive to growth and healthy self-esteem.
As a therapist, I deeply value sex positivity, social justice and removing the stigma and social constraints surrounding mental health work. I also aim to move away from binary and the pathologisation of queerness and neurodiversity, and provide dedicated support for people who feel they fall outside of the margins of the dominant societal group.
Peer support towards queerness and neurodiversity is an important therapeutic element that I provide - living actively in the queer community and with neurodiversity myself, I am able to genuinely connect with others who may identify with similar experiences.

Julia Derry, Collaboration Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Social Science (Human Services Counselling)
Clients have commented on how I have a warm, kind and gentle nature. I think it’s these qualities that help create a safe, honest and genuine connection with people. When you have a genuine relationship where you feel safe, cared for and understood, you can explore a better way forward together.

Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
I work from a nature-based perspective and like to support you to find your particular way of being in the world. Life is challenging right now. Sometimes it's scary and often it's confusing. The climate and ecological changes happening to us and around us are daunting. But with proper support it's possible to find your own ground, your own voice and your own place in it all. I believe in empowering you to find your own answers and your own ways of dealing with whatever you’re facing.
