Irene Valis
Counsellor/Therapist, Gestalt Psychotherapist, PACFA Certified Counsellor, Life Coach
As a wife, mother and daughter, I resonate with the joys and challenges of parenting.
I tried so hard to be a good mum that eventually I lost my way a little and made child-rearing like a mission to accomplish rather than a journey to be savoured and experienced.
This awareness led me to seek support and put the oxygen-mask on as they say.
Now my parenting experience has completely shifted, it is a lot more relaxed, satisfying and fun - and my children and husband feel it too.
My mission is to nurture and support other women who are mothers or are planning to be mothers to foster and engage in safe, respectful and loving relationships first within themselves and in turn their children and their family.
I also support mothers who have recently become empty-nesters and grappling with a sense of loss of identity and purpose.

Michael Brew
Counsellor/Therapist, Dip(Community Services), Dip(Mental Health)
Parenting can be hard, we don't always have the answers, and for some, children's individual challenges, can push the parental limits.
I will help you understand what it is that's trigging your parental shutdown, and support you to find a more positive approach in guiding and supporting your child/ren to grow in to emotionally healthy adults.

Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
Being a dad can bring pressures that few people talk about. Balancing work, family, and your own well-being can feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to lose sight of yourself in the process. I offer a space to sort through the stress, expectations, and emotions that come with fatherhood, without judgment. You don’t have to navigate these challenges on your own—I’m here to support you in finding clarity, balance, and a stronger sense of yourself as both a man and a parent
