Tyla Stroebel
Psychologist, BA Psych Hons; MSc
At The Psych Assessment Studio, we focus on high-quality, neuroaffirming assessments and support for both children and adults. I have extensive experience in ADHD and autism assessments, cognitive and adademic assessments and functional capacity assessments. Our practice is grounded in a strengths-based approach that celebrates neurodiversity. My work and passion is particularly focused on supporting high-masking and internalised presentations, helping individuals better understand their unique neurotype and thrive across home, school, and work settings. I strive for a compassionate, affirming style and pride myself on translating complex diagnostic information into meaningful insights, practical strategies, and personalised support recommendations. I also bring lived experience as an Adhder person and mother.

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.

Counsellor/Therapist, Counsellor/Psychotherapist, ACA-L3
Hi there! As a counsellor, I am deeply committed to providing a safe, supportive, and empowering space for anyone seeking guidance and healing. My journey into counselling comes from a profound belief in the transformative power of human connection and the resilience of the human spirit.
I believe that each person's journey is unique, shaped by their experiences, challenges, and aspirations. With empathy as my compass, I will strive to meet you where you are, honouring your stories and fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship built on trust and mutual respect.
Drawing from various modalities and my diverse training, I tailor my approach to suit your individual needs and goals. Whether navigating life transitions, managing anxiety or depression, or healing from past traumas, I am dedicated to providing effective strategies, tools, and insights to support your personal growth and emotional well-being.
I offer a non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns freely. Through active listening, empathy, and validation, I will guide you to gain clarity, develop coping skills, and cultivate resilience in the face of life's challenges.
I am committed to ongoing learning and professional development, staying informed about the latest research and best practices in counselling to ensure that I provide the highest quality of care to you. My goal is not only to alleviate immediate distress but also to empower you to cultivate a meaningful and fulfilling life, grounded in authenticity and purpose.
It would be an honour to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. Together, we can navigate the complexities of life with compassion, courage, and resilience.

Hawaa Dajan
Psychologist, Master of Professional Psychology, General Registration with the Psychology Board of Australia
I’m Hawaa Dajan, a Registered Psychologist with AHPRA and a Master of Professional Psychology, with a particular interest in supporting women’s mental health. My experience includes working in public community mental health as well as private practice, where I have supported people experiencing a range of mental health and life challenges.
I take a trauma-informed and evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing on therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I work collaboratively with clients to explore how past experiences can shape the way we think, feel, and respond in the present, while developing practical strategies that align with their individual goals and values. If requested, I can also incorporate Islamic values and perspectives into therapy, while respecting each person’s cultural background, beliefs, and individual experiences.
I recognise that opening up to someone new can take time. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself and work at a pace that feels manageable. Therapy is tailored to your circumstances and what you would like to achieve, with a focus on helping you develop greater self-understanding, coping skills, and meaningful change. If you feel I may be able to support you on your mental health journey, please feel free to reach out. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your needs, answer any questions, and explore how we might work together. I look forward to meeting you!
