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 individuals 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.

Rebekah Kittl
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA Level 1, ACC (ICF)
You keep saying you're fine. You're not entirely sure that's true anymore.
I'm Rebekah, a registered counsellor with more than two decades in business and leadership behind me. I know the pressure of being the one everyone relies on, and I know how loud the loop in your head can get, not just from the other side of the room.
Our sessions will feel like a real conversation, and we’ll work as partners. My practice is trauma-informed and neuro-affirming, so we’ll decide together on the pace and how we work. I’m comfortable with silence, so you’ll have time to say the things you haven’t been able to say anywhere else. We won’t only talk, either. If you’d like, we can also work with how stress shows up in your body, using breathwork, mindfulness and tapping techniques.
You don't need a crisis to reach out.

Anne-Lynn Teoh
Registered Psychotherapist, MoPC, BPsych (Hons), B.Sc. (Psych)
Sometimes we can know something is missing without knowing exactly what it is. We may understand our circumstances yet still struggle to understand ourselves – what we feel, what we need, or why certain relationships leave us feeling stuck.
I focus on what can sit beneath these experiences: the ways early relationships, family roles and our needs for connection can shape how we relate to ourselves and others. This can show up in how we communicate, respond to conflict, seek closeness or protect ourselves when connection feels difficult.
Together, we can approach these experiences with curiosity, recognising that every part of us developed for a reason; whether to help us adapt, protect ourselves and navigate what we have experienced, even when those ways of coping no longer serve us.
