John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MIAEB, FRAI
I have been a psychotherapist and mental health coach for many years, and I now specialise almost exclusively in helping those with, or recovering from, cancer. It's a debilitating disease that I have experienced twice, so I know at first hand the effect it can have on the quality of life and particularly how it makes us feel -- either as a reaction to being diagnosed and undergoing treatment, or when in remission as a survivor, the fear of it recurring.
I can also help family members and close friends, who often feel helpless bystanders.
We have all experienced our feelings dominating what we think, and what we do. But heightened emotions stop us thinking clearly. And that can often lead us to feel out of control.
Unlike many therapists, I do not believe that the adverse effect on our thinking and our behaviour from a life-changing event like cancer is a dysfunctional flaw or a disorder that needs treatment. Typical reactions to cancer --anxiety, fear, stress and low mood -- are part of life. Why cancer often triggers is a range of reactions: shock and denial; Shock and denial that it is happening. Coping with fear, anxiety and panic can be difficult, particularly as mood swings may frequently change. Feelings of sadness may range from low moof to extreme depression.
Ultimately we know, at a rational level, that we are mortal. But we also have we also have a very strong instinct to survive. We want to live. And enjoy life. Cancer is not the death sentence it once was.
I can help you come to terms with the reality as well as the inevitable perceptions that may influence you. And I can help you to flourish, rather than just cope and survive.

Gregory Poll
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
I am a qualified Gestalt and Somatic psychotherapist, as well as a clinical supervisor.
I am specialising in working with people who have experienced early childhood developmental trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational challenges. Using a blend of modalities, I tap into personal awareness, freedom, and self-direction.
My attention is focused on an intuitive, creative, and spontaneous process that centres on what is happening in the present moment between me and the client. Working somatically, I focus on the connection between the MIND and BODY to address mental and emotional health issues, especially trauma. "Inner Child" work is one of my key passions, and it plays a significant role in shaping my therapeutic approach. My focus on trauma is addressing the root causes rather than just the symptoms.
My Philosophy... "It is not essential what happened to us in the PAST; what matters most is how we make sense of it NOW."

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.

Dipak Jilka - Psychotherapist & Counsellor
Therapist, Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) – PACFA Reg. Clinical 26570
Holding a grounded stance of compassion, empathy, non-judgment and light-hearted curiosity, I provide a safe and reflective space for clients to explore and gently unpack their lives. While clients may initially seek support for concerns such as anger, anxiety, compulsive sexual behaviours, relationship difficulties, or other presenting issues, my experience has shown that the underlying dynamics are often more complex than they first appear.
My therapeutic ethos is centred on not viewing clients as problems to be fixed, but as individuals whose struggles deserve to be witnessed with respect, depth and thoughtful exploration. I work collaboratively, supporting clients to develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and clarity about how they wish to live.
I am of South Asian heritage, raised in London, and have lived in Sydney for over 30 years. Having straddled Eastern and Western cultures, including the particular nuances of my Indian background, I bring a culturally informed and integrative perspective to my practice. My earlier corporate career and lived experience of family life in Australia, alongside my own encounters with anxiety, stress and periods of low mood, have deepened my understanding of the pressures many clients face.
My personal journey toward greater meaning, purpose and self-understanding informs my belief in psychotherapy as a transformative process. I am committed to supporting clients in cultivating insight, living more consciously, and moving toward lives that feel authentic and self-directed.
If this approach resonates with you, I welcome the opportunity to connect.
