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.

Dr Israel Berger
Therapist, MBBS, FRANZCP, PGCert(Youth Mental Health), MPsych, PhD(Psych), CCTP
I offer online therapy to increase access to people who have trouble getting to an in person therapist or simply prefer online therapy. My psychotherapy approach is tailored to your needs and what works best for you. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and I have worked with refugees, neurodivergent people, poly people, gay/lesbian/bi people, trans people, and intersex people with a variety of mental health concerns. Helping people overcome trauma is something I'm especially passionate about. I am also able to provide ADOS-2 autism assessments for adults and older teens.
