Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Confronting pain takes bravery and self-awareness, but you don't have to do it alone. With the right support, meaningful, lasting change is possible.
I've run a private practice since 2016, drawing on a blend of Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This means I can work practically, with clear tools and strategies, while also exploring the deeper narratives and beliefs that shape how you see yourself and others.
My approach is relational and collaborative. I work with empathy to help you examine the stories you carry, about yourself and, where relevant, about others. Many clients arrive having built strong defences over years, often shaped by difficult upbringings or unresolved trauma. My role is to create a space where those defences can soften enough for real change to take hold.
Alongside my psychotherapy practice, I spent over 20 years as Director of my own company. That experience gives me genuine insight into the pressures of professional and business life, and I often work with people who are highly successful by external measures but privately struggling, helping them navigate what success alone doesn't resolve.

Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
Hi, I’m Michael, known as Mick. I offer online EMDR and counselling for adults, alongside couples therapy, in English and Arabic.
You may be looking for help with a particular experience, or noticing that anxiety, grief, self-doubt or relationship difficulties keep returning. Perhaps you understand some of what is happening but still find it difficult to respond differently. We begin by exploring what troubles you, how it affects daily life and what you want from therapy.
I am an Accredited Social Worker and the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) Social Worker of the Year 2025. My practice brings together professional training, attention to culture and relationships, and lived experience of caregiving, migration and suicide bereavement.
There is room to discuss family expectations, identity, faith and responsibilities alongside your emotional wellbeing. You do not need to leave those parts of your life outside the conversation.
I work collaboratively and welcome questions about the approach, the pace and whether our sessions are helping. We review what you need as the work develops.

Holding a Diploma of Counselling alongside qualifications in Lifestyle Coaching and Yoga Teaching, Emma seamlessly weaves these holistic skills together.
