Irene Valis
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA certified Gestalt therapist, Counsellor, Life Coach
I am a PACFA certified Gestalt psychotherapist based in Sydney, Australia. My specialty is working with women who are experiencing anxiety, stuckness or emotional dysregulation and who are ready to begin to understand themselves and their needs; and in turn cultivate greater calm, vitality and ease both in their body and in their lives.
I blend Gestalt Therapy, Polyvagal Theory and parts work to provide a holistic, relational, integrated approach to healing, growth and change.
Through my own experience navigating life as a devoted wife and mother; I understand the complexities and challenges that come with meeting the needs of others whilst also learning to identify, articulate and meet my own.
I learned to do so with the support of a kind, compassionate, resonate therapist. It is now my privilege to pass on the flame and provide other women with a safe space to feel heard and be seen and I love nothing more than to guide women on a powerful and life-changing journey towards self-acceptance, self-love and self-empowerment.
I offer free 15 minute connection calls so I can learn more about what you are experiencing and answer any questions you may have to ensure we are a right fit for each other.

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.

Mindnest Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Couns
Seeking support can feel daunting, especially when you are overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. At Mindnest Counselling in Illawong, I offer warm, practical and trauma-informed counselling for individuals, couples, children, teens and families across the Sutherland Shire, Sydney and online throughout Australia.
I support clients experiencing anxiety, stress, ADHD, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, trauma-related concerns and major life transitions. Sessions are tailored to your needs and pace, helping you feel heard, understood and supported while building practical tools for everyday life.
My background is a little different from many counsellors. Before opening Mindnest Counselling, I worked across law enforcement, the legal sector, crisis response, child protection and community services, supporting people through complex and high-pressure situations. This shaped the way I work — with compassion, calmness, practicality and respect for what people carry.
In-person sessions are available in Illawong, and online counselling is available Australia-wide. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can ask questions and see whether Mindnest Counselling feels like the right fit.

Oksana Pueschel
Marriage and Family Therapist, Grad Dip Family Counselling
I use a variety of evidence-based tools and techniques to help you reconnect with your existing strengths and cultivate additional resources that support progress toward the changes you wish to make. Depending on specific needs, I draw from a number of therapeutic modalities, all incorporating a respectful, strengths-based, person-centred and recovery-oriented approach. My practice is grounded in developmental, trauma-informed and solution-focused therapy within a family systems theoretical model. I frequently call on creative interventions, mindfulness and somatic resources to align your mind / body / spirit connection and consider cultural respect essential to my therapeutic approach.
