The Becoming Practice
Counsellor/Therapist, M Couns; BSocSc (Psychology)
I offer online counselling and telehealth therapy for individuals and couples across Australia.
A gentle, grounding space to pause, reflect and gain clarity — where challenges feel less overwhelming and new possibilities begin to emerge.
Our work begins with understanding your story, your struggles, your hopes and the barriers standing in your way. Together, we create meaningful change using strengths-based, evidence-informed approaches including Internal Family Systems, CBT-informed strategies, ACT principles and person-centred counselling.
A place of Becoming — whole, strong and authentically you.
Online counselling Australia-wide for anxiety, trauma, stress, relationships and personal growth.

Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
I'm passionate about supporting your personal development, hand-in-hand with nature, in service of the earth.
Disconnection is a real threat to a meaningful life. And I see more and more people seeking meaning and connection in an increasingly disconnected world.
I help people like you connect with themselves, with the people in their lives and with the world around them.
I’ve worked with people from all walks of life all over the globe. Using a somatic, nature-based approach, I know how to help you navigate disconnection and become an embodied, more connected human.
If you're someone who's feeling out of place in your world, or you're in a relationship that's struggling, I can help. We'll combine the best of therapy & coaching to bring about transformative, lasting change.

Rana Salloum - Relationships & Diversity (Sentient)
Counsellor/Therapist, Counsellor, MA, ACA-L3
I have over 15 years of experience working with multicultural populations, in different countries such as the USA and Lebanon. I offer therapy in both English and Arabic. I can also hold a conversation in French. I support at-risk youth, displaced families, and those facing relationship problems. I work with mood disorders and different types of trauma, created by bullying and domestic violence. I offer a client-centred and multicultural approach in therapy. I emphasise accepting the uniqueness of each individual while also working with the intricate impact of culture on self- awareness, development and overall well-being.
In addition to the wide range of therapeutic techniques I use, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am also an animal lover and believe in integrating animals into therapy, when appropriate, as this type of therapy can provide soothing, healing and comfort for individual clients.
I view the process of counselling as a delicate and enriching experience, both for my clients as well as for myself as a counsellor.

Sydney's high cost of living, competitive job market, and population density create significant ongoing stress for residents, with therapists frequently addressing housing anxiety, burnout, and the pressures of maintaining relationships in a fast-paced city. The city has large Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Lebanese communities, and culturally competent and multilingual therapists are in consistent demand across its diverse suburban and inner-city neighbourhoods. Sydney's mental health landscape is supported by institutions including Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the Black Dog Institute at UNSW, with a large private therapy community serving the CBD, Inner West, Northern Beaches, and Eastern Suburbs. Medicare rebates through Mental Health Treatment Plans make a significant number of sessions partially subsidised for eligible residents.
