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.

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.

Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
My focus is on supporting men as they work through stress, anger, disconnection, and self-doubt. By encouraging honesty, vulnerability, and emotional clarity, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the challenges that show up in relationships, work, fatherhood, or identity. Counselling here isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about guiding you back into connection: with yourself, your core values, and the people who matter most, so you can move forward with greater clarity and purpose. I see counselling as a collaborative and creative process, shaped by the needs and direction of each person I work with. My role is to offer steady support while creating room for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Ultimately, my aim is to help you deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
If you're successful at work, but struggling in your personal life with inner distress that you cannot resolve, contact me now. I can help you to see where you are stuck, break destructive habits, shift unwanted emotional patterns, and gain the tools and self-understanding you need to live a peaceful, purposeful life.
My style is one of warmth, curiosity, non-judgement and depth. The work I do is not standard 'Talk Therapy', but a combination of the most efffective somatic, systemic, trauma-wise approaches available. During our sessions, you won't just discuss your troubles, you'll outgrow them.
I deeply believe that every client I work with has what it takes to find healing, fulfillment, and the inner conviction to create deep, lasting change. If you're ready for that change, click the website link to book a free initial consult.

Anne-Lynn Teoh
Registered Psychotherapist, MoPC
Sometimes you can know something is missing without knowing what it is. You may feel empty, disconnected or exhausted by relationships that leave you longing to feel truly seen, heard and understood. You may overthink, shut down, struggle to know what you need, or find yourself repeating the same patterns despite wanting something different.
I work with adults and couples experiencing relationship distress, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, anxiety, burnout and difficult boundaries. My systemic, attachment-informed and trauma-sensitive approach explores what may sit beneath these experiences, including early relationships, family dynamics and the ways we learned to protect ourselves.
Sometimes these experiences have a name. For some women, the search for connection, attunement and nurturing that was missing in childhood can be understood through the concept of Mother Hunger—something that can continue to shape how we experience ourselves and our relationships long into adulthood.
You don't have to know exactly what's wrong before coming to therapy. We can begin with what you are experiencing now and explore what it may be asking for.

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.
