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.

Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
Hi, I'm Michael. I'm an Accredited Social Worker and a PhD candidate in mental health, working online with adults and couples across Australia.
Most people who reach me have been holding things together for a long time. Some are in obvious distress; many are not. They are functioning, capable, and quietly tired. A good number have already had therapy that did not reach them. They are looking for someone who can sit with what they are carrying without rushing to fix it; someone who has thought seriously, in research and in their own life, about lived and living experience of mental health, suicide, family violence, or migration.
The work draws on clinical training, doctoral research, and lived experience of caregiving, migration, and suicide bereavement in my own family. I hold full membership of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) and the Australian Association for Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy (AACBT), am bound by the AASW Code of Ethics, and work under regular professional supervision myself.

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.
