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.

Gregory Poll
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
I am a qualified Gestalt and Somatic psychotherapist, as well as a clinical supervisor.
I am specialising in working with people who have experienced early childhood developmental trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational challenges. Using a blend of modalities, I tap into personal awareness, freedom, and self-direction.
My attention is focused on an intuitive, creative, and spontaneous process that centres on what is happening in the present moment between me and the client. Working somatically, I focus on the connection between the MIND and BODY to address mental and emotional health issues, especially trauma. "Inner Child" work is one of my key passions, and it plays a significant role in shaping my therapeutic approach. My focus on trauma is addressing the root causes rather than just the symptoms.
My Philosophy... "It is not essential what happened to us in the PAST; what matters most is how we make sense of it NOW."

Emma Crook
Counsellor/Therapist, Diploma of Counselling
Emma brings a beautiful blend of professional expertise and genuine, heart-led warmth to her practice. Her passion for holistic wellness inspired her to step into the counselling space, driven by a deep desire to help others experience the same transformational growth she has seen firsthand.
Holding a Diploma of Counselling alongside qualifications in Lifestyle Coaching and Yoga Teaching, Emma seamlessly weaves these holistic skills together. She brings a wealth of hands-on experience to her work, dedicating herself to gently supporting both young people (ages 10-18+) and adults through their unique mental health journeys.
Often described by those around her as a "ray of sunshine," Emma has a natural gift for making people feel instantly at ease. When she isn't supporting clients, you’ll likely find her soaking up nature, saying yes to spontaneous adventures, and living and breathing all things wellness. She equally treasures the quiet moments - curling up on the couch with a good book, slowing down, and savouring the simple pleasures in life.

Tony O'Loughlin
Registered Psychotherapist, GradDip Psychotherapy, BA (Social Science), Trauma Informed Somatic Facilitator, PACFA member
Something in you already knows it's time.
Maybe you've been living with anxiety that feels woven into who you are. Maybe trauma has shaped how you move through the world — your relationships, your body, your sense of self — and you're ready to start unravelling that. Or perhaps you're exhausted from trying to hold everything together alone.
I'm Tony, a PACFA-registered psychotherapist working with individuals and couples online across Australia and the world. My expertise is in complex trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions like career change, loss of a loved one, relationship break ups.
I work primarily with somatic, relational and experiential modalities to support clients with their individual needs to explore their needs and patterns, bring about nervous system regulation and heal from trauma. Some of the modalities I have expertise in include Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Processwork Psychotherapy - I find these approaches create the conditions for real, lasting and embodied change.
This is about you actually feeling different in your body, your relationships, and your life.

Rachel Eddins
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, LPC
If you are looking for guidance with anxiety, fears, depression, or trauma and ptsd, it takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you can’t do everything on your own, is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast-paced, demanding world.
You are an expert on your situation. You understand it better than anyone because you are always in it, but when was the last time you stepped away to look at it from a new perspective? My approach is focused on helping you feel that you are whole, capable, enough, and doing your best - because you are.
Maybe, you just need some new skills to cope with all that goes on in your life. What you have learned in life never covered this. Or, perhaps, you've been feeling stuck in the same cycle of symptoms and are ready to try new skills to gain relief. We will work together to implement practical skills, create new habits, and get you moving again.
My approach is more active. I will be an active participant in your healing journey. Together, we will identify your most important goals and needs and work on a plan to get you there.
