Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
I want my clients to get the most out of therapy, so that, as soon as possible, they no longer need therapy. Foremost in how I work is the establishment of as much safety as is reasonably possible and a strong collaborative alliance. I bring my full being to meet clients where they are at and walk with them to where they want to be. I work with you to tap into and develop your own innate capacities for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healing. Whether it is trauma, grief and loss, or relational, emotional or life purpose issues, I help you get to the root cause of your experience and connect to it in a powerful, transformative way.
The parable of teaching a person to fish can apply here. Together we will catch some fish and address the immediate problems, but ultimately you will be better at fishing yourself, so you will carry the gifts of therapy with you long after we stop working together.
I chose the path of psychotherapy because I wanted to address the root cause of suffering and find a way to be of meaningful service. It is a deeply transformative and fulfilling path. There is something about being with another in therapy that leaves me never quite the same as when I entered the session. As such, my work brings me life, just as I endeavour the same for my clients. If this is resonating with you, I encourage you to contact me for a free consultation call.

Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
Hi, I’m Michael, known as Mick. I offer online EMDR and counselling for adults, alongside couples therapy, in English and Arabic.
You may be looking for help with a particular experience, or noticing that anxiety, grief, self-doubt or relationship difficulties keep returning. Perhaps you understand some of what is happening but still find it difficult to respond differently. We begin by exploring what troubles you, how it affects daily life and what you want from therapy.
I am an Accredited Social Worker and the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) Social Worker of the Year 2025. My practice brings together professional training, attention to culture and relationships, and lived experience of caregiving, migration and suicide bereavement.
There is room to discuss family expectations, identity, faith and responsibilities alongside your emotional wellbeing. You do not need to leave those parts of your life outside the conversation.
I work collaboratively and welcome questions about the approach, the pace and whether our sessions are helping. We review what you need as the work develops.
