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.

Counsellor/Therapist, Counsellor/Psychotherapist, ACA-L3
Hi there! As a counsellor, I am deeply committed to providing a safe, supportive, and empowering space for anyone seeking guidance and healing. My journey into counselling comes from a profound belief in the transformative power of human connection and the resilience of the human spirit.
I believe that each person's journey is unique, shaped by their experiences, challenges, and aspirations. With empathy as my compass, I will strive to meet you where you are, honouring your stories and fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship built on trust and mutual respect.
Drawing from various modalities and my diverse training, I tailor my approach to suit your individual needs and goals. Whether navigating life transitions, managing anxiety or depression, or healing from past traumas, I am dedicated to providing effective strategies, tools, and insights to support your personal growth and emotional well-being.
I offer a non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns freely. Through active listening, empathy, and validation, I will guide you to gain clarity, develop coping skills, and cultivate resilience in the face of life's challenges.
I am committed to ongoing learning and professional development, staying informed about the latest research and best practices in counselling to ensure that I provide the highest quality of care to you. My goal is not only to alleviate immediate distress but also to empower you to cultivate a meaningful and fulfilling life, grounded in authenticity and purpose.
It would be an honour to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. Together, we can navigate the complexities of life with compassion, courage, and resilience.

Julia Symons
Psychologist, Registered psychologist - BSc, Grad. Dip. App. Psych
Perimenopause and menopause, increased caregiving responsibilities, re-evaluating relationships, career transitions, burnout, questioning meaning and purpose - some or all these can characterise midlife for women. While this time of life can be challenging, it can also offer opportunities for self-discovery and growth. I'm a psychologist with many years of experience and a special interest in working with women navigating midlife and beyond. I aim to provide a space where you can express yourself freely, and assist you to deepen your understanding of yourself and make changes that are meaningful to you. Midlife can be time that facilitates a deeper connection with your authentic self, alongside renewed confidence and purpose. It would be a privilege to support you in this process.
