Wonderful Mess
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Social Work, Diploma of Counselling
I am passionate about helping people because of my own story of going through hell and back.
Over the past 9 years, I have gone from not believing mental health was a thing, to severe burnout due to workplace bullying, then a car accident, to educating myself on mental health to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I now see it as my duty to give back, to help others going through what life throws at them. Because, I swear to you, things can get better.
I sincerely believe that we all need counselling at some point (or several points) in our lives.
I am here to tell you that you are not alone. I will hold you hand while you are working through whatever is causing you to struggle, and to uncover all these strengths within you that you may not even know you have.

Mathew Bergan
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist and Counsellor (Grad Dip)
My therapy practice offers a grounded, relational space where you can slow down, feel met, and work at a pace that respects your nervous system and your story. I combine Gestalt and somatic approaches to help you build awareness, process difficult experiences, and strengthen your sense of agency in everyday life. Clients often reach out when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and want support that is practical and deeply human. If you’re looking for therapy that values meaningful change, I welcome you to make contact.

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.
