Mindnest Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Couns
Seeking support can feel daunting, especially when you are overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. At Mindnest Counselling in Illawong, I offer warm, practical and trauma-informed counselling for individuals, couples, children, teens and families across the Sutherland Shire, Sydney and online throughout Australia.
I support clients experiencing anxiety, stress, ADHD, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, trauma-related concerns and major life transitions. Sessions are tailored to your needs and pace, helping you feel heard, understood and supported while building practical tools for everyday life.
My background is a little different from many counsellors. Before opening Mindnest Counselling, I worked across law enforcement, the legal sector, crisis response, child protection and community services, supporting people through complex and high-pressure situations. This shaped the way I work — with compassion, calmness, practicality and respect for what people carry.
In-person sessions are available in Illawong, and online counselling is available Australia-wide. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can ask questions and see whether Mindnest Counselling feels like the right fit.

Charu Mangla Goel
Psychologist, MA, Psy BA
I am a psychotherapist working holistically with the mind body spirit. Working from psychodynamic psychotherapy framework, I can help you work through difficult personal experiences and corresponding difficulties in your relationships. My approach involves helping you look at your internal world- your thoughts/beliefs and patterns of behaviour (created early in life and replicated in your current challenges) and connect with the underlying emotions, so you can experience a changed relationship to self and others.
I have advanced knowledge of trauma informed recovery models and experience in the delivery of evidence informed practice in trauma recover. I have worked in the role of Practice Lead, providing supervision, professional learning and specialist consultation to counsellors in trauma informed practice. I have also been involved with teaching and psychotherapy research at various Universities.
