Motivational Interviewing (MI)
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.

A gentle, grounding space to pause, reflect and gain clarity — where challenges feel less overwhelming and new possibilities begin to emerge.

A place of Becoming — whole, strong and authentically you.

Dr Romana Bowd
Psychologist, PhD, BSc (Hons), BSc (AppPsych)
My practice is not only a welcoming space physically, but I ensure that each person that seeks my service feels emotionally safe and supported through evidence-based practice and stepping through the objectives set by clients themselves. I have many years of lived experience as well as professional experience and accreditation and I also ensure that I give back to the community through volunteering with the Royal Lifesaving Society and Surf Lifesaving Queensland. I previously volunteered at Lifeline for 5 years (phone counselling). I encourage feedback and re-prioritising goals throughout the therapy process to ensure that client's needs are being met through this journey. I look forward to meeting new clients through this medium.

Body Sense Psychology
Psychologist, Master of Psychology, Bachelor of Arts (Honours Psychology), Certificate in Sexology
At Body Sense Psychology, I help you make sense of how your body holds your story. Life experiences, stress, trauma and health conditions show up physically as much as psychologically. By working together, I can help you understand these connections and create pathways towards
change, healing and resilience. As a fully registered psychologist I provide a safe, nurturing and non-judgemental environment for clients from all walks of life. I have a strong focus on ensuring that I'm the right therapeutic fit for you and work towards a deep understanding of you, your story, where you are now, and where you'd like to be. I apply the latest evidence-based psychological approaches that are appropriate for your needs and goals.
