Amna Pervaiz
Registered Psychotherapist, Bachelors in Applied Psychology, Advanced Clinical Training in Contemporary Gestalt therapy.
My name is Amna, I am originally from Pakistan. Being an extrovert, I get energy from having meaningful conversations. That is one of the reasons my work is my passion. I have been practicing counselling for 7 years with my training in Gestalt therapy. I work with people, offer support to explore life and help create safe space to explore their options to bring a positive change. My experience includes working with people with anxieties, stress, depression, relationships issues, post-partum depression and grief. My professional training, and my own personal journey of therapy, have played a pivotal role for me to heal from my past traumas and helped me pave the path for the life I want to live. Through this process, I have understood the power of transformation that can occur within therapeutic relationships, and how it can support to build a new relationship with our own selves. I am excited to work with you, to support you through your life journey. I can offer therapy in English, Urdu and Punjabi.

Gregory Poll
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
I am a qualified Gestalt and Somatic psychotherapist, as well as a clinical supervisor.
I am specialising in working with people who have experienced early childhood developmental trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational challenges. Using a blend of modalities, I tap into personal awareness, freedom, and self-direction.
My attention is focused on an intuitive, creative, and spontaneous process that centres on what is happening in the present moment between me and the client. Working somatically, I focus on the connection between the MIND and BODY to address mental and emotional health issues, especially trauma. "Inner Child" work is one of my key passions, and it plays a significant role in shaping my therapeutic approach. My focus on trauma is addressing the root causes rather than just the symptoms.
My Philosophy... "It is not essential what happened to us in the PAST; what matters most is how we make sense of it NOW."

Toowoomba is Australia's second-largest inland city and the regional hub of the Darling Downs, serving a large agricultural hinterland across one of Australia's most productive farming regions, and its mental health landscape reflects both the needs of a regional city and the particular stresses of farming communities navigating drought, financial pressure, and geographic isolation. Darling Downs Health provides public mental health services, and the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) based in Toowoomba contributes trained counsellors and psychologists to the local mental health workforce through its psychology programs. Agricultural stress, the mental health impact of prolonged drought, and the challenges of rural isolation are among the most significant mental health issues in the broader Toowoomba region, and the city serves as the access point for mental health care across a wide rural area. Common therapy concerns include farm and rural stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and the adjustment challenges of agricultural and service sector workers in a regional city.
