Hawaa Dajan
Psychologist, Master of Professional Psychology, Registered Psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia
I’m Hawaa Dajan, a Registered Psychologist with AHPRA and a Master of Professional Psychology, with a particular interest in supporting women’s mental health. My experience includes working in public community mental health as well as private practice, where I have supported people experiencing a range of mental health and life challenges.
I take a trauma-informed and evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing on therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I work collaboratively with clients to explore how past experiences can shape the way we think, feel, and respond in the present, while developing practical strategies that align with their individual goals and values. If requested, I can also incorporate Islamic values and perspectives into therapy, while respecting each person’s cultural background, beliefs, and individual experiences.
I recognise that opening up to someone new can take time. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself and work at a pace that feels manageable. Therapy is tailored to your circumstances and what you would like to achieve, with a focus on helping you develop greater self-understanding, coping skills, and meaningful change. If you feel I may be able to support you on your mental health journey, please feel free to reach out. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your needs, answer any questions, and explore how we might work together. I look forward to meeting you!

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.

John Zavaglia (Mind LIfe)
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA Registered, PC Grad MHN & Neuro, MBA
You don't need to have everything figured out before we talk. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, caught in your own thoughts or simply not like yourself anymore. That's where we can start.
My role is to give you a space to talk openly, make sense of what's happening and understand what's keeping you stuck. Together, we'll work towards greater clarity, confidence and a stronger sense of direction about what comes next.
I specialise in Men's Mental Health, while also welcoming women who feel my approach may be right for them.
