Scott Stalley Realistic Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDipBA, GradDipMgmt(Learning), AdvDipOHS, DipCouns, DipQA, CertIV TAE
I believe real change begins with real conversations. My approach is grounded, practical, and centred on helping people feel heard, understood, and supported without judgement. I work with individuals facing relationship challenges, stress, trauma, identity struggles, and life transitions, offering strategies that are realistic and achievable.
My goal is to empower clients to rebuild confidence, strengthen boundaries, and create healthier patterns in their lives. Everyone deserves a safe space to talk, heal, and grow, and I’m committed to walking alongside you as you take those steps.

Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
I want my clients to get the most out of therapy, so that, as soon as possible, they no longer need therapy. Foremost in how I work is the establishment of as much safety as is reasonably possible and a strong collaborative alliance. I bring my full being to meet clients where they are at and walk with them to where they want to be. I work with you to tap into and develop your own innate capacities for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healing. Whether it is trauma, grief and loss, or relational, emotional or life purpose issues, I help you get to the root cause of your experience and connect to it in a powerful, transformative way.
The parable of teaching a person to fish can apply here. Together we will catch some fish and address the immediate problems, but ultimately you will be better at fishing yourself, so you will carry the gifts of therapy with you long after we stop working together.
I chose the path of psychotherapy because I wanted to address the root cause of suffering and find a way to be of meaningful service. It is a deeply transformative and fulfilling path. There is something about being with another in therapy that leaves me never quite the same as when I entered the session. As such, my work brings me life, just as I endeavour the same for my clients. If this is resonating with you, I encourage you to contact me for a free consultation call.

Irene Valis
Counsellor/Therapist, Gestalt Psychotherapist, PACFA Certified Counsellor, Life Coach
I am a PACFA certified counsellor and Gestalt psychotherapist based in Sydney, Australia. My specialty is working with women who are experiencing anxiety, stuckness or emotional dysregulation and who are ready to begin to understand themselves and their needs; and in turn cultivate greater calm, vitality and ease both in their body and in their lives.
I blend Gestalt Therapy, Polyvagal Theory and parts work to provide a holistic, relational, integrated approach to healing, growth and change.
Through my own experience navigating life as a devoted wife and mother; I understand the complexities and challenges that come with meeting the needs of others whilst also learning to identify, articulate and meet my own.
I learned to do so with the support of a kind, compassionate, resonate therapist. It is now my privilege to pass on the flame and provide other women with a safe space to feel heard and be seen and I love nothing more than to guide women on a powerful and life-changing journey towards self-acceptance, self-love and self-empowerment.
I offer free 15 minute connection calls so I can learn more about what you are experiencing and answer any questions you may have to ensure we are a right fit for each other.

Townsville is the largest city in tropical North Queensland — a military, agricultural, and mining hub built around Lavarack Barracks (home to the Army's 3rd Brigade), James Cook University, and a regional healthcare system serving a vast geographic area. The city's significant Australian Army presence creates therapy demand from military families navigating deployment stress and the emotional challenges of service life, while the broader civilian population navigates the economic cycles of mining and agriculture. Townsville University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while James Cook University's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local and regional community. Townsville's tropical climate and geographic isolation — it is the largest city between Brisbane and Darwin — mean therapists serve clients from a very wide catchment, and telehealth plays an important role in extending care across North Queensland.
