Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
Hi, I'm Michael. I'm an Accredited Social Worker and a PhD candidate in mental health, working online with adults and couples across Australia.
Most people who reach me have been holding things together for a long time. Some are in obvious distress; many are not. They are functioning, capable, and quietly tired. A good number have already had therapy that did not reach them. They are looking for someone who can sit with what they are carrying without rushing to fix it; someone who has thought seriously, in research and in their own life, about lived and living experience of mental health, suicide, family violence, or migration.
The work draws on clinical training, doctoral research, and lived experience of caregiving, migration, and suicide bereavement in my own family. I hold full membership of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) and the Australian Association for Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy (AACBT), am bound by the AASW Code of Ethics, and work under regular professional supervision myself.

Rita El Alaoui
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapy diploma, reiki master diploma.
I help people change the automatic patterns running in the background of their minds. While many try to create change through willpower alone, real and lasting transformation happens when the subconscious patterns are gently reshaped through hypnotherapy.
I am here to help you overcome addictions, quit smoking, relieve chronic pain and trauma in order to guide you towards lasting healing transformation and renewed control over your life.

Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.
