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.

Tony O'Loughlin
Registered Psychotherapist, GradDip Psychotherapy, BA (Social Science), Trauma Informed Somatic Facilitator, PACFA member
Something in you already knows it's time.
Maybe you've been living with anxiety that feels woven into who you are. Maybe trauma has shaped how you move through the world — your relationships, your body, your sense of self — and you're ready to start unravelling that. Or perhaps you're exhausted from trying to hold everything together alone.
I'm Tony, a PACFA-registered psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and teens in person in Castlemaine, Victoria, and online across Australia and internationally. I specialise in trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.
My work is body-based and relational. Using Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Polyvagal Theory, I help you understand what your nervous system is trying to tell you — and create the conditions for real, lasting change.
This isn't about insight alone. It's about helping you actually feel different in your body, your relationships, and your life.
Free 15-minute intro call available. Weekdays and evenings.

John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MIAEB, FRAI
I have been a psychotherapist and mental health coach for many years, and I now specialise almost exclusively in helping those with, or recovering from, cancer. It's a debilitating disease that I have experienced twice, so I know at first hand the effect it can have on the quality of life and particularly how it makes us feel -- either as a reaction to being diagnosed and undergoing treatment, or when in remission as a survivor, the fear of it recurring.
I can also help family members and close friends, who often feel helpless bystanders.
We have all experienced our feelings dominating what we think, and what we do. But heightened emotions stop us thinking clearly. And that can often lead us to feel out of control.
Unlike many therapists, I do not believe that the adverse effect on our thinking and our behaviour from a life-changing event like cancer is a dysfunctional flaw or a disorder that needs treatment. Typical reactions to cancer --anxiety, fear, stress and low mood -- are part of life. Why cancer often triggers is a range of reactions: shock and denial; Shock and denial that it is happening. Coping with fear, anxiety and panic can be difficult, particularly as mood swings may frequently change. Feelings of sadness may range from low moof to extreme depression.
Ultimately we know, at a rational level, that we are mortal. But we also have we also have a very strong instinct to survive. We want to live. And enjoy life. Cancer is not the death sentence it once was.
I can help you come to terms with the reality as well as the inevitable perceptions that may influence you. And I can help you to flourish, rather than just cope and survive.
