Depression
Dimitri Hawa
Psychologist, Psychologist-BA, BPsycSc (Hons), GradDipProfPsych
Therapy will place a strong emphasis on creating an empathetic space for clients to process and effectively manage depressive symptoms. The non-judgmental environment is designed to enable clients to safely explore and delve into the complexities of their depression. By applying evidence-based practices (schema therapy methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic approaches, attachment approaches), fostering a healthy safe therapeutic alliance and tailoring interventions to each client’s unique needs, clients acquire the necessary skills for effectively managing their depressive symptoms. Whether the focus is on major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, or other related depressive conditions, the approaches can assist clients in alleviating the emotional burden of depression and progressing towards an improved quality of life.
Call for a free consultation. Medicare rebated sessions (obtained from a GP called mental health care plan) and private health insurance rebates session available.

Depression
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Depression can make even small things feel impossibly heavy — getting out of bed, staying connected, finding meaning in your day. If you're feeling stuck, numb, or worn down, let's work together to help you find your way back to yourself.
The first step in working with depression is understanding that there is nothing wrong with you for struggling — depression is not a character flaw, and healing is absolutely possible. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore what's underneath the heaviness and build a path toward feeling more like yourself again. My approach focuses on self-compassion, gentle accountability, and finding sustainable ways forward, one step at a time.
You don't have to carry this alone. Let's take the first step toward feeling lighter and more connected to your life.

Depression
Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
My focus is on supporting men as they work through stress, anger, disconnection, and self-doubt. By encouraging honesty, vulnerability, and emotional clarity, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the challenges that show up in relationships, work, fatherhood, or identity. Counselling here isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about guiding you back into connection: with yourself, your core values, and the people who matter most, so you can move forward with greater clarity and purpose. I see counselling as a collaborative and creative process, shaped by the needs and direction of each person I work with. My role is to offer steady support while creating room for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Ultimately, my aim is to help you deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.

Depression
Ronnie Adamowicz
Therapist, M.A. Psych
I approach depression through a somatic and relational lens, understanding it not as a personal failure or something to be “fixed,” but often as a protective response of the nervous system to overwhelm, loss, or long-held emotional pain. Depression can show up as numbness, exhaustion, low motivation, disconnection, or a sense of meaninglessness — experiences that are deeply embodied, not just mental.
In somatic psychotherapy, we work gently with the body’s signals to restore movement, vitality, and emotional contact at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Rather than pushing for positivity or insight alone, this approach supports gradual reconnection with feeling, agency, and self-compassion. Over time, clients often find increased energy, clarity, and a renewed capacity to engage with life and relationships.
This work can be especially helpful if depression feels persistent, if talk therapy hasn’t shifted things, or if you experience depression alongside anxiety or trauma.

Depression
Rita El Alaoui
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapy diploma, reiki master diploma.
Depression isn't just sadness, it's heaviness. It's the fog that makes everything harder, the exhaustion that makes getting out of bed feel like climbing a mountain, and the voice that whispers, "What's the point?" You're not lazy. You're not broken. You're carrying a weight that was never yours to hold alone.
Hypnotherapy offers a gentle path back to the light. In a safe, quiet space, we work with your subconscious to lift the fog, piece by piece. We don't rush. We don't judge. We simply help your mind remember what it feels like to hope again.
