Michael Brew
Counsellor/Therapist, Dip(Community Services), Dip(Mental Health)
Coming out at any age, can have its challenges. Often the greatest challenge is not knowing where you sit under the beautiful rainbow, or what friends and loved ones may have to say. As someone with lived experience, I can help and support you to navigate who you are intrinsically, and what that means moving forward, wether that's with friends/ family and colleagues.

Bendigo is Victoria's fourth-largest city, an inland regional centre with a celebrated gold rush heritage, outstanding cultural institutions including the Bendigo Art Gallery (one of Australia's finest regional galleries), and a contemporary economy built on healthcare, education, and manufacturing. Bendigo Health provides public mental health services to the region, and La Trobe University's Bendigo campus contributes trained mental health professionals and a student population to the local landscape. The surrounding Loddon Mallee region includes significant rural and farming communities, and Bendigo functions as a major referral point for mental health services across a large agricultural hinterland where access is a persistent challenge. Common therapy concerns include rural and farming community stress, student mental health, regional isolation, anxiety, depression, and the identity challenges of a regional city competing with Melbourne's pull for young professionals and families.
