Dr Israel Berger
Therapist, MBBS, FRANZCP, PGCert(Youth Mental Health), MPsych, PhD(Psych), CCTP
I offer online therapy to increase access to people who have trouble getting to an in person therapist or simply prefer online therapy. My psychotherapy approach is tailored to your needs and what works best for you. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and I have worked with refugees, neurodivergent people, poly people, gay/lesbian/bi people, trans people, and intersex people with a variety of mental health concerns. Helping people overcome trauma is something I'm especially passionate about. I am also able to provide ADOS-2 autism assessments for adults and older teens.

Hawaa Dajan
Psychologist, Master of Professional Psychology, General Registration with the Psychology Board of Australia
I’m Hawaa Dajan, a Registered Psychologist with AHPRA and a Master of Professional Psychology, with a particular interest in supporting women’s mental health. My experience includes working in public community mental health as well as private practice, where I have supported people experiencing a range of mental health and life challenges.
I take a trauma-informed and evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing on therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I work collaboratively with clients to explore how past experiences can shape the way we think, feel, and respond in the present, while developing practical strategies that align with their individual goals and values. If requested, I can also incorporate Islamic values and perspectives into therapy, while respecting each person’s cultural background, beliefs, and individual experiences.
I recognise that opening up to someone new can take time. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself and work at a pace that feels manageable. Therapy is tailored to your circumstances and what you would like to achieve, with a focus on helping you develop greater self-understanding, coping skills, and meaningful change. If you feel I may be able to support you on your mental health journey, please feel free to reach out. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your needs, answer any questions, and explore how we might work together. I look forward to meeting you!

Nexus Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, Candace Marshall MA, CCC
Being in the nexus of something means you are right in the middle of it hence, easy to feel overwhelmed by the multitude of things coming at you. At Nexus, I will work with you within the context of a nonjudgmental, collaborative and healing therapeutic relationship to parse out and clearly see the interwoven links and connections that contribute to how you experience, perceive and interpret life's challenges, difficulties and obstacles. Understanding these connections allows for the separation of what is important to you and focus on your goal(s) to improve your mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
While I work with clients from all walks of life with varied life issues & psychological disorders, my clinical work is largely focused on working with clients affected by Dissociative Disorders and PTSD. Since graduating in 2013, I have accumulated over 10,000 clinical hours with this population & work using range of approaches depending on client needs.

10 Years Experience
Online in Bendigo, VIC
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.
