Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
I want my clients to get the most out of therapy, so that, as soon as possible, they no longer need therapy. Foremost in how I work is the establishment of as much safety as is reasonably possible and a strong collaborative alliance. I bring my full being to meet clients where they are at and walk with them to where they want to be. I work with you to tap into and develop your own innate capacities for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healing. Whether it is trauma, grief and loss, or relational, emotional or life purpose issues, I help you get to the root cause of your experience and connect to it in a powerful, transformative way.
The parable of teaching a person to fish can apply here. Together we will catch some fish and address the immediate problems, but ultimately you will be better at fishing yourself, so you will carry the gifts of therapy with you long after we stop working together.
I chose the path of psychotherapy because I wanted to address the root cause of suffering and find a way to be of meaningful service. It is a deeply transformative and fulfilling path. There is something about being with another in therapy that leaves me never quite the same as when I entered the session. As such, my work brings me life, just as I endeavour the same for my clients. If this is resonating with you, I encourage you to contact me for a free consultation call.

Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
I'm passionate about supporting your personal development, hand-in-hand with nature, in service of the earth.
Disconnection is a real threat to a meaningful life. And I see more and more people seeking meaning and connection in an increasingly disconnected world.
I help people like you connect with themselves, with the people in their lives and with the world around them.
I’ve worked with people from all walks of life all over the globe. Using a somatic, nature-based approach, I know how to help you navigate disconnection and become an embodied, more connected human.
If you're someone who's feeling out of place in your world, or you're in a relationship that's struggling, I can help. We'll combine the best of therapy & coaching to bring about transformative, lasting change.

Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
A warm welcome. I work with people from all backgrounds, across cultures and religions. The people I’ve met over the last three decades have influenced my way of working at least as much as my studies at university, in mystery schools and with alternative healing. I empower my clients to help themselves with practical wisdom for embodiment, so that transformation becomes a lasting, self-conducted process in daily life. Supporting inner stability and healthy navigation in this crazy world is as important to me as reflecting the truth of your spiritual being. I am known for good intuition, deep empathy and humour. My orientation in guiding you is through listening, listening to you and into the field of your life's situation. I will not fix you, simply because you do not need fixing. I will rather connect you with the possibilities of self-leadership and healing that are already in you. I discovered that healing follows facing and embracing what's in the depth of the inner shadow consciousness. Right from there, transformation happens from the darkness into the light, not by putting a pretend gloss over the dark spots. All the tools I use are in service of discovering, befriending and being exactly how you are. I invite you to embrace life as you are.
Contact me risk free, I offer up to 25 mins free intake (video) call.

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.
