Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
I work with men navigating stress, anger, grief, relationship difficulties, fatherhood and expectations about providing or coping. Sessions offer a place to put concerns into words, understand recurring responses and develop practical ways to communicate and seek support. We can also explore how culture and family expectations shape these experiences.

Tony O'Loughlin
Registered Psychotherapist, GradDip Psychotherapy, BA (Social Science), Trauma Informed Somatic Facilitator, PACFA member
I work with trauma, anxiety and relationship struggles, using a somatic approach that brings your body into the conversation, not just your mind. I draw on processwork psychotherapy, IFS and somatic therapy.
I offer online individual therapy and couples counselling. Together we work on healing trauma, settling your nervous system, and helping you feel more grounded and at home in yourself.

Dimitri Hawa
Psychologist, Psychologist-BA, BPsycSc (Hons), GradDipProfPsych
Support for men's issues may encompass a journey through historical and contemporary ideals of masculinity. The belief is that the longstanding and still relevant notion that healthy males develop when positive role models are present to provide the emotional support and nurturing that is required to assist males to personally grow and develop. Therapy is designed (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, to serve as a form of mentoring, aiding men in their emotional, spiritual, cognitive, psychological, and social development. This process includes learning how to navigate conflicts in a healthy manner, enhancing one's sense of self-worth and communication skills, and providing guidance for expressing emotions while managing problematic behaviors.
Call for a free consultation. Medicare rebated sessions (obtained from a GP called mental health care plan) and private health insurance rebates session available.
Dimitri's experience extends to conducting psychological assessments and offering counselling support to Victims of Crime through (VOCAT), clients associated with the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), Workcover clients, and those covered by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and has previously provided psychological support within prison settings.

Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
I have vast experience listening to many, many men's life stories. Thus I feel I have a good understanding of men's issues and how they can impact you when experiencing them. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment within your gender to restore balance, happiness and inner peace.
I can do this by using various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Mitchell Kovacs
Counsellor/Therapist, Level 2 Counsellor (ACA)
Being a male Therapist in our society I understand the expectations that are put on from people and also society as men to be a certain way or that self expression in any way is seen as weak. Because I went through the same issues myself before I become a Therapist. My job is to give you a space free of judgement and to treat you like any other person with feelings and emotions and help you through them.
