Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
I'm Dabaco, a queer affirming relational psychotherapist and counsellor based in Sydney's inner west. I specialise in supporting clients from the LGBTQ+ community as well as those navigating alternate relating styles such as ethical non-monogamy and open relating. My therapy room is based in Glebe where I see individuals and couples as well as conducting sessions online via Zoom. Some common themes that I help my clients with are anxiety, sexuality, relationship dynamics, grief and addiction issues.

Emma Crook
Counsellor/Therapist, Diploma of Counselling
Emma brings a beautiful blend of professional expertise and genuine, heart-led warmth to her practice. Her passion for holistic wellness inspired her to step into the counselling space, driven by a deep desire to help others experience the same transformational growth she has seen firsthand.
Holding a Diploma of Counselling alongside qualifications in Lifestyle Coaching and Yoga Teaching, Emma seamlessly weaves these holistic skills together. She brings a wealth of hands-on experience to her work, dedicating herself to gently supporting both young people (ages 10-18+) and adults through their unique mental health journeys.
Often described by those around her as a "ray of sunshine," Emma has a natural gift for making people feel instantly at ease. When she isn't supporting clients, you’ll likely find her soaking up nature, saying yes to spontaneous adventures, and living and breathing all things wellness. She equally treasures the quiet moments - curling up on the couch with a good book, slowing down, and savouring the simple pleasures in life.

Oksana Pueschel
Counsellor/Therapist, Grad Dip Family Counselling, Cert NeurOptimal Neurofeedback
I use a variety of evidence-based tools and techniques to help you reconnect with your existing strengths and cultivate additional resources that support progress toward the changes you wish to make. Depending on specific needs, I draw from a number of therapeutic modalities, all incorporating a respectful, strengths-based, person-centred and recovery-oriented approach. My practice is grounded in developmental, trauma-informed and solution-focused therapy within a family systems theoretical model. I frequently call on creative interventions, mindfulness and somatic resources to align your mind / body / spirit connection and consider cultural respect essential to my therapeutic approach.

Robert Thompson
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, UKCP, MBACP.
The modern world can be a frantic place, one where demands are constant and space is limited. Therapy offers you a chance to pause and take stock, to become more aware of your feelings and to re-examine the choices you are making in a reflective and constructive way.
I aim to provide a supportive relationship within which you can safely explore and better understand yourself and your relationships. I take an active role in helping you investigate a broader range of options than at first may present themselves. Therapy invites you to expand the limits of your imagination. I wish to encourage confidence and a resilience in managing feelings of doubt or despair, and to help find a positive and affirming way ahead.

Dipak Jilka - Psychotherapist & Counsellor
Therapist, Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) – PACFA Reg. Clinical 26570
Holding a grounded stance of compassion, empathy, non-judgment and light-hearted curiosity, I provide a safe and reflective space for clients to explore and gently unpack their lives. While clients may initially seek support for concerns such as anger, anxiety, compulsive sexual behaviours, relationship difficulties, or other presenting issues, my experience has shown that the underlying dynamics are often more complex than they first appear.
My therapeutic ethos is centred on not viewing clients as problems to be fixed, but as individuals whose struggles deserve to be witnessed with respect, depth and thoughtful exploration. I work collaboratively, supporting clients to develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and clarity about how they wish to live.
I am of South Asian heritage, raised in London, and have lived in Sydney for over 30 years. Having straddled Eastern and Western cultures, including the particular nuances of my Indian background, I bring a culturally informed and integrative perspective to my practice. My earlier corporate career and lived experience of family life in Australia, alongside my own encounters with anxiety, stress and periods of low mood, have deepened my understanding of the pressures many clients face.
My personal journey toward greater meaning, purpose and self-understanding informs my belief in psychotherapy as a transformative process. I am committed to supporting clients in cultivating insight, living more consciously, and moving toward lives that feel authentic and self-directed.
If this approach resonates with you, I welcome the opportunity to connect.

Ballarat is Victoria's third-largest city, an inland regional centre with a proud gold rush heritage and a contemporary economy built on education, manufacturing, and regional services, and its mental health landscape reflects the particular challenges of a provincial city navigating the tension between its historical significance and the need to offer a modern, liveable community for young residents who might otherwise migrate to Melbourne. Federation University Australia is based in Ballarat and contributes to the local mental health workforce through its psychology programs, and Grampians Health provides public mental health services to the region. The surrounding agricultural communities create additional mental health demand for rural and farming populations, and Ballarat serves as a hub for mental health access across western Victoria. Common therapy concerns include regional and rural isolation, farming community stress, student mental health at Federation University, anxiety, depression, and the identity and belonging challenges of building a life in a regional city competing with the pull of major urban centres.
