Michael Brew
Counsellor/Therapist, Dip(Community Services), Dip(Mental Health)
Parenting can be hard, we don't always have the answers, and for some, children's individual challenges, can push the parental limits.
I will help you understand what it is that's trigging your parental shutdown, and support you to find a more positive approach in guiding and supporting your child/ren to grow in to emotionally healthy adults.

Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
Being a dad can bring pressures that few people talk about. Balancing work, family, and your own well-being can feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to lose sight of yourself in the process. I offer a space to sort through the stress, expectations, and emotions that come with fatherhood, without judgment. You don’t have to navigate these challenges on your own—I’m here to support you in finding clarity, balance, and a stronger sense of yourself as both a man and a parent

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.
