Alexina Baldini
Psychologist, B.B.Sc., G.D.A.C.P., M.Psych.(For.), F.A.P.S.
One of the roles that requires the most skill, we are often not trained to be parents until starting to think about having a family, and then it is often just focused on the giving birth process. We then see parents who may be reluctant to ask for support until their situation feels desperate and their children are demanding, clingy or displaying other challenging behaviours that prompt help-seeking. Our therapists provide supportive guidance to parents using a range of treatment modalities that include attachment-focused therapy and practical environmental analysis and change implementation.

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 peoples parenting stories. Thus I feel I have a good understanding of the common parenting problems and issues, and how they can impact you and your children when experiencing them. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment within your parenting 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.

Uri Bookman
Counsellor/Therapist, Trauma-Informed Relationship Counsellor, Therapeutic coach
Hi, I’m Uri Bookman — a trauma-informed relationship therapist, counsellor, and coach (PACFA 30041). Parenting can be both rewarding and challenging, often bringing stress, conflict, or different expectations between partners.
I work with parents to strengthen communication, build emotional resilience, and create a more supportive family environment. For separated parents, I also offer Mediation & Co-Parenting Support — a trauma-informed, collaborative pathway that helps reduce conflict and establish respectful, sustainable agreements.
Together, we’ll focus on tools that bring clarity, compassion, and calm into your parenting journey — whether you’re navigating everyday struggles or the complexity of co-parenting after separation.
If you’d like support in creating a stronger, more connected family life, I offer a free 15-minute chat to see if this feels like the right fit.

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

Adam Kreuzer
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Diploma of Counselling, Professional Certificate of Adolescent Counselling
Parenting can be challenging. It's not always the exciting, positive and happy experience that is portrayed in the movies. The birth of a child can be a deeply traumatic and stressful experience for many parents and these feelings can continue throughout the life of a parent. I provide safe, therapeutic support to parents as they work through their issues, problems or challenges related to parenting. Together, we come up with action plans to regain healthy control and build more effective relationships with your children.
