Psychologist, Doctor of Clinical Psychology, Master of Science, Bachelor of Arts (Psych. Hons.)
Therapy that gets the real you—mess and all.
At The Inner Collective, we know life doesn’t follow a script. That’s why we offer therapy that makes room for the full you—your culture, your neurotype, your story, your struggles. You don’t need to be “fixed” to deserve support. Our team of warm, down-to-earth psychologists offers thoughtful, evidence-based care that’s neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. If you’re looking for real connection, practical support, and a space where you can just be human—you’re in the right place.

Mindnest Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Couns
Seeking support can feel daunting, especially when you are overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. At Mindnest Counselling in Illawong, I offer warm, practical and trauma-informed counselling for individuals, couples, children, teens and families across the Sutherland Shire, Sydney and online throughout Australia.
I support clients experiencing anxiety, stress, ADHD, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, trauma-related concerns and major life transitions. Sessions are tailored to your needs and pace, helping you feel heard, understood and supported while building practical tools for everyday life.
My background is a little different from many counsellors. Before opening Mindnest Counselling, I worked across law enforcement, the legal sector, crisis response, child protection and community services, supporting people through complex and high-pressure situations. This shaped the way I work — with compassion, calmness, practicality and respect for what people carry.
In-person sessions are available in Illawong, and online counselling is available Australia-wide. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can ask questions and see whether Mindnest Counselling feels like the right fit.

Oksana Pueschel
Marriage and Family Therapist, Grad Dip Family Counselling
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.
19 Years Experience
Online in Melbourne, VIC Victoria
Melbourne has a well-established therapy culture and one of Australia's highest rates of therapist availability per capita, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, and schema therapy. The city's high cost of living and competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing burnout, perfectionism, and relationship stress among its large young professional population. Melbourne's diverse migrant communities — including large South Asian, East Asian, and African populations — mean cultural competence and multilingual therapy are in consistent demand. The Royal Melbourne Hospital and Alfred Health provide institutional mental health resources alongside the city's extensive private and community-based therapy network.
