Dimitri Hawa
Psychologist, Psychologist-BA, BPsycSc (Hons), GradDipProfPsych
Therapy focuses on the provision of a nurturing and empathetic space for individuals to delve into the underlying sources and root causes of their anxieties. Utilising evidence-based techniques (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, clients are empowered to develop practical coping skills for anxiety management and fear modification. Whether the focus is on generalised anxiety, trauma-related concerns, specific phobias, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, social anxiety, or other anxiety-related challenges, the primary objective is to help clients reduce distress and enhance emotional well-being. The therapeutic approach is collaborative, aiming to cultivate resilience and instill a renewed sense of overall well-being in clients.

Anne-Lynn Teoh
Registered Psychotherapist, MoPC, BPsych (Hons), B.Sc. (Psych)
Anxiety often has a relational history: learning early to stay alert to other people's moods, to please or to expect that your needs will be too much. I work with anxiety as it shows up in how you relate, including overthinking, people-pleasing, and fear of conflict or being left. Using RLT, IFS, somatic and attachment-informed approaches, we get to know the adaptive parts of you that are working hard to keep you safe, and build steadier ways of relating to yourself and others.

Thomas Reiner Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Diploma of Counselling (AIPC)
Anxiety and fear can have different levels of impact on somebody's life. My approach is to explore the types of impact and ways in which this can be managed. At a deeper level, we will look at where the anxiety or fear might come from and how they are triggered. The aim is not to get rid of fear and anxiety altogether, but to reduce them to a tolerable level and redirect them into situations where they have a purpose.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Anxiety can feel like your mind and body are working against you — racing thoughts, a tight chest, a sense that something's always about to go wrong. If you're tired of feeling on edge, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of worry, let's work together to help you find steadier ground.
The first step in working with anxiety is understanding that your nervous system isn't broken — it's doing its best to protect you, even when that protection no longer serves you. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore where your anxiety comes from, both in your thoughts and in your body, and build tools that actually fit your life. My approach combines somatic awareness, self-compassion, and practical strategies, helping you feel more grounded, present, and in control.
You don't have to white-knuckle your way through this. Let's take the first step toward calm and a more spacious way of living.

Rita El Alaoui
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapy diploma, reiki master diploma.
Anxiety feels like living in a storm, your heart races, your mind spirals, and your body feels constantly on edge. You know the fear is irrational, but you can't seem to switch it off. You're tired of pretending to be okay.
Online hypnotherapy offers a gentle path back to calm. In a safe, virtual space, we bypass the overthinking conscious mind and speak directly to the part of you that needs safety. We will untangle the knots of fear and replace the alarm bells with a deep, natural sense of peace.
You deserve to breathe easy again.

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 can also utilise various assessments to measure the severity of a specific problem, as well as determining your progress within therapy. I can provide a copy of these for your doctor to assist you further where requested.
I am able to utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the underlying and often subconscious cause. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties from fear or anxiety to restore balance, happiness and inner peace with 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, PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), Relationship & Couples Counsellor, Certified Coach
As a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), I work with thoughtful, capable adults who may understand their anxiety intellectually yet still find themselves reacting when triggered. Together, we look beneath the anxiety to understand the patterns, triggers and underlying dynamics driving it. Rather than only managing symptoms, the work develops greater awareness and capacity to respond differently, creating more clarity, choice and inner space.
