Dimitri Hawa
Psychologist, Psychologist-BA, BPsycSc (Hons), GradDipProfPsych
Stress is an everyday challenge, and the skill of effectively managing stress holds the potential to significantly enhance one's quality of life. Within a therapeutic context, clients are encouraged to explore the intricacies of their stressors, comprehensively understanding their sources and effects. By implementing evidence-based strategies, (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 can develop and refine effective coping mechanisms, ultimately boosting their resilience and regaining a profound sense of control over their lives. This process empowers individuals to not only mitigate stress but also to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Call for a free consultation. Medicare rebated sessions (obtained from a GP called mental health care plan) and private health insurance rebates session available.
Dimitri's experience extends to conducting psychological assessments and offering counselling support to Victims of Crime through (VOCAT), clients associated with the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), Workcover clients, and those covered by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and has previously provided psychological support within prison settings.

Thomas Reiner Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Diploma of Counselling (AIPC)
Stress can manifest in many different ways. I help my clients to explore these manifestations carefully before looking at ways to manage them. We will explore the distinction between stress associated with working life and life style, and stress that might have deeper origins such as the real and imagined expectations from others in our life.

Uri Bookman
Counsellor/Therapist, PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), Relationship & Couples Counsellor, Certified Coach
As a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), I work with people experiencing stress, overwhelm and persistent internal pressure. Rather than treating stress only as having too much to do, we explore patterns around responsibility, perfectionism, boundaries, self-worth and how you respond under pressure. The aim is not simply to cope better, but to develop greater awareness, choice and capacity to meet life without repeatedly losing yourself in it.

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.
Stress and worries can affect our daily life with huge impact and take up so much of our time affecting our feeling of happiness and contentment with life. 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 stress and worry 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.

Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
Stress often shows up when different parts of you are pulling in opposite directions—one part pushing to keep everything under control, another worrying about what might go wrong, and others feeling worn down by the pressure. These inner struggles can leave you exhausted and disconnected from yourself and those around you. We can get to know these parts with compassion, helping them soften so you can access more calm, clarity, and balance. You don’t have to manage all this on your own—I’m here to support you in finding steadier ground

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Chronic stress can leave you running on empty, wired, exhausted, and never quite able to switch off. If stress has become your baseline instead of the exception, let's work together to help you find a more sustainable way of living.
The first step in working with stress is understanding that your body's stress response isn't a malfunction. It's doing exactly what it's designed to do, just too often and for too long. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore your specific stressors and build a toolkit: somatic, practical, and emotional that actually fits your life. My approach centres self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and sustainable balance.
You don't have to keep running on empty. Let's take the first step toward feeling more grounded and at ease.

Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
A certain amount of stress is necessary to motivate us in various life tasks. High levels of stress however wreaks havoc on our emotional, mental and physical health. And when stress is maintained at high levels over long periods of time it can lead to nervous system overwhelm and burn-out. You don't want to put your body or your mind through that. I should know, I've been there. And I can say with conviction that nothing in life is worth it.
Our work together involves co-creating a space where you can relax in the moment. In addition to this we develop strategies that will support you to deal with stress in your day-to-day life.
