Mary Rose Dias
Therapist, MSc, BA, EMCC Senior Practitioner, Certified iRest Meditation Teacher
I believe that meaningful wellbeing isn't simply about feeling happy or managing life's challenges; it's about developing a deeper relationship with yourself and finding ways to live with greater authenticity, purpose and ease.
I work with thoughtful, capable people who may be navigating anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, life transitions or a sense of disconnection, helping them slow down, gain perspective and reconnect with what matters most.
My approach is warm, compassionate and collaborative. I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, supported and encouraged to explore your experiences without judgement. Together, we draw on evidence-informed approaches and practical tools to help you develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
I bring both professional training and a genuine appreciation for the complexities of being human to my work. I believe that lasting change often begins not with trying to become someone different, but with learning to meet yourself, and your life, in a new way.

Prue Keenan
Counsellor/Therapist, Graduate Diploma of Holistic Counselling
I believe all parts of us are continually giving us useful signs and messages (be it subtle to very clear!) that help us gain meaningfulness and insight into whatever we're struggling with. I support you to bring in CURIOSITY, compassion, CREATIVITY and awareness to discover what's in the way, causing the struggle.
I help you integrate your learnings into everyday life and relationships. This process is not only a catalyst to heal wounded parts within, but a path for inner FREEDOM and WELLBEiNG.

Oksana Pueschel
Counsellor/Therapist, Grad Dip Family Counselling, Cert NeurOptimal Neurofeedback
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.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
My name is Shareen Birges & I am a social worker who specialises in online counselling. I have been practicing for over 15 years & as a result, have a broad range of experience. I have worked with adolescents & their families, adults & couples. I specialise in the care of people with cancer and chronic illness, mental health, dual diagnosis/comorbidity, trauma background (including sexual abuse/assault & childhood abuse and trauma) & people with offending behaviour & people living with BPD. Due to my extensive experience working with adolescents and young people, I have developed an ability to work closely with families & other professionals, whilst keeping the boundary of privacy & confidentiality. I believe I am approachable & create a good balance between challenging clients & allowing their therapy to flow at a pace that feel comfortable to them.

Suzanne
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns
I offer a steady, compassionate presence as we explore your inner world together, getting to know the parts of you that have worked hard to keep you safe, and gently uncovering the deeper patterns that may have shaped how you move through life.
My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic approaches, which means we work with both the mind and the body. Together, we create the safety and space needed to turn toward what's happening inside — with curiosity rather than judgment.
Many of the people I work with are navigating self-doubt, relationship challenges, stress, or long-held emotional patterns — including the weight of generational burdens carried quietly over the years. Whether you're coming as an individual or as a couple, I honour the courage it takes to begin this work.
I work with: Adults (individuals) and couples
Areas of focus: Inner critic, self-doubt, relationship challenges, stress, generational trauma, emotional patterns
