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.

Irene Valis
Counsellor/Therapist, Gestalt Psychotherapist, PACFA Certified Counsellor, Life Coach
I am a PACFA certified counsellor and Gestalt psychotherapist based in Sydney, Australia. My specialty is working with women who are experiencing anxiety, stuckness or emotional dysregulation and who are ready to begin to understand themselves and their needs; and in turn cultivate greater calm, vitality and ease both in their body and in their lives.
I blend Gestalt Therapy, Polyvagal Theory and parts work to provide a holistic, relational, integrated approach to healing, growth and change.
Through my own experience navigating life as a devoted wife and mother; I understand the complexities and challenges that come with meeting the needs of others whilst also learning to identify, articulate and meet my own.
I learned to do so with the support of a kind, compassionate, resonate therapist. It is now my privilege to pass on the flame and provide other women with a safe space to feel heard and be seen and I love nothing more than to guide women on a powerful and life-changing journey towards self-acceptance, self-love and self-empowerment.
I offer free 15 minute connection calls so I can learn more about what you are experiencing and answer any questions you may have to ensure we are a right fit for each other.

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.

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
