Emma O is an intimacy coach specializing in women’s pleasure and power. With qualifications in psychology, narrative therapy, craniosacral therapy and a long history of working with people and systems impacted by oppression and the “power-over” paradigm she holds exquisite space for the gentle unravelling of stories, patterns and projections that no longer serve.

“What I love is accompanying women on the journey of claiming themselves; their body, their pleasure and their power. The link between these 3 things might not seem obvious and indeed prioritizing pleasure in these times might seem like a frivolous pursuit. I’m not talking pleasure as an escape from the horrors of the world. I’m talking pleasure that brings us into delicious contact with our own beingness, our choice and ultimately our power.”

In session together with Emma you learn how to master the flow of your attention to shift away from what you don’t want, and to orient instead towards what you deeply (and maybe even secretly) long for. You unearth any resistance to what it is you desire in your life, your relationships and your world. You get to playfully wonder about the function and form of the resistance so that this life force can be an ally in your heroic quest for freedom and wholeness.

Emma’s approach is embodied and invitational above all else.

This work might feel resonant for you if you have a feeling that there’s more to life, more to you and your capacity for life, pleasure, deliciousness and ultimately your own power.
It might feel resonant if you find yourself in patterns of relating that you’re feeling ready to alchemize.
It might feel resonant for you if you want to learn how to reclaim your pleasure for yourself.
It might feel resonant for you if you’ve experienced consent violations and you want to learn how to feel safe in your body again.
You might already be pleasure literate and just want MORE! I’m here for it all.

Emma’s fee is $150 per session.

I believe that compassion and collaboration are central to all good therapy. So, when you work with me, you can expect to feel really understood, to be confident that the work we do together is going to meet your specific needs, and that we’ll go at a pace that works for you. Let’s work together to help you heal and grow.

My fee is $150 per 50-minute session.

As an integrative psychotherapist, Sally works collaboratively with clients to co-create a therapeutic container to explore their mental landscape, life experiences and aspirations. By tailoring therapy to meet the unique needs of each individual, Sally endeavours to create a safe, and empowering space for clients to come into deeper self-awareness, and gently move towards their goals.

At the heart of Sally’s approach is a deep appreciation for the intricacy and vastness of what it means to be human. She believes therapy is not a means to “fix problems”, but rather, a powerful instrument for meeting ourselves, understanding our histories, and through such insight, crafting widened narratives of possibility for our lives. Narratives that have the potential to enrich life with meaning, connection and fulfilment.

Sally’s work is informed by a diverse range of theories and passions, including attachment theory, existentialism, somatic experiencing, developmental psychology, philosophy, systems thinking, eastern practices and the creative arts.

Hi, I’m Kyle — an ACA registered relational psychotherapist, offering individual therapy. I believe healing is a deeply personal journey, one that often begins when we feel lost in a dark wood, unsure of the way forward. In many ways, I see my role as being like a companion and support in that forest — accompanying you, listening closely, and walking alongside you as you explore your experiences in a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space.

My practice and style of therapy are well suited to support individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma (including PTSD and complex PTSD), attachment challenges, and questions of self and identity. At the heart of my work is a belief in each person’s capacity for meaningful and lasting change by way of increased self-awareness, emotional understanding, and deeper relationships with one’s self and others.

Together, we may explore how your family of origin, early development, and social or cultural context have shaped your ways of coping, relating to others, and relating to yourself, and work toward developing new ways of being and connecting.

Importantly, I focus on working holistically, to support you in through the different expressions of your experience – emotionally, cognitively, relationally, and somatically. My practice is informed by attachment theory, psychodynamic perspectives, interpersonal neurobiology, and experiential approaches, alongside trauma-informed frameworks.

I also draw inspiration from existential philosophy, mythology, and explorations of war and violence, which deepen my understanding of the complexities of human suffering, resilience, and the ways we search for meaning in the face of challenge. These influences help me approach therapy with a nuanced appreciation for both the universality and uniqueness of the human experience, particularly in relation to trauma, loss, identity, and moral or existential struggles.

I have a particular interest in working with veterans from the armed forces, supporting them in navigating the unique challenges they may face following military service, alongside broader relational and personal concerns.

Alongside my professional training and research, my own experience of therapy has profoundly shaped my approach, reinforcing my belief in the value of investing in one’s own healing and the transformative potential of psychotherapy.

When not practicing or seeing clients, I enjoy hiking, exercising, fly fishing, reading, and spending time outdoors, as ways of restoring balance, engaging in reflection, and healing.

My fee is $140 per session, with some concession spaces available.

Auður’s approach to integrative psychotherapy is rooted in a deep understanding of the significance of human relationships in shaping our well-being.

I am a relational psychotherapist with a deep commitment to helping couples and individuals find their way back to secure connection, emotional clarity, and embodied presence. Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gestalt psychotherapy, somatic practices, and attachment theory, I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach that gently supports you to explore the patterns that keep you stuck—and the deeper longings beneath them.

Since 2017, I have specialised in working with couples to navigate disconnection, conflict, intimacy challenges, life transitions, and the complex terrain of parenting and neurodiversity. I see couples work not as a sign of failure, but as a courageous investment in the vitality of your relationship. Together, we explore how past attachment wounds shape present dynamics, and how expressing your core emotions—those tender hurts and longings that often get lost behind reactivity—can create new openings for closeness, safety, and healing.

My approach is grounded in the here-and-now, helping you become more aware of how you experience yourself and others in the moment. Gestalt therapy reminds us that insight alone is not enough—healing happens through embodied awareness, relational contact, and experimenting with new ways of being. I guide clients toward the integration of mind, body, and spirit, helping you move beyond old roles or survival strategies to discover a more authentic and connected self.

I bring warmth, humour, and deep respect to my work, drawing not only from clinical training but from my lived experience: becoming a parent in my mid-40s, navigating my own neurodiverse marriage, and committing to the path of therapy as both client and practitioner. I understand the vulnerability of this process, and I hold space with care and compassion.

I’m especially passionate about supporting couples to explore intimacy and sexuality—areas so often shaped by unspoken shame, trauma, or disconnection. I help partners rediscover their sensual vitality and the powerful, life-affirming energy that intimacy can offer when it’s rooted in trust and presence.

As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent person in a neurodiverse family system, I bring a nuanced understanding of how neurodivergence impacts relationships and emotional connection. I also draw on over 20 years of experience in mental health, community work, and the arts—fields that have enriched my appreciation for every individual I have the privilege to work with.

Alongside my clinical work, I am a long-time student of the Diamond Approach, a psycho-spiritual path that weaves together inquiry, presence, and self-realisation. This path continues to nourish both my personal and professional growth, and informs the way I support others in aligning with their truth.

I offer sessions in Naarm/Melbourne (Thornbury) and online. I welcome individuals and couples from all walks of life, including LGBTQIA+ clients, and work flexibly from Monday to Saturday.

Lee’s fees are

Individuals: $160 (business hours), and $190 (after hours and Saturdays) for a 50 minute session

I draw on extensive experience guiding individuals and groups through major life crossroads: career shifts, midlife transitions, elderhood, and serious health challenges. By integrating Western psychology and existential philosophy, I help clients craft a nuanced and meaningful therapeutic journey.

I believe psychotherapy is a deeply personal process that often begins with feelings of loss, confusion, or being stuck. Therapy is collaborative: together we create a safe space where curiosity, respect, and compassion allow us to explore relational patterns and personal history. In this space I support clients to acknowledge and honour their past, tend to their grief, and move forward.

I work with a wide range of clients on issues including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem, relational trauma, relationship skills, and boundary management. I specialise in working with highly sensitive people (HSPs), who are often deeply attuned to their surroundings and can become overwhelmed or emotionally drained. I have developed a tailored process to help HSPs improve self-awareness and self-care.

I am a registered clinical Gestalt psychotherapist and an accredited coach for Highly Sensitive People. I hold a master’s degree in Gestalt psychotherapy and additional training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, existential philosophy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, group dynamics, and myth and ritual

He has a passion for working with young people, addiction recovery, queer communities, and specialises in therapeutic models of care for psychosis and voice hearing. His approach to therapy is about building connection, collaboration, empathy, and understanding, whilst the client leads the way in their own journey. Afterall, therapy is about you as the expert in your own life, needs, and desires.

A session with Nathan will have all the foundations and philosophy of person centred approaches and a Gestalt exploration toward a sense of wholeness. He also draws from therapeutic frameworks to support behaviour change, processing of trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, addiction recovery, and goal directed models. Flexibility is so important, especially today when our lives have undergone so much change. Nathan provides flexible counselling options of: counselling rooms, online, phone, and outreach for a ‘walk and talk’ session at your local park.

His own experiences a gay man from rural Victoria finding pride in queer identity, youth homelessness, AOD recovery, and wellness journey, have granted him unique insight and empathy in the similar challenges of his clients. Having been in the seat crisis and experiencing psychotherapy for many years as a client, he knows what a daunting and heroic thing it is to share oneself with another. Asking for help and showing up for it can be one of the greatest things you can do for yourself and loved ones. You are 100% worth doing it for.

I am a relational gestalt psychotherapist. My approach supports people to explore, connect with and expand the parts of themselves that have felt hard to reach in some way, and to bring more of themselves to their life and relationships.

I work with curiosity and patience to help you make sense of your world and lived experience and experiment with new ways of being. Together we will explore the thoughts, feelings and sensations that sit just on the edge of your awareness and see what becomes possible when they are more clearly in view. This will look different for each client, but could include talking, enacting, drawing, moving …

I am sensitive to the lived experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community and aware of the diversity and complexity of these experiences. I am sex-positive and aim to create a space that is inclusive, non-judgemental and able to hold different lives and cultures. We will find this space together.

My practice is informed by a long interest in yoga (ashtanga vinyasa), meditation (insight/vipassana) and buddhism (mostly zen). I am interested in the spiritual journey and the existential and deeply personal questions this throws up – particularly when this intersects with being queer. Having worked in and around government for over 15 years, I am also interested in how we construct (and sometimes deconstruct) our ‘working selves’.

I offer long-term psychotherapy. Developing our relationship will be part of the process.

I’m a gestalt therapist who creates space for my clients to develop their awareness, authenticity, and aliveness. I work with individuals interested in medium- to long-term therapy.

I believe that our attempts to fix ourselves – to be someone different or better – tend to exacerbate our problems, and that true and lasting change is a result of our willingness to enter more wholeheartedly into who and what we already are.

My therapeutic approach is informed by my Zen practice. In fact, my hope, for both me and my clients, is that the therapeutic and the spiritual become thoroughly entangled and, ultimately, indistinguishable.

I do my best to be inclusive, to practice cultural humility, to work sensitively with LGBTIQA+ people, to be sex positive, and to recognise how power manifests in therapeutic relationships.

I’ve published over 50 journal articles, book chapters, and reports on topics such as psychotherapy, mental health, fatherhood, family life, and social theory. I was previously the Editor of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Journal of Australia (PACJA). I’m currently a member of the teaching faculty of Gestalt Therapy Australia and the Deputy Chair of the Victorian Association of Gestalt Practitioners.

As the head therapist at Northside Gestalt Therapy, Laura provides holistic and compassionate therapy through which her clients gain deep self-awareness and self-acceptance.

“There is nothing ‘wrong’ with you. Wellbeing is your birthright, but things happen in our lives that interrupt our connection to this. I work with clients to soften the patterns of resistance that are preventing wellbeing from flowing to them.”

Laura’s fee is $160 for a fifty-minute session.

Laura, a Somatic Psychotherapist, brings a deep understanding and interest in working with major life events and transitions, relationship challenges, grief, loss and death, personal and familial crises, chronic pain and psychosomatic symptoms, emotional regulation, identity & esteem challenges, anxiety, depression, eco/existential/spiritual concerns, attachment and developmental issues, into her practice. She uses a somatic approach to reduce stress and anxiety physiologically, changing the autonomic nervous system and discharging trauma through embodiment and somatic practices. Laura works to co-create a space of safety, compassion, and curiosity, supporting clients to explore and transform from their unique experiences and challenges.

Laura integrates somatic psychotherapy, counselling, yoga, embodiment, and bodywork to lead individuals on profound journeys of transformation. Her passion for somatic psychotherapy and creative expression movement stems from her own lived experience, where she confronted pain, shame, and trauma, once living outside her body due to a painful gynecological condition.

Navigating a tumultuous path marked by cultural conditioning and disordered behaviours, Laura embarked on a quest for healing, confronting burnout, overwhelm, and anxiety. This journey led her through a messy spiritual awakening, where she encountered both deception and wisdom, ultimately deciding to leave her job and immerse herself in somatics, psychotherapy, and philosophy.

Laura’s expertise encompasses trauma resolution, anxiety management, spiritual awakening support, and navigating intergenerational trauma, C-PTSD/PTSD, and nervous system regulation. She also has extensive experience working with dissociation, dysregulation, anxiety and trauma. Furthermore, Laura has facilitated various groups that empower women to reclaim their voice, expression, and connection to their bodies and selves.

Each session with Laura is meticulously tailored to address the individual’s unique concerns, needs, and goals, drawing upon her extensive and diverse training. Laura collaborates closely with clients, fostering an environment of trust and support to create more ease, possibility, agency, empowerment, vitality, joy, and resilience.

Her commitment to holistic healing is evident in her diverse studies from her Postgraduate Counselling & Psychotherapy degree accredited through PACFA and trained under renowned practitioners like Scott Lyons in Somatic Stress Release™ , Somatic Movement therapy, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, Embodiment teacher training, Non-Linear Movement training, and Body-Mind Centering® Somatic movement education. And currently completing her Somatic Experiencing® Professional Training 3 year training.

Fluent in navigating diverse cultures from her upbringing in 15 countries, Laura fosters a deep understanding and connection with individuals from various backgrounds and her South American roots. Living authentically and embracing imperfection and beauty with grace, she extends the privilege of her experience to empower others to reconnect with their innate capacity for alignment and wholeness.

Currently based in Melbourne, Australia, Laura is deeply committed to serving others on their healing journeys, specializing in Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, and Internal Family Systems, offering transformative tools that have shaped her path.

I am George (they/them) a Gestalt psychotherapist with a deep interest in embodiment and somatic practices.

I am particularly passionate about working with people living alternative lifestyles, including those who are queer, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, non-monogamous, sex workers as well as other therapists, social & mental health workers. With me, you will find acceptance and understanding. I am a queer and sex-positive therapist.

My approach is holistic and collaborative – exploring together, with curiosity, care and attention to what feels most alive for you. I offer a warm, compassionate and grounded space where you’re welcome just as you are.

In our sessions, we move at a pace that feels right for you, using mind and body awareness to explore what is happening for you in the present. Over time, this embodiment work supports you to connect with yourself more fully, identify your needs and wants, and make the changes you want in your life.

My style is warm and grounded in relational ecology. I believe that through awareness, we gain choice – and with that, the possibility of living fully and authentically.

Fees are $150 for a 50 minute session, with some concession spots available.

I am a relational psychotherapist with a deep commitment to helping couples and individuals find their way back to secure connection, emotional clarity, and embodied presence. Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gestalt psychotherapy, somatic practices, and attachment theory, I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach that gently supports you to explore the patterns that keep you stuck—and the deeper longings beneath them.

Since 2017, I have specialised in working with couples to navigate disconnection, conflict, intimacy challenges, life transitions, and the complex terrain of parenting and neurodiversity. I see couples work not as a sign of failure, but as a courageous investment in the vitality of your relationship. Together, we explore how past attachment wounds shape present dynamics, and how expressing your core emotions—those tender hurts and longings that often get lost behind reactivity—can create new openings for closeness, safety, and healing.

My approach is grounded in the here-and-now, helping you become more aware of how you experience yourself and others in the moment. Gestalt therapy reminds us that insight alone is not enough—healing happens through embodied awareness, relational contact, and experimenting with new ways of being. I guide clients toward the integration of mind, body, and spirit, helping you move beyond old roles or survival strategies to discover a more authentic and connected self.

I bring warmth, humour, and deep respect to my work, drawing not only from clinical training but from my lived experience: becoming a parent in my mid-40s, navigating my own neurodiverse marriage, and committing to the path of therapy as both client and practitioner. I understand the vulnerability of this process, and I hold space with care and compassion.

I’m especially passionate about supporting couples to explore intimacy and sexuality—areas so often shaped by unspoken shame, trauma, or disconnection. I help partners rediscover their sensual vitality and the powerful, life-affirming energy that intimacy can offer when it’s rooted in trust and presence.

As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent person in a neurodiverse family system, I bring a nuanced understanding of how neurodivergence impacts relationships and emotional connection. I also draw on over 20 years of experience in mental health, community work, and the arts—fields that have enriched my appreciation for every individual I have the privilege to work with.

Alongside my clinical work, I am a long-time student of the Diamond Approach, a psycho-spiritual path that weaves together inquiry, presence, and self-realisation. This path continues to nourish both my personal and professional growth, and informs the way I support others in aligning with their truth.

I offer sessions in Naarm/Melbourne (Thornbury) and online. I welcome individuals and couples from all walks of life, including LGBTQIA+ clients, and work flexibly from Monday to Saturday.

Lee’s fees are

Individuals: $160 (business hours), and $190 (after hours and Saturdays) for a 50 minute session
