Dash completed his Bachelor of Counselling and Psychotherapy at Ikon Institute. The first phase of therapy with Dash focuses on getting to know each other, hearing about your life history, and getting clear on a mutually agreed upon set of focuses. Sessions progressively work towards pathways of change and repair; this can involve resolving emotional wounds, forging self-esteem, overcoming shame, deepening relationships, re-evaluating thoughts, facing fears, psycho-education, imaginative visualisation, building self-understanding, and beyond. Treatment is tailored for the individual, which can mean some trial and error before finding what best works for you. Sometimes a session is simply getting things off your chest, finding relief in unpacking your stories and personal experience with someone who cares.

Dash’s key areas of interest include childhood neglect, meaning and purpose, authenticity, self-esteem, friendship, romantic relating, PTSD, creativity, spirituality, activism, and nature-connection.

Whether you’re inhabiting a dark place in life, or are simply curious to explore and further develop yourself in this one precious life, please don’t hesitate to reach out for a free consultation.
Dash’s fee is $130 per session

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 am an ACA registered integrative psychotherapist, and have completed a Bachelors Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from The Ikon Institute of Australia.

My approach to therapy is warm and person-centred, holding the unique nature and rich history of each client at the forefront of our work together. I work with clients to create a collaborative, explorative, and relational container through which understanding, compassion, and insight may be fostered. At the core of my therapeutic approach is a deep sense of positive regard, and a strong belief in each individual’s capacity for lasting and meaningful change. I endeavour to deliver an attuned and safe therapeutic encounter, one which restores connection to self, other, and the world in which we live.

I am deeply interested in and impassioned by Psychotherapy. I see it as both a means of understanding our history and all that we hold from our past, whilst contacting and engaging all of our future potentialities, all waiting to be known, held, and met. I think of the engagement in therapy as an act of willingness to take this step towards a deeper knowing and understanding of one’s self. Indeed, I believe therapy is a choice – in many respects, I feel the decision to start therapy to be the first (and potentially, most potent) reclamation of agency, the restoration of a hope in one’s capacity to find freedom, and wholeness.

In my work as a therapist, I draw upon a variety of evidence based and trauma-informed models of practice, including Psychodynamic theories, Attachment theory, Existentialism, Developmental Psychology, and Sensorimotor and Somatic-based Trauma theories. I work with individuals of all ages and presentations, ranging from anxiety, depression, developmental neglect and trauma, relationship challenges, attachment based issues, and emotional regulation. More specifically, I have a particular interest in working with veterans from the armed forces, and helping with the unique challenges they face following military service.

If any of this resonates with you, I encourage you to reach out, and see if working together feels right.

My fee is $120 per session, with some concession spaces available.
