Courtney Pearson
Courtney Pearson
Are you feeling overwhelmed and alone? Are you struggling to form meaningful connections with others? Are the traditional ‘rules’ of masculinity preventing you from living your best life? I am a counsellor and psychotherapist who specialises in men’s issues. I use a trauma-informed approach to support men navigate confusing emotions, depression, explore interpersonal trauma, break unhealthy relationship patterns, loneliness, embrace their strengths, forgive their mistakes, and discover their own unique identity.
My mission is to provide a nurturing service that helps to break down social stigma and empower men to seek the mental and emotional help they deserve.

In a previous life Margie trained as a performer (but realised she could neither sing or act!), and still draws on this background when running workshops and presentations. A self-described fitness fanatic, out of hours Margie enjoys spin cycling, yoga, mindfulness, writing and mystery documentaries.

Mr. Matthew Austin
Mr. Matthew Austin
Caring & non-judgemental counselling for LGBTQIA+ folk. You may have been feeling bad about yourself and have noticed that you have been acting in inauthentic ways. Perhaps you are worried others won’t accept the real you. It’s been difficult to share your self-critical thoughts with others. I help LGBTQIA+ folk with non-judgmental and caring space to explore and better understand their distress. By creating a safe space between us we can begin to understand how feelings of shame have been shaped by trauma in relationships. Through increased self-understanding, you can connect with a kinder version of yourself and get clear about where you hustle for self-worth and connection.
