Therapists in Australia

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.

Ms. Tammy Stander
Ms. Tammy Stander
I am a trauma-informed clinical psychotherapist. I work primarily in the areas of trauma, mental health and addiction supporting individuals and their loved ones. I seek to create a deeper awareness of self and enhance connection with others. By understanding our life’s journey and what shapes it, we can move towards a balanced relationship with the world and the connections it brings. I draw on techniques from existential and strengths-based therapies, attachment theory, EMDR, mindfulness practices and somatic therapies. My work is person-centred, collaborative, and experiential, focussing on reconnecting body and mind and supporting you to live a fulfilling life.
