I always aims to borrow from relevant counselling approaches in a way that best suits my clients and their experiences – whether Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Existential Therapy, Acceptance-Commitment Therapy or others – in a creative and down-to-earth way.

As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe that the therapeutic relationship between therapist & client is a crucial catalyst for positive change. With attributes such as warmth, empathy & emotional intelligence, I create a caring & non-judgmental space for clients to explore their issues. Drawing from my extensive experience, including specific expertise in working with the LGTBIQA+ community, gay males & addressing sex & relationship concerns, I help clients realise their capacity for inner peace & personal growth. I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs by utilising appropriate therapeutic modalities, fostering a safe & confidential environment for their healing journey.

Ms Margie Ireland
Ms Margie Ireland
Margie has a deep interest in Mental Health, largely due to losing her 69-year-old father to Mental Health difficulty in her teens. She then lost her brother who was also struggling. These events led to a strong interest in supporting Men – not only with building their sense of self-worth, but also their personal and professional potential. 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.
