Find a Therapist

Mr Christopher James

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. Clients say they choose me because I seem kind & calm.

Calum Ramsay

Everyone struggles with something. We can’t control every thought, feeling, or body sensation we have, but we can find ways to create balance and choice in our lives. In sessions, you can expect to develop skills to help you understand yourself with compassion, while keeping “who you are” at the centre of the process.
I prioritize developing clarity, trust, and respect in our work, so that counselling can act as a stabilizing and supportive presence in your life. I work from an integrative approach, drawing from a selection of research-supported theories like ACT, EFIT, and narrative therapy. My work is also informed by the 12 years I worked in international and Olympic rugby, helping athletes make difficult decisions under pressure.

Ms Caroline Cavanagh

I practice primarily with a person-centred, strength-based approach, valuing each client as an individual on a unique journey. I walk with my client, meeting them in their pain, and begin discovering their strengths, empowering them, & finding ways they can move forward to a happier life.

I also utilize other counselling methodologies, such as CBT, narrative therapy, psychoeducation, compassion therapy, art therapy, bibliotherapy, etc, as needs arise. Whatever will help my client.

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.
