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.

Brydan Xavier

At Brydan Xavier Psychology and Global Minds Psychology, based in Melbourne, I provide personalised, evidence-based mental health services with a focus on supporting adult men, the LGBT+ community, and neurodivergent clients. As a registered psychologist in Australia, I am gender- and neuro-affirming, working with clients on a range of issues, including sexual health and intimacy, trauma, identity, and more. I integrate approaches such as ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and both standard and 2.0 EMDR to empower clients and foster meaningful growth. Through a hybrid model of online and in-person sessions, I work with men across the globe (excl. the USA and Canada), offering accessible and culturally sensitive care tailored to individual needs.

Mr Travis Grogan

Hi, I’m Travis and I am a psychologist working from Sydney, Australia. I take a strengths-based approach and focus on building men’s sense of worth and resilience in today’s complex world. As a guy, I understand that masculinity and it’s associate roles have changed, leading us to question our value, and how to find a place for our natural strengths.

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.

Narelle Hudson

As a counsellor, I believe people are ultimately the experts on their own lives. I see my role as one to walk alongside clients & support them by: hearing their story, offering suggestions or new information & validating their strengths & resilience. My aim is to help clients feel heard, understood, validated and supported to be the best version of themselves possible. I understand one counselling model does not fit all as everyone is unique. I am a person-centred therapist; although I often incorporate other modalities, depending on client needs, which may include CBT, SFT, ACT, MI or EFT. I predominantly work in the areas of: grief and loss, suicide and bereavement, relationships, mental health and addictions.

Dr. Alla Demutska

I am an experienced clinical psychologist who can help you improve your psychological health and general wellbeing. I worked with a diverse range of clients in a number of settings, including private practice, primary mental health team, in-patient psychiatric unit, private psychiatric hospitals, university, and child and adolescent services. I have been providing individual and group-based therapy. I am trained in many different therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma focused, Mindfulness-based, Compassion focused therapies, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Remote therapy only.

Her interests include interior design, travel, photography and coffee.

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.

Miss Amber Barry

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.
