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.
Mr Christopher James
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.
