Ms Kerrie Baker

I am a person centered Therapist who has worked predominantly with male clients for the past 3.5 years living with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and PTSD and also work with men suffering from addiction. I believe in a holistic approach, treating the whole person, not just the condition they present with, as mental health and addiction affects our work, our relationships and most importantly our self esteem. I offer 1:1 counselling via zoom or face time and use methods such as schema therapy. I also offer sessions for clients family and friends to provide education to them about how they can support their loved one with mental health issues or addiction. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

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.
