Tara Green

Counsellor
I am a PACFA registered clinical practitioner and supervisor. I have been in private practice as a psychotherapist and counsellor for over 25 years ago and have worked from a trauma-informed perspective throughout this time.
Most of the people who come to work with me have suffered abuse (verbal, physical, sexual, psychological) and/or neglect (physical, emotional) in childhood as well as adulthood. Each client’s story is unique and for each person the impact of these experiences in their lives is different and personal. The common element is the pain and suffering resulting from trauma.
I work in collaboration with my clients, piecing together the impacts that trauma experiences have on everyday life as we begin the work of remembering, expressing, making sense of, and integrating these experiences. The processes I use support clients to deal more effectively with trauma symptoms that interrupt normal everyday functioning.
Talking about or thinking about trauma can be distressing and sometimes overwhelming, so sessions incorporate the practice of grounding and calming skills as we gently work with the trauma.
I offer counselling (usually shorter term) and psychotherapy (longer term for more in-depth exploration). I work with both the conscious and unconscious content of the psyche. My approach is transpersonal. This is a holistic approach that includes the physical, emotional, psychological and deeper spiritual aspects of being human if and when they arise in the therapeutic process.
I also offer sandplay/symbol therapy, a modality based on depth psychology that can gently and yet powerfully support the unconscious content of the psyche to become conscious and lead a client to reconnect with their own inner voice and inner resilience.
The journey of trauma recovery and healing is intimate and personal. On a professional level I feel privileged to share the road of my client’s journey. On a personal level, complex trauma has touched my own life and those around me. This work is deeply important to me.

Ms Noula Diamantopoulos

Counsellor
There is NOTHING ORDINARY when we connect and together travel along your path. There is always a way to unravel whatever is upsetting you or disrupting you or disturbing you. Once we get to know each other, you will realise just that. That unraveling is possible and it's easier when someone else holds one side of the entanglement. Whatever that entanglement might be. I work with a diverse range of clients who have anxiety through to complex PTSD. Some of the therapeutic tools I bring with me are Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting (BSP) and somatic trauma informed practices.

On the lighter scale, I provide coaching sessions drawing from a positive psychology perspective with neuroscience, eastern and western philosophy. I work with artists and people who are seeking deeper sense of self and who wish to explore who they might be without their 'triggers'.

As your coach we enter a collaborative journey to find the greater being of you.

Ms Patricia Carroll

Psychologist
Trish is a Registered Psychologist who is committed to a client-centred, collaborative and strengths-based approach to treatment. Trish works with a diverse range of clients, both individually and in groups, to provide a safe and supportive space to discuss any concerns and/or difficulties.

Trish works with adults of all ages to provide psychological support and trauma informed treatment for a range of issues, including:

- grief, loss and bereavement;
- uniquely lived experience of trauma;
- anxiety, depression and stress;
- life transitions;
- losses and challenges of ageing;
- health and capacity challenges; and
- work-related concerns;

Trish’s particular area of expertise includes providing psychological support and interventions for older adults and their families in diverse circumstances related to the psychological challenges of ageing, including:

- treatment for past (re-lived) experiences of trauma,
- elder life transitions and their capacity to trigger past trauma;
- the lived experience of health and capacity challenges;
- transitioning to later stages of life and/or residential aged care;
- living with dementia and/or other degenerative conditions (including younger onset);
- challenges and trauma of elder care; and
- the uniquely lived experience of anticipatory grief and bereavement.

Trish understands that a diagnosis of chronic illness involves multiple losses, transitions and stressors in all dimensions of an older adult’s life, with significant impact on psychological wellbeing for older adults and their family/loved ones.

She provides psychological support and trauma informed interventions for all members of a family impacted by these challenges and circumstances, and where appropriate can highlight strategies to focus on the essence of the individual, as opposed to the transformations which can occur when living with chronic illness, including dementia or another degenerative illness.

Complementing this experience, Trish also has over 13 years of experience in providing employee assistance (EAP) services for employees in a range of industries, professions, occupations and life circumstances.
