Mrs Susan Dawson

Counsellor
At the Emotional Wellbeing Centre, I offer you a safe non judgemental place to assist you to “get better”, move out of pain, and be more of who you really are. I am a qualified Somatic Psychotherapist and Counsellor, working holistically with you as a whole person. My Masters research (Vic Uni 1999) demonstrated the effectiveness of some of the approaches I offer.

My clients choose me when they feel they “need to do something” about reclaiming their emotional wellbeing in response to issues of overwhelm, pain, stress, depression, anxiety and trauma, grief and loss, pre and post birth support, assistance with relationship issues, self-esteem and pain management. In this I offer you my interest, experience and passionate commitment.

In my private practice of more than 25 years, I offer a psycho education and integrative body-mind approach to healing and well-being for the specific individual issues you bring.

I work holistically and ethically with a broad range of clients, including clients from the LGBTI community.

My training and experience in many body-mind oriented healing approaches has demonstrated to me that a somatic and integrative approach enables a better understanding of the underlying “story”and associated symptoms, both consciously and at the non conscious level.

Prior to this, I worked for many years as a nurse and midwife – including supporting birthing families in labour wards and birthing suites. My goal was to empower families and support a safe and positive outcome. Participating in such life changing events, I experienced the reality of how the body, mind and emotions interact. – and how trauma, grief and loss impact the whole body-mind complex.

Responding to parents who had suffered a stillbirth or neonatal death, I led the implementation of new more caring protocols at my workplace. These protocols have become common practice in hospitals today.

I am committed to providing the most current approach to care and support for my clients.

As well, I continue my own growth as a person and as a practitioner by continuing professional development and professional supervision, in compliance with or exceeding the requirements of those professional bodies of which I am a member.

Ms Tracey Maher

Psychologist
I have dedicated my professional career to providing the highest quality of psychology services for adults. I specialise in cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and utilise other therapies, such as EMDR, drawing on my vast experience and professional training to match the appropriate treatment with each individual. I have been providing trauma-informed therapy with clients since the beginning of my professional career and have worked with clients that have experienced abuse or other traumas. I find it extremely challenging but rewarding work, to work with clients to affect significant positive change. I regular attend trauma-related professional development training and activities which enables me to keep up to date with the latest research and to grown my professional network of other trauma-informed health providers. I established my practice at a multi-disciplinary health centre in 2007 and enjoy seeing my clients in my room or if needed, via videoconference.

Veronik Verkest

Counsellor
I work in private practice with individuals impacted by unresolved trauma as a Contemporary Somatic Psychotherapist - registered with PACFA.

This means that together with you as the client, we work as a team to understand, illuminate and transform unresolved trauma that is held within the body's nervous system. Trauma when not resolved means we operate largely from a fight-flight or freeze state - a reactive rather than responsive state. Through deeply listening and attuning to the mind-body - my clients report to move to feeling safe, regulate emotions within a tolerable window and in a healthy manner. We move focus from reliving the past to being more at peace in the present.

I am trained in self-psychology/intersubjectivity and mindfulness.

My work is grounded in the latest research in neurobiology, trauma theory, developmental and attachment theory. I hold a Masters in Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy, a Diploma of Contemporary Somatic Psychotherapy, B.Sc. (Hons I in Biochemistry) and MBA.
As volunteered in the after-hours counselling program at ACON. Prior to becoming a counsellor/psychotherapist, I worked in the corporate world.
As a migrant I am curious about different cultures, and the impact of this on our sense of self.

Mrs Shivani Mittal

Counsellor
As a Clinical PACFA Member originally from India and now based in Australia, my personal journey deeply enriches my professional practice. I've been successfully running my private practice for over four years, a testament to my commitment and expertise in the field. Growing up in a close-knit joint family provided me with a profound understanding of how cultural influences shape relationships, mental health, and emotional well-being.

My life experiences, including navigating the transitions of love, marriage, and parenthood, the profound grief of losing close relatives and family members passing away, and my own experience as an immigrant, have cultivated a deep, empathetic perspective on the struggles my clients face. Additionally, having personally navigated the complexities of childhood trauma, I bring a firsthand understanding to a client's trauma story, fostering a truly authentic connection and a deeper level of empathy. Now raising a young family, I also grasp the emotional complexities of balancing personal and family needs, cultural expectations, and significant life transitions.

I provide trauma-informed therapeutic support from a thoughtfully designed home office, where client safety and comfort are paramount. The practice features a separate entry and exit, ensuring a private, quiet, and confidential environment that empowers clients with a sense of control and security. I am committed to a collaborative approach, working hand-in-hand with clients to co-create their unique healing path.

A crucial aspect of my practice involves a meticulous process, particularly in initial sessions or through provided references, to understand individual sensitivities and proactively identify anything that could be re-triggering. This proactive care, combined with my experience supporting individuals through Griefline and as a community counsellor with ADRA Blacktown assisting homeless and victim clients, underpins my holistic and empathetic approach to therapy.
