Caitlin is a Registered Counsellor completing a Bachelor of Counselling at Griffith University. She was a finalist in the ‘Head of School of Psychology 2023’ and received the Griffith Award for Academic Excellence three years in a row. Following a series of health issues, Caitlin noticed a gap in holistic and inclusive mental health support for those experiencing chronic health issues, which led to her leaving a career in journalism and pursuing qualifications based on her lifelong interest in counselling. Caitlin has previous experience in the community non-profit sector and within the Australian school system. Throughout her time in the non-profit sector, Caitlin gained a deeper understanding of working alongside those experiencing situational distress and LGBTQIA+ specific issues. From these experiences Caitlin understood the need for Trans and LGBQIA+ safe providers and became passionate about creating these safe and inclusive spaces with equal opportunities for mental health support. Caitlin has also developed a keen interest in supporting those moving through the transitional stages of relationship issues or endings utilising attachment-based theory. Caitlin’s personal philosophy of counselling practice is a holistic approach informed by intersectionality framework, ensuring mental health is looked at within a wider view, taking into consideration the effects of oppressive systems on the individual. Through this lens, Caitlin approaches her clients with empathy and genuineness, creating a non-judgemental space for clients to explore their experiences. One of her key values as a counsellor is maintaining a safe and supportive space while acting as a facilitator to ensure a dynamic of collaboration rather than hierarchical expertise. Stemming from the belief that the client is the expert of their story, Caitlin provides a facilitation of reflection and support with the contribution of tools, to assist with further understanding and exploration of self. Using several modern and post-modern therapy modalities (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Attachment theory), Caitlin works to provide the most evidence-based care for her clients. On a personal front; Caitlin loves books, podcasts, community spaces, and exploring new cultures. You can usually find her cozied up with a fiction book and a cup of tea outside of the therapy room.

My approach is highly collaborative and trauma-informed; I work together with clients and their families to develop personalised treatment plans that respect and incorporate their unique perspectives and experiences within an environment that is safe and supportive. Additionally, I am dedicated to being neurodivergence affirming, recognizing and valuing the diverse ways in which brains can function and advocating for approaches that honour neurodivergent experiences. My practice is grounded in evidence-based techniques, utilising strategies and interventions backed by research to support clients in achieving their therapeutic goals. As a trained Circle of Security International Parenting facilitator, I integrate attachment theory into all aspects of my practice, emphasizing the importance of secure parent-child relationships and using attachment-based strategies to foster emotional security and resilience.

Nikita works with adults and adolescents. She creates an authentic, accepting, and non-judgmental therapeutic space where clients feel safe to unpack their difficulties. Nikita believes building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to facilitating meaningful progress. Complementing the therapeutic relationship, her approach to treatment is individualised and person-centred. She does not believe in a 'one-size fits all' approach to therapy. Rather, each case is approached with sensitivity and adaptability and Nikita draws upon an array of evidence-based therapeutic modalities that best suit the client's needs. As a multicultural Australian, Nikita appreciates the unique challenges and strengths inherent in different cultures and how this interacts with the individual sense of self. She takes great enjoyment in supporting individuals from varied cultural backgrounds, including First Nations people. She has a wealth of experience supporting individuals and groups of various ages, cultural backgrounds, and socioeconomic status. Her recent role supporting participants of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) highlights her ability to communicate effectively with individuals of varying ages and cognitive abilities.
