Cherry Kura

Psychologist

Cherry offers a warm, compassionate and collaborative therapeutic space where clients can explore their inner world, relationships and lived experiences with curiosity and care. She feels especially drawn to the collective aspects of therapy - how the work we do for ourselves can also shape how we show up with accountability and compassion toward one another. Her approach is holistic, intersectional and relational, drawing on evidence-based modalities while remaining grounded in culturally inclusive practice. Cherry’s clinical experience spans private practice and non-government organisations across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. She also facilitates mindfulness workshops and has previously led wellbeing groups and support spaces for individuals experiencing social and general anxiety. Through these experiences, she became especially interested in - and moved by - supporting clients who are navigating the integration of their cultural identity, values and systems alongside their current lived experience. Her therapeutic work cares for both internal support - such as regulating distress and making sense of difficult or impactful life experiences - as well as relational growth, including improving communication, understanding relationship patterns, building assertiveness or learning how to express needs more clearly. Cherry believes the purpose of therapy is unique to each person. At times, it may offer grounding, support, and practical tools to navigate challenging periods; at other times, it may create space to explore identity, intergenerational and relationship patterns, or family dynamics. Her approach is attuned to what you find most impactful and meaningful, while also bringing humour and joy within the therapeutic process.

Jacquie Ward

Psychologist

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 Samiotis

Psychologist

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. This role included providing therapeutic support to individuals, alongside education and training to the families and support teams of clients with neurodevelopmental disabilities and complex psychosocial disabilities, such as schizophrenia, personality disorders, and addiction. Nikita is also a registered work development order (WDO) sponsor. On a personal note, Nikita loves music, animals, nature, travel, and spending time with loved ones.
