Jill Giannios(She/her)

Psychologist

I work with people who are often carrying long standing emotional wounds — perhaps shaped by difficult early experiences, painful relationship patterns, or trauma that still lingers in the present. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their true selves and their relationships. They may be repeating patterns they don’t fully understand but long to change. My therapeutic style is relational, collaborative, and warm. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself becomes the vehicle for transformation. It is here we can begin to explore your emotional world with honesty and compassion. Together, we uncover the unmet needs beneath old patterns, while strengthening the inner resources and self-knowledge. At the heart of my work is the belief that no matter how entrenched a pattern may feel, healing is possible. I want to support my clients in the process and challenges of change . Therapy is not just about relieving symptoms; it’s about creating a life that feels more authentic, connected, and meaningful.

Mr Julian Motha

I work with my clients in a person-centred way, which includes warmth, genuineness, understanding and non-judgement.

I have experience with clients in both private practice and school settings, with children, adolescents and adults. Over this time, I have worked on presentations including grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and neurodevelopmental concerns.

Book Practitioner

Ms Angelique Grosskopf(She/her)

Psychologist

My goal as a psychologist is to empower clients to live meaningful and fulfilling lives, thus making my role redundant. I have a strong interest in the neurological underpinnings of mental health and the effects of life stressors including trauma, but also the innate potential of our minds to recover and heal. I work with children, adolescents and adults, offering compassionate and collaborative therapeutic support for a variety of presentations. My approach is analytical, yet informed by a holistic perspective that considers the mind-body connection. In this way, clients can understand the specific, yet interconnecting factors that relate to their challenges and the resulting impact. Greater understanding can then inform strategies that can initiate change and promote wellbeing. I utilise evidence-based interventions through a strengths-based, neuro-affirming and trauma-informed lens. My therapeutic approach integrates a range of modalities including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and schema therapy. Through my former professional roles in diverse countries, I have developed an understanding of the broad cultural and social factors that impact mental health and wellbeing. These experiences have enriched my current practice as a psychologist and contributed to a desire to embolden and empower vulnerable and marginalised members of our community.
Book Practitioner

Ms Charlotte Arnold

Psychologist

I work with adults and adolescents on a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, personality disorders and trauma as well as difficulties with attachment and relationships, emotion regulation, identity, self-esteem, stress and adjustment. I believe we would work particularly well together if you value an insight-focused and reflective approach. However, I work collaboratively with my clients and strive to customise therapy to their individual needs and preferences to ensure they feel understood and supported. My therapeutic style is personable, reflective and curious, and I believe an important part of the work is getting to know you as a person. Typically, I hold an open and non-judgemental space where I will be ask a lot of questions to explore meaningful life patterns and experiences. This helps us to get to the crux of the issue and unlock answers usually hidden from awareness. I also combine this practice with the provision of evidence-based therapeutic techniques drawn from modalities such as CBT, ACT, Schema Therapy and mindfulness. In working together, my goal is to stimulate deeper self-understanding and help you to live a life that is emotionally-balanced and truer to you.

Book Practitioner

Ms Mairead O'Connor(She/her)

Psychologist

I take a warm, relational, and trauma-informed approach to therapy. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel genuinely safe, understood, and able to explore your inner world with curiosity and care. I work with adults navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, burnout, and emotional patterns that can feel hard to shift. I also work in a neuroaffirming way with people exploring their experiences of attention, energy, and regulation in a world that isn’t always built with difference in mind. Many of the people I work with describe feeling stuck, caught in familiar cycles of self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection from others. Some arrive in therapy with a clear issue to work through, while others come with a more general sense that something isn’t quite right. Either way, we explore it together – gently, collaboratively, and at your pace. I have experience working with recovery, where the focus often extends beyond the behaviour itself to include the emotional, relational, and protective patterns that sit beneath. This might involve exploring experiences like grief, trauma, or disconnection. I also have experience supporting veterans and first responders, and I approach this work with deep respect for the impact of high-stress environments and the adaptations people make to survive them. Therapy with me tends to be spacious and conversational. I may offer structure and direction where helpful, while allowing room for things to unfold naturally. I believe that humour, lightness, and authenticity can sit alongside depth, creating a therapy experience that feels both genuine and supportive. If you’re considering therapy, whether it’s your first time or you’re returning after a break, I’ll meet you where you are with warmth, curiosity, and care.

Ms Marianna Quiñones

My purpose as a psychologist is to assist my clients in understanding how their past experiences, even from early stages in life, can lead to patterns of unhelpful beliefs and behaviours and affect their current functioning. I bring an empathetic, warm and holistic approach to the therapeutic space, including evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the individual’s needs. I welcome individuals from diverse origins and backgrounds, being mindful of the influence of cultural settings on one’s perspectives about different aspects of life. I establish an alliance based on mutual respect and consideration, empowering my clients to be active collaborators in their therapeutic process, which helps them flourish into more equipped individuals with a wider range of strategies to live according to their values and better cope with challenging situations.
