Hi, I am Yuki. I am a neurodivergent & queer counsellor who is committed to providing a safe & nonjudgmental (shame-free) space for all genders, identities, neurotypes, and bodies. I collaborate with clients to explore their unique inner experiences being identified as neurodivergent; LGBTQIA+; CALD and more. I work from a non-pathologising stance, meaning that I will not see clients solely as their labels and/or diagnoses, rather, each person is their own unique being and we co-design strategies that work for the particular individual/situation. My special interests are working with late/adult-diagnosed female neurodivergent individuals, people who'd like support in navigating mental health systems, people who feel like an outsider or lack a sense of belonging, people who feel marginalised due to their identity (identities), and people who struggle with complex mental health needs. There are 5 core principles embedded in all modalities I list for my practice: person-centred, strength-based, neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and trauma-informed.

I am a registered counsellor. I have been working with adolescents, young adults and adults for over ten years. I consider the role of counsellor to be a privilege. Humour is the biggest strength I bring to the counselling space. I am particularly interested in Men’s mental health and strive to create a safe space for open discussions around feelings, emotions and challenges that men face. The quality of our working relationship has a significant impact on the counselling process. We will work collaboratively to help increase your self-awareness of your relationship with yourself and others and explore any obstacles preventing you from living your best life by helping you develop the skills to achieve it. Although various counselling modalities exist, I will use a combination of approaches, including person-centred (client-led), solution-focused, and CBT. At times you may laugh with me, and more often than not, you will laugh at me…but it’s all part of the fun. In my downtime, I enjoy a hike in the middle of nowhere, my martial arts class, and drawing if I am not doing some woodwork or learning about the latest tech gadgets.

Welcome! Counselling with me is a space centred around your unique journey, where your experiences, culture, and values are welcome and honoured. My approach is grounded in being client-centred, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and fully affirming of neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ identities. With a background in youth addiction counselling in the public sector, I bring a dual-diagnosis perspective to our work together. This means we address both substance use and underlying mental health factors, recognising how life stressors, mental health needs, and the systems around you connect to impact your overall well-being. My approach allows us to consider all aspects of your life, whether they relate to: - Mental health and well-being - Personal relationships - Cultural background(s) and identities - Important life factors and experiences - Generational trauma and experiences Inclusivity and Cultural Sensitivity: My practice is inclusive, with extensive experience working with culturally and racially marginalised (CARM) communities, including refugees, asylum seekers, and those who identify as BIPOC, bicultural, or third-cultured. Having grown up in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia), Qatar, the UAE, and Lebanon, I understand the complexities of navigating multiple cultural identities and have developed a personal and knowledgeable understanding for clients with ties to SWANA (South West Asia and North Africa) and MENA (Middle East North Africa) regions. From my work with the LGBTQIA+ community in Lebanon, as well as with survivors of war and those who have lost loved ones to its impacts, I’ve come to value the resilience and strength of navigating identity, safety, and belonging amid challenging cultural landscapes. These experiences shape my practice, allowing me to offer support that is trauma-informed, culturally attuned, and sensitive to the unique layers of each person’s journey. What We Can Explore Together: Our work can cover a broad range of topics, always with respect for your individual needs and life context. Areas we might explore together include: - Past, complex, or ongoing trauma and trust - Cross-cultural identity(ies) and/or relationships - Ancestral roots and connection (if meaningful to you) - Addiction and how it is interconnected to other parts of your life - Systems of oppression (both micro and macro) and/or discrimination that may have, or continue to, impact you Using decolonial and depathologising approaches, I work with a variety of therapeutic tools to meet your unique preferences and needs, including: - Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - Inner child work - Motivational interviewing (MI) - Parts exploration - Somatic approaches (possibly including your cultural/traditional dances, songs, and other somatic healing rituals) - Art therapy - Decolonial therapy which may include exploring/incorporating your cultural, spiritual, personal, generational, traditional, and healing rituals. Bringing a Personal Touch My cat is a gentle (mostly), curious presence and might make an appearance during sessions. If it helps you feel more comfortable, you’re more than welcome to bring your pet into our space too. Outside of our sessions, I’m a third-cultured, neurodivergent music lover—especially metal—and enjoy gaming, dancing, hiking, and travelling. Sharing music, games, or other interests can definitely be part of our sessions if that resonates with you. If you’re ready to start this journey, please reach out. It would be an honor to support you in finding healing and growth on your path.

As a registered counsellor with over a decade of experience, I specialise in supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults. I consider walking alongside clients in their journey a privilege, bringing warmth, understanding, and a touch of humour to the counselling space. My passion lies in mental health, Autism, and ADHD. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can openly explore emotions and challenges. The foundation of our work together is the quality of our relationship, which I believe is key to meaningful change. Together, we’ll deepen your self-awareness, identify obstacles, and develop practical strategies to help you thrive. I draw from various evidence-based modalities, including person-centred (client-led), solution-focused, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. Expect moments of genuine connection and, yes, some laughter along the way. Whether it’s sharing a joke or a light-hearted moment (even at my expense!), humour can be a powerful tool in creating a positive and engaging therapeutic experience. Outside of counselling, I enjoy exploring remote hiking trails, practising martial arts, sketching, woodworking, and staying curious about the latest tech innovations.
