Joshua Cohen (Bcouns) is an accredited Australian Counselling Association Counsellor and is the Counsellor at Peninsula Counselling Solutions. I am client centred, meeting clients where they are and I am passionate about helping people move beyond what they feel is impacting their quality of life. Are you feeling anxious, finding motivation difficult, feeling like you want more from life or are even at a crossroads of not knowing where you would like to do with your life? Is negative self talk standing in your way?

Principal Clinical Counsellor / Relationship Therapist Michelle Keir-Sanderson (Empowered Mind Counselling Service) provides a confidential, supportive and affordable counselling and psychotherapy service to Individuals (16 years and over), couples and family members.

I support people to resolve deeply held patterns of trauma or stress related disorders that play havoc on the nervous system. These patterns and disruptions can often hold you back from fully expressing yourself or reaching your optimum levels of health and vitality. Maybe you have had stubborn health issues or an unresolved trauma that keeps playing out in your personal and professional relationships or you have a burning desire to step out and tread your own path but something is holding you back and you don't know how or where to start?

I help couples and individuals re-discover their relationships and build stronger connections that bring joy and fulfilment. Instead of simply talking about issues you are dealing with, we will learn practical, effective communication tools that can transform your conversations and help you break through gridlocked issues. And if you feel disconnected from your partner, we will use research-based methods of strengthening your connection so that you can feel closer again.

I'm a registered Psychologist who works with children, adolescents and their families to achieve their mental health goals. I have experience working with neurodiverse (such as Autism and ADHD) and neurotypical populations. Most commonly I support young people experiencing anxiety, low mood, social and behavioral difficulties, stress and low self-esteem.

I like to see people as whole beings, linking their emotional and physical symptoms to gain a better understanding of the underlying issues. I believe in holding a space where you have an opportunity to learn to sit with vulnerability. And in that vulnerability you heal, you process, you connect to yourself, you dive deeper into an understanding of yourself, you do the work to expand into a version of yourself that you are proud of.

Equine and Animal Assisted Psychotherapy is an innovative approach to clinical practice and psychotherapy where clients are invited into safe relational experiences with horses and animals to address therapeutic goals. This is engaging and effective for diverse clients including adults, children, adolescents, organisations, and specialist client groups.

I work with clients experiencing a range of difficulties, I recognise that all clients are unique and therefore approach each and every session with genuineness, curiosity and a range of therapeutic interventions that I can draw on to support my clients. My specialty is working with Children, Adolescents, Mums and Bubs and Families. This client group can benefit from attachment-based interventions, relationship and communication skills as well as emotion regulation and psychoeducation.
