PLEASE NOTE : I AM NOT A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE MEDICARE BENEFITS SCHEME, otherwise known as the Mental Health Care Plan.
I am a member of the LGBTIQA+ community and welcome working with people from the community for any issue, but particularly with suicidality and gender dysphoria. I also very much welcome working with non-LGBTIQA+ men and women for any of the difficulties listed on my Specialities page and other issues beyond that list.
I work with people’s understanding of their mental states and knowledge of their body, utilising somatic principles in conjunction with the specialist modalities listed above.
The areas I specialise in are as follows: attachment disorders, complex trauma histories, those diagnosed with personality disorders, specialising in Borderline Personality Disorder. More recently I have been working with a lot of clients who have ADHD and ASD. I offer ASD assessments and hope to offer ADHD assessment screeners soon. I have had some success with those diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and BiPolar Affective Disorder.
I am open to working with adults from the age of 16 through to the end of life.

My work is underpinned by academic study, supported by science and qualifications. I focus on practical and logical techniques to support client recovery. It is vital that clients benefit from goal setting and result-focused methods.

Tony O'Loughlin
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, GradDip
I am a trauma-informed integrative psychotherapist specializing in helping individuals heal from childhood developmental trauma, reconnect with their inner selves, and foster deep emotional healing. My approach blends somatic therapy, parts work (IFS), and nervous system regulation to address the profound mind-body connection that trauma impacts. I believe healing occurs when we learn to listen to the wisdom of our bodies, meet the wounded parts of ourselves with compassion, and reclaim the sense of safety we may have lost.
In my practice, I provide a safe, compassionate space where your full experience is welcomed. Together, we explore the parts of you that feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, gently supporting you as you uncover your authentic self and rebuild a stronger sense of wholeness.
Who I Work With
I work with individuals and couples who experience:
Childhood trauma or attachment wounds
Overwhelm, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation
Feelings of disconnection or difficulty trusting themselves
Persistent patterns of shame, self-criticism, or relational struggles
Navigating relationship challenges

I offer online therapy to increase access to people who have trouble getting to an in person therapist or simply prefer online therapy. My psychotherapy approach is tailored to your needs and what works best for you. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and I have worked with refugees, neurodivergent people, poly people, gay/lesbian/bi people, trans people, and intersex people with a variety of mental health concerns. Helping people overcome trauma is something I'm especially passionate about. I am also able to provide ADOS-2 autism assessments for adults and older teens.
